WhatA hardware employee. Preloaded with 50+ finetuned ops workflows. Five duties running concurrently — customer leads, request triage, corporate email, ops data, and marketing/ads.
HowUnbox. Plug in power and ethernet. Connect your stack via OAuth. She runs on your desk, on-prem — your customer data, email, and records never leave the device.
WhyAn $85K ops hire is six months away. A SaaS agent wants your customer list in their cloud and $300/mo forever. Digiyee is $499 one-time — owned, not rented. She already knows the job.

The hire you can't
make — and the
subscription you
can't trust.

A senior ops generalist is six months and $85K away. The SaaS agent your VC friend recommended wants to train on your customer email. Meanwhile your leads cool, your inbox drowns, and your ads haven't been optimized in three weeks.

A hardware
employee.

Not a SaaS subscription. Not a chatbot. Digiyee is a device that sits on your desk and does the job of a senior ops generalist — preloaded with a library of real business workflows, plugged into your stack, logging every action on its own drive. One hire. One box. One bill.

Three steps.
No developers
required.

Unbox the device. Connect the stack. Approve her first actions. First audit digest hits your inbox at 7am on day 15 — every action she took overnight, ranked and reversible.

pp. 03
01 / 03 — UNBOX

Plug in the device.

Power and ethernet. The status ring turns orange. Digiyee runs a self-test, introduces herself, and asks three questions about your business — size, stack, tone.

This isn't a generic chatbot. Digiyee ships preloaded with the finetuned know-how of a senior ops generalist — the same person you've been trying to hire. Five duties, running in parallel, reviewable every morning.

Why she ships
in a box —
not a login.

SaaS agents are a six-week clone problem. Hardware plus preloaded workflows plus on-prem architecture is a three-to-five year moat. Three reasons the employee is a device.

pp. 05
01
Your data
stays yours.
On-prem by default. Emails, leads, CRM records, ops data — all live on the device. Not a shared cloud. Zero training on your data. Zero vendor lock-in. Paranoid is the default.
02
She knows her
job before
day one.
Digiyee ships preloaded with 50+ real ops playbooks — the same workflows a senior operator would take six months to write up. Not a blank chatbot. Pre-trained, pre-onboarded, productive Friday.
03
You own her,
you don't
rent her.
One device. One workflow license. Flat monthly. No per-seat creep, no per-resolution surprises, no renegotiation when you grow. Depreciate the hardware, own the employee.

Hardware-shaped.
Executes,
not just answers.

pp. 06–07

Six things a hardware ops employee does that a chatbot, an overnight VA, a SaaS agent, or a Zapier recipe each only partially deliver.

Preloaded Workflow Library

50+ finetuned ops playbooks shipped on the device — lead intake, invoice follow-up, support triage, ad launch, weekly pipeline summary. Productive Friday, not six weeks in.

Data Sovereignty

On-prem by architecture. Customer email, leads, CRM records, ops data — all stay on the device. No shared cloud tenant. No training on your data. No vendor lock.

Five Duties, One Hire

Leads, triage, email, ops data, and marketing/ads running concurrently on one device. Not one seat, not one integration, not one module — one employee doing five jobs.

Audit-logged, Approval-gated

Every action timestamped, reviewable, exportable, reversible. Configure which edge cases need a human — Digiyee handles the rest. Nothing happens in the dark.

Ownership Pricing

One-time device + flat monthly. No per-seat creep. No per-resolution surprises. No renegotiation when your revenue grows. Capex on the device, opex on the library.

Questions
real buyers
ask before
they hire a
device.

Real hardware. A desktop device with on-board inference silicon, local storage, and encrypted drives. Your email, leads, CRM records, and ops data live on the device — not in a shared cloud. The workflow library updates over the network; your data never uploads back.
1-year warranty standard, extendable to 3 years. Next-day replacement across continental US. Your customizations and audit logs back up to an encrypted cloud of your choice (or a local USB). A replacement device is productive within hours, not days.
It's not a prompt. It's a finetuned model weights + structured-action framework, written by real operators for 50+ common SMB jobs — lead intake, invoice follow-up, support triage, ad launch, pipeline summary, vendor onboarding. Day-one productive. A blank LLM would take weeks of prompting to match.
Yes — that's Duty #5. She writes ad copy variants against your messaging, launches A/B tests on Google Ads and Meta, monitors CAC and ROAS daily, kills losers and scales winners per your rules, and refreshes creative weekly. Every action logged and reversible.
Approval gates. You configure which actions need human review — refund above $X, email to a VIP, ad spend change over Y%, legal-tagged threads, conflict of interest. Digiyee drafts, queues, notifies, and waits. Every gate is logged.
Those are cloud SaaS agents — your data flows into their servers, you pay $300–2,500/month forever, and the model is shared across their customer base. Digiyee is on-prem hardware you buy once for $499 — your data stays on the device, there's no subscription, and the finetuning is yours to keep. A 12-month Artisan or 11x subscription costs 7–60× what one Digiyee costs. Forever.
End-to-end encryption, on-device. No PII leaves the device. SOC 2 Type II (in progress) for the management plane. HIPAA-ready configuration available. Legal-industry pack includes ABA Rule 5.3 supervised-assistant framing and state-by-state ethics opinion summaries.
Because the math is absurd. A mature SaaS stack for the same five jobs — AI SDR + AI support + AI email + analytics + ads manager — runs $3K–6K every month, none of it owned, all of it storing your data in someone else's cloud. Digiyee is $449 once. The SaaS stack costs more in its first week than the device costs forever.
No subscription, ever. One-time $499 at launch, $449 if you reserve now. No monthly fees, no per-seat charges, no per-resolution bills. The device is yours the day it arrives. Optional workflow add-on packs may be offered later (vertical-specific) but the base device and its 50+ preloaded workflows are fully functional for life with no recurring cost.
Reserve the device now for $449 and lock in $50 off the $499 launch price. Fully refundable — cancel your reservation anytime before the device ships. When the device is ready, we charge the balance and ship. After delivery, you have 30 days to return for a full refund if Digiyee doesn't pay for herself.
Yes. 30-day return window from delivery. If Digiyee doesn't pay for herself through captured work, leads answered, or email processed in the first month, ship the device back for a full refund. No questions, no restocking fee.
