Ghost Employee is an autonomous agentic AI assistant powered by IBM watsonx Orchestrate that eliminates busywork for knowledge workers—emails, scheduling, reporting, and admin tasks—saving 15–20 hours weekly while learning each person’s unique work style. Problem Knowledge professionals lose 60% of their time to routine coordination tasks—email responses, calendar management, status reports, documentation, and expense filing. This inefficiency costs businesses $1.8T annually, drives burnout, and leaves little room for strategic, creative work. Solution Unlike traditional AI copilots that wait for prompts, Ghost Employee works proactively, watching your workspace and acting independently. Using watsonx Orchestrate + Granite-13B, it learns your tone, meeting preferences, work priorities, and adapts continuously. Capabilities Email Autopilot: Replies in your voice, prioritizes urgency, escalates sensitive messages. Calendar Intelligence: Accepts/declines based on rules, protects focus time, prepares meeting briefs. Automated Reports & Updates: Converts activity into clean status summaries. Expenses: OCR receipt capture, categorization, automated submissions. Meeting Assistant: Transcription, summaries, action items, automated follow-ups. Safety & Control Three-tier autonomy: 90%+ confidence: Execute automatically 70–90%: Approval workflow High-risk tasks: Always escalate Tech Event-driven orchestration with 10+ integrations (Gmail, Calendar, Slack, Jira, Notion).
