AI Employee Role Splitter

Paste a job description. See which part of the role an AI employee can run, which part stays human, and what it is worth.

Split a role

The short answer: an AI employee can usually run between half and two thirds of a coordinator-class role: the scheduling, data entry, status chasing, reporting, and first drafts. Relationships, negotiation, managing people, and judgment stay human. This calculator splits your posting duty by duty, estimates the hours each one takes, and prices the time it frees.

Your text is analyzed by Claude, Anthropic's AI, and is not used to train AI models. We never store what you paste. We keep only the generated split for 180 days, so your share link works.

How it works

Split the role, then price the time.

The same exercise we run before every AI employee build, done by AI in about 20 seconds. For the full method, see AI employee or new hire? How to split a role.

  1. 01

    Duties, not titles

    The posting is broken into individual duties. Qualifications, benefits, and company boilerplate are skipped.

  2. 02

    Three buckets

    Claude places each duty: the AI employee runs it, the AI drafts and a human approves, or it stays human. When in doubt, it picks the safer bucket.

  3. 03

    Hours and dollars

    Each duty gets a realistic share of the 40-hour week. AI-run hours count in full, drafted hours count half, and that share of the loaded salary is what the split is worth.

FAQ

Can AI do this job?

Which jobs can AI do?

AI rarely does a whole job. It does the parts of a job that are digital, repetitive, and describable: scheduling, data entry, status chasing, reporting, inbox triage, CRM updates, invoice processing, and first drafts. Relationships, negotiation, managing people, in-person work, and genuine judgment calls stay human. For coordinator-class roles, the repeatable share typically lands between half and two thirds of the week.

How does this AI employee calculator work?

Claude, Anthropic's AI, reads your job description with the same method we use before every AI employee build. It splits the role into duties, puts each one in a bucket (the AI employee runs it, the AI drafts and a human approves, or it stays human), estimates the hours each duty takes in a 40-hour week, and names the guardrail that makes it safe. A duty only counts as AI-run if its inputs are consistent, its rules can be written down, and there is a clear check that it was done right. Decisions about people and money never go to the AI alone. Drafted hours count as half, and the result is capped at 80 percent, because every AI employee still needs a person who owns the exceptions. An instant keyword estimate shows while the AI works, and stays as a fallback if the AI is unavailable.

Can AI do this job instead of hiring someone?

Usually not all of it, and that is the useful answer. When most of a role is repeatable, the common outcome is an AI employee built for the repeatable share plus a part-time hire, or a full-time hire who spends the week on judgment instead of busywork. A bounded AI employee build starts at $3,500 fixed, against a coordinator salary that recurs every year.

How accurate is the estimate?

It is a strong first read based on the posting alone. The AI weighs duties by realistic hours and explains each call, but it cannot see your real volumes, systems, and exceptions, and two postings with the same words can hide very different jobs. It also lists the assumptions it made and the questions that would change the answer. A real split takes about 30 minutes with someone who knows the role, and we do that for free.

Hire for the judgment. Build the rest.

We design, build, secure, and run custom AI employees for small and mid-sized businesses, with human sign-off on anything that matters. Bounded builds from $3,500, fixed fee. Thirty minutes, free, and you'll know which half of the seat to fill.
