What an AI employee actually does all day

"AI employee" sounds like marketing until you watch one work. So here is the honest version: a day in the life of an Exerta agent on a mid-size DTC account.

Co-founder & CEO

12:04am. A comment lands on the evening's best-performing ad: "do you ship to Canada?" The agent reads it, recognizes a buying question, and replies in the brand's voice with the shipping answer and a link. Elapsed time: seconds. The buyer checks out before half past.

2:37am. A wave of crypto spam hits three ads at once. Hidden, all of it, before anyone awake in that timezone scrolls past. The comment section your morning buyers see is clean.



Morning: the handoffs

8:15am. A customer with a genuinely delayed order comments, upset. The agent acknowledges publicly, moves the conversation to DM, shares the support contact and flags it. When a human from the team steps into that DM, the agent goes quiet in that conversation automatically. Nobody gets talked over.



Afternoon: the compounding part

Through the day the agent is not just answering, it is accumulating. Every question, objection and outcome becomes structure: what buyers keep asking, which objections keep appearing, which answers keep closing. That feedback sharpens the replies and, in the hands of your media buyer, sharpens the next round of ads. The comment section becomes research you did not have to run.



The honest summary

An AI employee is not magic. It is coverage, speed and consistency applied to work your team was never going to keep up with by hand: every channel, every timezone, every language, without breaks or churn. The humans stay in charge of judgment. The agent just makes sure nothing worth judging slips past.

1. Pricing and billing All prices displayed on exerta.ai are in US dollars and exclude applicable taxes unless stated otherwise. Prices are subject to change. Existing subscribers will receive at least 30 days’ written notice before any price increase takes effect on their account. Annual plan savings are calculated by comparing the annual billing rate to the equivalent monthly billing rate multiplied by 12.

2. Run and usage statisticsRevenue, engagement and success figures are based on aggregated platform data and customer-reported results across 250+ brands, and are updated periodically.

3. Time-to-value claims Statements such as “set up in under 5 minutes” and “live in seconds” reflect median setup times observed across new users completing standard workflow configurations using pre-built templates. Actual setup time may vary depending on the complexity of the workflow, the number of integrations connected, and the user’s familiarity with automation tools.

4. AI step suggestions Exerta’s AI features are powered by a blend of leading AI models, anchored by our own fine-tuned engagement model. Suggestion quality, accuracy and availability may vary. Exerta does not guarantee that AI-generated output will be accurate, complete or suitable for any particular use case. Review AI output before acting on it.

5. Integration availability The number of native integrations referenced on this website reflects integrations available at the time of last update. Integration availability may vary by subscription plan. Third-party integrations are subject to the terms, availability and API limitations of the respective third-party providers. Exerta does not guarantee the continued availability of any specific integration and is not responsible for disruptions caused by changes to third-party APIs or services.

6. Uptime and SLA The 99.9% uptime figure refers to our published Service Level Agreement (SLA) target for Growth and Enterprise plan customers. Actual uptime is measured on a monthly basis and excludes scheduled maintenance windows, force majeure events, and outages caused by third-party infrastructure providers. Historical uptime data is available at exerta.ai/status. SLA credits are available to eligible customers as described in the Terms of Service.

7. Security and compliance certifications Exerta’s SOC 2 Type II (coming soon) certification covers the security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality and privacy trust service criteria. GDPR compliance reflects our internal data protection practices and contractual commitments. HIPAA compliance is available exclusively on Enterprise plans and requires execution of a Business Associate Agreement (BAA). ISO 27001 certification is currently in progress. Compliance certifications are subject to annual renewal and audit. Copies of our most recent compliance reports are available to Enterprise customers under NDA upon request.

8.

13. Run log retention Run log history is retained for 7 days on the Starter plan, 90 days on the Growth plan, and indefinitely on the Enterprise plan. Log data older than the applicable retention limit is automatically and permanently deleted and cannot be recovered. Customers requiring longer retention periods should upgrade to an appropriate plan before the retention limit is reached.
