288 AI employees, not 288 chatbots

· The STARGO WORK team · All articles

The difference between an employee and a bot

A chatbot starts from a blank prompt and is finished after one answer. An AI employee has a role, a goal, skills, tools, memory, enterprise knowledge, permissions, tasks and execution evidence. It knows what it is responsible for, what the company has, and which actions must be cleared with a person first.

What 288 stands for

288 is the STARGO WORK workforce capability system: roles in market research, importer intelligence, dealer discovery, buying-committee mapping, product matching, quoting, follow-up, documentation, content and more. Model calls, concurrency and automated tasks are configured per plan; it is not unlimited model usage — the pricing page says the same.

Teams in seconds

One complex goal — entering a new market to find dealers, say — calls research, importer, dealer, company, buying-committee, product, email, CRM and follow-up agents at once. They share the enterprise ontology, exchange context, tasks and results, and an orchestrator consolidates the work and hands back only what needs a human decision. A digital team, not a chat window.

The company doesn’t stop when you close your laptop

Scheduled routines and event triggers keep agents running authorised tasks after you leave the desk, and start them automatically when a customer, order or market state changes. Running in the cloud means the office, the factory, the trade show and the airport all open the same enterprise AI workspace. Meet the AI workforce.
