We screen for AI. We build AI. We sell AI as a service.
Three things, on one page. We screen every specialist for fluency in the AI tools your workflow already runs on, and train them after placement. We run production AI in our own business — the assistant on this page is ours. And we run the recurring, scheduled AI work for you, as AI teammates. AI-readiness is not a buzzword here; it is a practical set of skills applied inside the systems your business already runs. Every Zedtreeo specialist is screened against this standard before placement — from $1,056/month.
⌬ Quick Answer
What is Zedtreeo's AI-Ready Program?
Three things. (1) A screening and training standard applied to every specialist Zedtreeo places: candidates are tested for fluency in the AI tools your workflow already runs on (Copilot, ChatGPT/Claude, role-specific automation) before they reach a shortlist, and human reviewers audit AI-assisted output before deliverables ship. It costs nothing extra — AI-ready staff are billed at the same published rates (from $6/hour, $1,056/month full-time), with a 48-hour shortlist and a 5-day free trial.

Four capabilities. No buzzwords.
At Zedtreeo, AI-readiness covers four areas. Every specialist on our roster has been screened against these — not certified in the abstract, but assessed on real work.
Tool fluency
Candidates can use role-relevant tools — ChatGPT, Claude, Notion AI, ClickUp, HubSpot, QuickBooks, WordPress, Zapier, Make, or whatever your stack requires.
Example: A bookkeeper demonstrates reconciliation inside Xero with Dext receipt capture and AI-assisted categorisation, not just describing the platform.
Workflow literacy
Candidates can read SOPs, follow documented processes, update systems, and flag gaps — instead of guessing or working around them.
Example: An SEO specialist reads your content-brief SOP, executes a sample brief, and flags two ambiguous steps for clarification before publishing.
Human-reviewed AI output
AI-generated drafts, summaries, research, reports, or content are treated as drafts — never final answers — with judgment applied before delivery.
Example: A VA uses ChatGPT to draft a client weekly summary, then revises factual claims against the source system before sending. Drafting time -70%, accuracy preserved.
Prompt competency
Candidates can use AI tools for summarisation, drafting, research, task breakdown, data structuring, and QA support — within the boundaries of your workflow.
Example: A developer writes prompts for Claude Code that include constraint specs, example outputs, and rollback criteria — not just "fix this bug".
The Zedtreeo AI advantage.
While other staffing agencies provide traditional talent, every Zedtreeo professional completes our proprietary AI training program — mastering 40+ AI tools, earning certification across three skill levels, and learning to apply AI to their specific domain. The result is a workforce that doesn't just use AI occasionally — they think in AI workflows, ship faster, and produce higher-quality work than teams twice their size.
We don't just supply AI-ready people — we build AI.
You're hiring AI-fluent staff from a company that ships production AI itself. Here are the AI systems we built and run in-house.
⌬ Customer-Facing AI

- Answers anything — general questions and grounded brand answers, with strict guardrails (no made-up facts)
- Captures and qualifies leads, then emails a chat summary
- Books intro calls automatically
- Escalates to a real person on request
Neil's open in the corner of this page — ask him something.

Free AI tools we built — try them yourself
We shipped a suite of AI-powered tools anyone can use free on this site — proof our team builds with the same LLMs we screen our people for, with the bot-protection and rate-limiting we engineered in.
- AI Role Recommender — describe your challenge, get the roles to hire
- AI Interview Scorer — paste answers, get a structured hire / no-hire read
- AI JD Optimizer — rewrite a job description for remote hiring
- AI SEO Content Brief — keyword in, full brief out

Explore the free tools →AI teammates — the recurring work, run for you.
Some work is a person. Some work is a schedule. An AI teammate is the scheduled half — the crawl, the audit, the weekly briefing — run on top of a seat, or on its own. Every one is AI-run and reviewed by our team before anything reaches you. It is work we run for you, not software you log into.
Ava
SEO & AI-Search Analyst
Ava runs the diagnosis your SEO specialist acts on. She crawls the site weekly, compares what you rank for against what Search Console says people actually search, and audits whether AI assistants can read and cite your pages at all.
- Weekly full-site crawl with a ranked, prioritised issue list
- Keyword-gap analysis against your own Search Console data
- AEO/GEO readiness audit — LLM-crawler access, structured data, citation potential
- A short written briefing on what to fix first, and what to ignore
Ava finds and ranks the problems; your specialist fixes them. Diagnosis without execution changes nothing, and execution without diagnosis usually fixes the wrong thing first.
Pairs with seo specialists — from $7/hr →Iris
Personalization Strategist
Iris finds the segments and pages worth treating differently, drafts the variants, and stages them for review. Nothing goes live without a person approving it.
- Fortnightly scan for segments and pages worth personalising
- Draft variants staged for review, never published automatically
- A written rationale for each one, so you can say no with reasons
- On-demand trigger when the Marketing Analyst flags an anomaly
Iris drafts and reasons; your email specialist owns the sending relationship, deliverability, and the final call on what actually goes out.
Pairs with email marketing specialists — from $7/hr →Nate
CRO Manager
Nate looks at where people abandon your funnel and proposes tests worth running. He tracks whatever is live, calls significance honestly, and keeps a roadmap of what to try next instead of a backlog of untested opinions.
- Weekly funnel review with drop-off steps identified
- A/B test proposals with a stated hypothesis and expected effect
- Significance monitoring, including calling the tests that will never reach it
- A running test roadmap and results log
Nate proposes and measures; your PPC specialist builds the variants and moves spend behind whatever wins. Neither half is worth much on its own.
Pairs with ppc specialists — from $8/hr →Mira
Marketing Analyst
Mira watches your acquisition channels every day and reports in plain language when something moves. She is built for the owner who wants to be told that Tuesday's traffic drop was one referrer going quiet — not handed a dashboard to interpret.
- Daily lightweight check across acquisition channels
- Anomaly detection on traffic and conversion, with the likely cause named
- Weekly performance digest written for a non-technical reader
- Content performance ranking — what earned attention and what did not
Mira surfaces the movement daily; your analyst investigates the ones that matter and builds the deeper models. You stop paying analyst hours for monitoring.
Pairs with data analysts — from $8/hr →Sol
Marketing Chief of Staff
Sol is the one that reads the other four. Each week it consolidates whatever your other teammates and specialists produced into a single briefing, so nobody has to open five reports to find out what happened.
- Weekly consolidated briefing across every active teammate and specialist
- Competitor monitoring on the handful of names you actually care about
- Meeting prep notes ahead of scheduled calls
- Follow-up reminders on decisions made but not yet actioned
Sol assembles the picture; your marketing VA acts on it. Sol earns its place once two or more other teammates are running — on its own there is less to consolidate.
Pairs with marketing virtual assistants — from $6/hr →Teammates are priced per engagement rather than listed here — scope drives the number, and a headline price beside a seat rate tells you nothing useful about your own workload.
⌬ When it needs building, not running
Forward Deployed Engineer — from $10/hr
A teammate runs a known job on a schedule. An FDE is the person who works out what the job even is, then writes the code across your systems to make it reliable in your stack — built in your own accounts, not hosted by us. That is the difference between configuring a workflow inside one tool and engineering across several.

AI-FLUENCY SCREENED AT STAGE 04Figures are industry research on AI-assisted knowledge work, not measurements of Zedtreeo placements — each one links to its source. Where a card shows no number, it is because we could not find a study that stood up to a check, and we would rather show nothing than a figure you cannot verify. What we commit to either way is the screening and the training — stage 04 of the 6-Stage Standard is the AI-tool fluency check.
Training reinforces what screening proves.
Beyond the screening standard, every Zedtreeo specialist participates in a structured, three-level AI curriculum. Training keeps the screening baseline sharp — but the screening itself is the gate, not the certification.

ROI of AI-augmented outsourcing.
Traditional outsourcing saves money. AI-augmented outsourcing saves money and multiplies output.
| Metric | Traditional Outsourcing | Zedtreeo AI-Augmented |
|---|---|---|
| Effective hourly cost | $8-15/hr | Starting from $1,056/month |
| Delivery speed | Baseline | 2-3× faster |
| Error rate | Industry standard | 40-60% fewer errors |
| Output volume (per person) | 1× | 2-3× |
| Cost per deliverable | Baseline | 50-70% lower |
| Time to productivity | 2-4 weeks onboarding | Under 1 week (AI-trained) |
| AI tool proficiency | Varies / self-taught | Certified across 40+ tools |
The bottom line: An AI-trained professional, starting from $1,056/month, from Zedtreeo consistently outperforms a $15/hour traditional hire on output volume, delivery speed, and error rates — while costing 70–85% less than an equivalent US-based employee.
AI-assisted does not mean AI-autonomous.
Specialists use AI for drafting, summarising, research, reporting, and task breakdowns — but human judgment applies before anything ships to a customer, stakeholder, or system of record.
Human-in-the-loop, always
AI drafts, humans approve. No AI-generated output goes to a customer, stakeholder, or system of record without a specialist reviewing it first.
Your data governance, not ours
We work within your rules on what can and cannot enter AI tools. If your policy restricts AI on PII, PHI, or proprietary data, our screening adapts to that boundary.
Flag uncertainty, don't fabricate
Specialists are trained to escalate ambiguity, request clarification, and never paper over AI output they can't verify. Silence-is-good-enough is not the standard.
Want staff who don't use AI tools at all?We can screen and match accordingly. If your workflow prohibits AI usage on certain data, we'll honour that boundary — the screening protocol adapts to your governance, not the other way around.
