Questions
What owners ask us.
How is an AI Operator different from a Systems Director?
An AI Operator is full time and works under your lead. You set the direction, and they build and run the processes. A Systems Director is U.S. based and leads with their own expertise, setting the direction for how your systems get built.
Do you train the AI Operator?
Yes. We train your operator on your systems, SOPs and AI tools before they start, then keep training them as your systems grow.
Is the AI Operator a real person?
Yes. A full time human professional who builds and runs agentic processes and handles the work around them.
Who manages the AI Operator?
Ballast does. We recruit, onboard and manage them to the scorecard, so you get the output without running another person.
Does an AI Operator build custom agents?
No. Your operator builds and runs agentic processes: the AI workflows and automations inside the tools you already use. A custom agent that owns a full role is a separate build.
What hours do they work?
Your hours, on the channels your team already uses. We set that in the role outline.
