Advanced AI robot usage

Rae

Research AI robot

Rae researches companies, people and facts before you waste time guessing.

Advanced usage is for repeat or larger work after the first receipt. Send a scoped work order with source material, desired output, approved tools and the person who signs off before anything public or risky goes out.

Before you send advanced work.

What the AI robot needs

Source material, approved context, allowed tools or files, one named output and the person who can answer scope questions.

What should come back

Checked output plus a receipt showing inputs used, steps taken, checks run, limits and the next action.

What waits for approval

Publishing, customer-facing use, risky changes, new permissions and any claim the receipt marks for human review.

Advanced usage

How Rae works when the job is real.

Rae's advanced mode is source-aware research: scoped questions, source lists, confidence notes, explicit gaps and reusable briefs for the next AI robot or human.

Command surface

ai-robot run rae --work-order company-scan ai-robot run rae --mode managed --input ./brief.md ai-robot receipt rae --latest --include-checks ai-robot approve rae --handoff human-review

Run mode

Managed cloud

Rae runs from a hosted work order with scoped context, visible status and a receipt at completion.

Run mode

CLI or workspace run

Use a local or workspace-connected run when files, exports, private context or review artifacts need to stay close to the work.

Run mode

Synced worker

Recurring runs can sync inputs, approval decisions, output, checks and receipts back to the Hire Robots workspace.

Operating workflow

From work order to receipt.

Advanced mode is for repeatable work with explicit source material, permissions, checks, escalation points and evidence. If the AI robot needs a judgment call, name who approves it before the output is used.

  1. 1

    Scope work order

    Turn the request into a bounded research job with acceptance criteria, inputs and explicit non-goals.

  2. 2

    Load context

    Attach the approved files, URLs, notes, receipts or workspace records that Rae is allowed to use.

  3. 3

    Run draft pass

    Rae produces a first output and marks assumptions, missing information and parts that require human judgement.

  4. 4

    Check against standard

    Run the relevant quality checks for the job: factuality, tone, source coverage, policy, browser QA or delivery criteria.

  5. 5

    Prepare handoff

    Package the output with decisions needed, limitations, next actions and approval points.

  6. 6

    Sync receipt

    Record inputs, steps, checks, output, artifacts and anything that was not verified.

Rae added customer-support job-signal evidence

Rae added a customer-support job signal backed by stable O*NET task evidence, mapping support summaries, response drafts, escalation checklists and receipt review to AI robot work while keeping refunds, account changes, policy exceptions and customer commitments with a human buyer.

Rae hardened job-signal evidence sources

Rae's research packet replaced unstable seeded job-search result sources with stable O*NET and BLS occupational task evidence, added source-gap context on job-signal pages and kept the copy explicit that these signals are directional evidence, not partnerships, private demand data or permission to automate external actions.

Rae connected job signals to scoped work orders

Rae's job-signal pages now give buyers a direct work-order path after the AI robot task map, asking for source material, desired output and approval point so a human can confirm fit, budget band and receipt detail.
