How a Nestably AI Worker actually operates

No mystery box. An AI Worker is a narrow, supervised process: your rules go in, actions are logged, and anything consequential waits for a person.

1

Company rules + permissions

You write the rules: tone, hours, what may be answered, what must wait. Each action is assigned a permission level.

2

AI Worker

One worker, one queue. It only ever acts inside the rules you approved for that role.

3

Connected tools

Scoped access to the systems the queue actually needs — read-only wherever that is enough.

4

Action log

Every read, draft, decision and send is recorded with a timestamp and a reason.

5

Exception queue

Anything outside the rules stops here with full context, instead of being guessed at.

6

Owner dashboard

You see activity, approve or reject drafts, adjust permissions, and stop the worker instantly.

Four permission levels

Draft Only

The AI Worker prepares the work but nothing leaves your business until a person sends it.

Auto Low-Risk

Routine, reversible internal steps run on their own — tagging, sorting, logging, reminders.

Human Approval Required

Anything a customer sees or that affects money waits in the exception queue for a person.

Hard Blocked

Permanently off. Contracts, purchases, payments, legal commitments and pricing changes are never automated.
