AI Fellows
An AI Fellow is an AI teammate you usually talk to over voice. Each AI Fellow has its own name, voice, and area of focus, and is configured by your organization for a specific purpose: coaching, simulation, onboarding, customer practice, or answering questions about a topic.
What an AI Fellow can do
During a live conversation, an AI Fellow can:
- Hold a real-time, voice-led conversation.
- Take a typed conversation instead of voice, when the AI Fellow has that option turned on. See Type instead of talk.
- Answer questions using reference material your organization has uploaded for it.
- Analyze a file you send during the session and keep it in context for that conversation.
- Run a realistic simulation, such as a difficult customer, a skeptical executive, or a regulator asking pointed questions.
- Look at what is on your shared screen and comment on it.
- Send you text alongside the call when something is easier to read than to dictate.
- Collect information you provide during the call and pass it to one of your organization's systems, when that is part of how the AI Fellow has been set up.
- Open with an optional welcome screen if the team that set it up wants to brief you before the conversation starts.
What a specific AI Fellow can actually do depends on how it has been configured. Two AI Fellows in the same organization can have very different scopes.
What an AI Fellow is not
- It is not a human under a different label.
- It is not a search engine. Long, factual lookups are not its strength.
- It is not authorized to give legal, medical, financial, or compliance advice.
- It is not a substitute for human judgment in decisions that affect someone's employment, status, or rights.
If you have a high-stakes decision to make, treat what the AI Fellow says as input, and route the decision through whoever normally handles it at your organization.
How you reach an AI Fellow
There are two main ways:
| You opened | Account required |
|---|---|
| Your Fellow in the sidebar after signing in | Yes. The AI Fellow is assigned to you by your organization. |
| The AI Fellows entry in the sidebar | Yes. Opens Your AI Fellows & Simulations, the list of AI Fellows your organization has given you access to. Appears when you have access to one or more specific AI Fellows. |
| A public AI Fellow link sent to you outside Frontierz | No. The link opens directly into a conversation. See Public AI Fellow links. |
Some AI Fellows are private, meaning they need a Frontierz account and explicit access. If you opened a link that requires access and you do not have it, see When access is required.
