Hire Without Adding Headcount

Bring on a Sales fellow, a Paralegal fellow, a Support Engineer fellow — each one custom-built for one role, living in your Slack, serving your whole team. Get the work done without the salary, the benefits, the ramp time, or the seat in the office.

You need the work done. You can't justify the hire.

Every growing team hits the same wall. There's a role you need filled — sales rep, paralegal, support engineer, customer success manager. The work is real. The volume is real. What you don't have is the budget for a full-time salary plus benefits plus the 90 days of ramp time before they're productive.

So the work doesn't get done. Your founders cover sales on top of building the product. Your senior engineers handle tier-1 tickets they shouldn't be touching. Your contracts get drafted at 11 PM by whoever has time. The team burns out and you tell yourself you'll hire "next quarter" for the third quarter in a row.

There's a third option.

Bring on an AI fellow instead

An AI fellow is a custom-built AI specialist that lives in your Slack or Microsoft Teams. It is trained for one role — Sales, Paralegal, Support Engineer, Market Researcher, whatever you need. It serves your whole team. Anyone can ping it.

Setup takes about a week. Annual pricing. No per-seat charges. No credit meters. No salary, no benefits, no ramp.

This is not a replacement for human hires. It is a way to get specific roles covered without committing to a full-time hire today. As you grow, you can bring on humans for the work that requires human judgment, while fellows handle the recurring specialist work that doesn't.

What it looks like in practice

Founders running sales themselves

Bring on a Sales fellow. The fellow qualifies inbound, drafts outbound sequences, updates the CRM, and reports on the pipeline. You stay on calls and demos. The founder team stops writing follow-up emails at midnight.

Senior engineers stuck in tier-1 tickets

Bring on a Support Engineer fellow. The fellow handles password resets, common product issues, and onboarding-confirmation tickets. Your senior engineers go back to project work. Your customers get faster first-response times.

Law firm where partners are drafting their own contracts

Bring on a Paralegal fellow. The fellow drafts contracts from your firm's templates, organizes case files, and tracks deadlines. Partners review and sign instead of drafting from scratch.

When traditional hiring is still the right call

Some work needs a human. Closing complex enterprise deals takes a human relationship. Senior judgment calls take a senior human. Customer-facing work that requires emotional intelligence takes a human.

AI fellows handle the recurring specialist work that humans don't enjoy and shouldn't have to do. Drafting routine emails. Logging CRM activities. Triaging tier-1 tickets. Tracking deadlines. The work that slows your humans down is the work fellows take on. The work that requires real human judgment stays with humans.

If you've been telling yourself "I just need someone to handle the routine work," you don't need a hire. You need a fellow.
