Questions people ask
Straight answers about what Amina and Pendo do, what they never do, and how a workspace is set up.
- What is an AI employee?
- A named, specialized agent connected to your company knowledge, your tools, your schedules, and your approval rules. Amina runs operations: inbox, calendar, phone, meetings, CRM, follow-ups. Pendo runs content: posts, newsletters, campaigns. Jabari runs growth: he studies how you make money, builds a 90-day plan around one number, assigns the work to the other two, and reports every week. They hand work to each other and escalate to a person when a task needs one.
- What can they do without asking me?
- Read, label, look things up, save drafts, update internal records, and prepare briefs. Anything addressed to your clients (emails, texts, social posts, meeting recaps), money, and deletions waits for your approval unless you set a policy that allows it. Two things run on their own: Pendo publishes the articles you planned to your website (switch that off to approve each one), and the phone line answers and books calls from people who ring in.
- What does day one look like?
- About half an hour. You give us your website and the team drafts your Brain from it, which you can read before you create an account. You sign in with Google or an emailed code, with no password and no card. Then you start Amina's first day: she asks a few questions about how you work, corrects the Brain with your answers, and connects your calendar or mailbox. She finishes something real the same day, such as triaging a morning's inbox, recapping a meeting, or drafting your first article. Pendo and Jabari have a first day of their own when you are ready for them.
- What is shadow mode?
- The first two weeks of every workspace. Everything runs and every action is prepared, but no email or article goes out without a person approving it. You see exactly what they would have done.
- Which tools do they work in?
- Today: mailboxes on your own domain, Gmail, Microsoft 365 and Outlook, Google Calendar, Slack, LinkedIn, Facebook Pages, WordPress, Webflow, a business phone line, and meetings on Zoom, Google Meet, and Teams. CRMs like HubSpot and Pipedrive, project tools, and accounting are on the roadmap. Until a tool is connected, the employees work in a private sandbox so you can test safely.
- Do I need Google Workspace?
- No. Most of our customers run their own domain on a host like GoDaddy or WordPress with the mailbox that came with it. Each employee can work from a mailbox on your domain, Gmail, or Microsoft 365. Your website is what we read to set up the Brain, whatever host it is on.
- How do they learn my business?
- At onboarding we read your public website and draft the Brain from it: what you do, who you serve, how you sound, prices, and common questions. You correct it, and you can edit it any time on the Brain page.
- Is my data used to train models?
- No. Your data runs your workspace and nothing else. Model providers are used under business terms that exclude training.
- How much does it cost?
- You pay for the hours your AI employees work. Solo is $29 a month for Amina with 25 hours, Team is $59 for Amina, Pendo, and Jabari with 80 hours, Workforce is $99 with 150 hours, every future employee included, and priority support. Yearly billing is about 20 percent less. Unlimited users and workspaces on every plan, one account per company. Every plan includes two reels a month, short vertical videos built from an article you already published; thirty more is $29 a month. Implementation is separate: assisted onboarding is $299 one-time, custom implementation from $1,500, and a managed workforce from $299 a month on top of a plan.
- Can they answer the phone?
- Yes. Amina answers a business phone number in your company's voice, takes messages, books appointments on your calendar, and emails you a summary of every call. You can forward your existing line to it and choose her voice and accent.
- How will uBumi help us make money?
- Before the team starts, Jabari evaluates your revenue model, customer journey, and pipeline from nine questions and your own data. He finds where you lose opportunities and builds a 90-day plan around one commercial goal. Amina and Pendo execute it, and Jabari measures qualified prospects, meetings, proposals, conversions, pipeline value, and revenue influenced, every week.
- How do I reach a person?
- Write to support@ubumiai.com. A person answers, usually the same business day. Inside the app, the account menu and the Billing page link to the same address.
- What happens when they are unsure?
- They escalate: the thread, their summary, and a suggested next step land in your needs-you list and in chat. Pricing not on the approved list, legal or tax questions, and complaints are always escalated.
