Getting started
Sanaf is the AI employee every workspace starts with. It runs a team of agents, one per job, and brings you one answer. You give it a job in plain words, connect the apps that job needs, and decide what it may do without asking. Everything below takes about twenty minutes and nothing here needs a card.

Before you start
You need an account on employees.sanafai.com and, if you want the work happening where your team already talks, permission to install an app into your Slack or Microsoft Teams workspace. Everything else can wait.
Signing up gives you $120 of credit to use in your first 30 days, and no card is required. That is enough for hundreds of real requests, which is deliberate: you should be able to decide whether this works before you decide whether to pay for it.
The four steps
The order matters. A job with no connected apps can only draft; a connected app with no approval rules is a hire you have to watch. Do all four before you judge it.
- 1
Hire it
Create the workspace and Sanaf is already there, as its Chief of Staff. You can keep the name or change it. Other jobs get agents of their own later, and Sanaf hands each one its work.
- 2
Give it a job
Pick one of the thirty five written job descriptions or write your own. A job says what it owns, what done looks like, and what it should never touch. Keep the first one small enough that you can tell whether it worked.
- 3
Connect the apps that job needs
Connect only what the job needs. A connection is scoped to the job and can be revoked on its own, so start with one and add the second when the first is clearly working.
- 4
Answer its first approvals
Sanaf asks before anything it cannot undo, such as sending, booking, paying or deleting, until you tell it otherwise. Each ask is a card where the work is happening. Say yes once, yes for the rest of the conversation, or always, one kind of action at a time.
The first week
Let it ask. For the first few days it drafts, you review, and you allow a kind of action only once you have seen it done well a few times. That is not a trial restriction, it is the same thing you would do with a person.
Read the work log rather than watching the thread. It records what was asked, what it did, what it asked you about, and what it decided not to touch. If something looks wrong, correcting it there teaches it, and the correction is versioned.
