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 and prices the time it frees. Everything runs in your browser.
How it works
Split the role, then price the time.
The same exercise we run before every AI employee build, reduced to rules you can read. For the full method, see AI employee or new hire? How to split a role.
01
Duties, not titles
The posting is broken into individual duties. Qualifications, benefits, and company boilerplate are skipped.
02
Three buckets
Each duty is matched against keyword rules: the AI employee runs it, the AI drafts and a human approves, or it stays human. No match means human.
03
Hours and dollars
AI-run duties count in full and drafted ones count half. That share of a 40-hour week and 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?
It splits your job description into individual duties and checks each one against a published set of keyword rules. Each duty lands in one of three buckets: the AI employee runs it, the AI drafts and a human approves, or it stays human. Anything the rules don't recognize stays human. Drafted work counts as half. The automatable share times a 40-hour week gives the hours freed, and the same share of the loaded salary gives the dollar value. We cap the estimate at 80 percent, because every AI employee still needs a person who owns the exceptions.
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 rough, keyword-based estimate. It reads the words in a posting, not the actual work: volumes, systems, exceptions, and how much each duty really takes. Two postings with the same words can hide very different jobs. 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.
