Digital colleagues

A digital colleague is an AI agent you hire like an app. It holds its own role on your map, has a person who is responsible for it, and only does the work its role describes. The first digital colleague is the Translator, which keeps your roles, groups and their fields in every language your organization works in.

Meet the digital colleagues

Digital colleagues work with Peerdom+. Owners hire them and let them go.

Start a digital colleague

This example hires the Translator.

1. Click the + in the App Bar.
2. Choose New digital colleague. The App Store opens on the Digital colleagues tab.
3. Click Meet on the Translator to read what it does, then click Hire Translator.
4. Check the purchase summary: the price per paid seat, the amount charged today for the rest of your billing period, and the card on file.
5. Confirm with Hire Translator. When it’s hired, open Translator settings to check its languages and who is responsible.

The Translator now holds its own role in External. You can move it anywhere on your map.

On its first day, the Translator starts with your content languages. If none are set, it reads your map, proposes the languages it found and waits for an Owner to confirm them in Settings › Translations.

Make someone responsible

Every digital colleague needs a person who is responsible for it: a human co-holder of its role.

• The Owner who hires a colleague from the App Store becomes responsible for it.
• On the colleague’s Colleague tab, click Add co-holder to share the responsibility.
• A colleague carried over from an earlier Peerdom plan or added by Peerdom starts without a responsible person. Its tab says so, and an Owner can click Become responsible.

Follow its work

Each digital colleague shows one status, everywhere in Peerdom:

The Translator’s tab also shows how many texts are in sync and how many are waiting. New and changed texts are usually translated within 10 minutes.

The Digital colleagues app

Once you have hired a colleague, the App Bar shows one Digital colleagues entry. Open it to see all your colleagues at once:

• Cards: what each colleague is doing and who is responsible
• Table: name, role, responsible person, status and hire date
• Board: your colleagues grouped by the labels you give them

Open a colleague to see its panel, or choose Open on map to jump to its role.

This app is the one place for your digital colleagues. The Directory and the person pickers list people, and the Directory’s Roles table shows a colleague’s role with its human co-holders.

Billing and letting go

Each digital colleague costs CHF 2 per paid seat per month with annual billing, or CHF 2.40 with monthly billing, on top of your Peerdom+ subscription. You find your colleagues in Settings › Billing, in their own section.

• Let go stops a colleague at the end of your current billing period. Until then it keeps working, and its row shows Leaving with the date.
• Keep undoes a scheduled let go before that date.
• After a colleague has left, its role stays on your map. To hire it again, click Rehire Translator on its role.

If your organization already used automatic translation in Peerdom, your Translator is already hired and included in your contract. Letting it go stops it right away, and Bring back restores it at any time, at no charge.

FAQ

Who can hire a digital colleague? Owners of an organization on Peerdom+.

Can a digital colleague change my map? Only within its role. The Translator writes translations of your texts; it never changes what your roles say.

What happens to the role when I let a colleague go? The role stays on your map, so you keep the record of the work.
