Do you have an apprentice?
Demonstrate a repetitive job once. Apprentice turns it into a governed workflow, runs it only with human approval, and counts the hours it gives back.
Two options that both cost you.
Automation has offered two options, and both ask you to give something up. One is too dumb to trust. The other is too autonomous to trust.
Too brittle to trust
- Breaks silently when a screen changes
- No judgment — replays clicks blind
- You find out when the work comes back wrong
Too autonomous to trust
- Acts on its own, on live systems
- Trust on faith, not evidence
- The first surprise is the expensive one
Trained, not trusted blind
- Learns from a real demonstration
- Two human gates, every time
- Tracks the hours it gives back
You train it. It works under sign-off.
A worker demonstrates a repetitive task once. From then on, the workflow never runs on its own — two gates stand between a demonstration and a result that ships.
Why apprentice, not bot.
An apprentice doesn't ask for blind trust — an apprentice earns trust by doing the work in front of you, under your sign-off, until you're ready to give it more rope. That isn't a softer kind of automation. It's the kind a regulated team can actually adopt, because nothing the apprentice does is unwitnessed, and nothing ships without a human saying yes. Train, gate, review, trust — in that order.
The flagship agentic application for XSI-AIMS.
Apprentice is the first of XSI's agentic applications for XSI-AIMS — tools built for the virtual worker and governed by the standard, an open standard for governing autonomous AI agents. Because Apprentice registers through XSI-AIMS, every step it takes is witnessed and governed, and the humans who run it see and steer the work through one pane of glass, XSI Helm.
The Gap.
The governance came first, and it's built. The part that watches a demonstration and turns it into a workflow is still maturing, and we'd rather say that plainly than dress it up.
Apprentice removes the repetition, not the judgment. It isn't here to replace the worker — it's here to give the worker their afternoons back.
It's for the work you can show it. New problems still go to a person, which is exactly where they belong.
