📖 Reading time: 4 minutes
📖 In one sentence: Digital Employees are YingCore's execution units — each one packages a role, skills, tools, and human-AI collaboration into a schedulable virtual employee. Accessible from the top nav “数字员工 / Digital Employees” (route
/skill-market) for all roles.
Capabilities
- Role definition: Name, avatar, persona for each digital employee (e.g., "Senior Support Xiaoyou", "Data Analyst Ayan").
- Skill assembly: Pick skills from the marketplace or custom workflows and attach them to a digital employee.
- Tool use: Built-in tools for HTTP APIs, databases, file operations, knowledge base retrieval, and graph query.
- Multi-channel access: One digital employee can be live on web, app, WeChat, WeCom, Feishu, email, phone, and API simultaneously.
- Human-AI collaboration: Low-confidence responses auto-escalate to a human, with full context preserved. The human can hand control back in one click.
- Memory and persona: Cross-session user memory and long-term personas that update with every interaction.
- Monitoring and evaluation: Every conversation has quality scores, satisfaction, and cost data. Manual sampling and batch evaluation supported.
- Role orchestration: Combine multiple digital employees into "departments" (e.g., Support, Marketing) for unified scheduling.
Typical Scenarios
- 24/7 customer service: E-commerce "Support Xiaoyou" handles 80% of frequent questions; complex ones go to a human. Response time drops from 5 minutes to 8 seconds.
- Sales SDR: A digital employee auto-follows new leads on WeCom, sends materials, and books meetings. Conversion rate up 35%.
- Data analyst: User asks "Top 10 best-selling items last month"—the digital employee queries the database and generates charts.
- Multi-role collaboration: The Marketing Department is a pipeline of three digital employees: "Planner Xiaolan", "Copywriter Xiaolv", "Media Buyer Xiaozi".
