Ema
Enterprise AI employee platform that deploys specialized agents across HR, finance, and operations.
Ema is an enterprise platform built around the idea of a Universal AI Employee, an agentic system that can take on many different roles inside an organization rather than serving a single function. Founded by former Google and Okta engineers, Ema is designed to morph into whatever a business needs, from customer support and employee experience to sales, data analysis, finance, and legal and compliance, working alongside human colleagues and completing tasks end to end instead of only answering questions.
Teams put Ema to work through a no-code platform. They can start from a library of pre-built AI employees for common roles, or create a specialized one by holding a guided conversation that defines the persona's goals, the resources it can use, and its constraints, a level of customization that previously required AI experts. Once configured, the agent can make decisions, build plans, and orchestrate workflows while collaborating with people at the right checkpoints.
Underneath sits Ema's Generative Workflow Engine, which is what makes the conversational setup work. Rather than following a hard-coded script, it interprets a request, decomposes it into smaller steps, and generates the workflow and orchestration to carry them out across multiple systems, adjusting as results come in. A customer inquiry, for instance, might be broken into reading the message, checking customer records, drafting a reply, routing it for approval, and sending it. Accuracy comes from a model layer the company calls EmaFusion, which blends many public language models with smaller domain-specific private models, and customers can plug in their own models trained on their data.
Ema is built to act inside the systems a company already runs, with pre-built connectors to hundreds of enterprise applications, an API, and the ability to read documents, logs, data, and policies for context and then take actions across tools like HR, ticketing, and collaboration platforms. Because it operates on sensitive enterprise data, it emphasizes governance: redacting sensitive information before it reaches public models, supporting on-premises and air-gapped deployment and private models, and carrying enterprise certifications including SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and GDPR.

In practice
You want to automate work across several departments, not just support. Ema's Universal AI Employee can take on roles from customer service to sales to finance, starting from pre-built templates or a specialized persona you define in conversation.
You need an agent that completes a multi-step task, not just replies. Ema's Generative Workflow Engine decomposes a request into steps, like checking records, drafting, routing for approval, and acting across your enterprise systems.
You operate on sensitive data and can't send it to public models freely. Ema redacts sensitive information before it reaches public LLMs, supports on-premises and air-gapped deployment, and carries certifications like SOC 2, HIPAA, and GDPR.

What is public
Ema (ema.ai - 'Universal AI Employee' enterprise agentic platform: deploy from a library of 50+ pre-built AI employees (customer service, sales/marketing, employee experience, custom) or build your own no-code via the Generative Workflow Engine; proprietary EmaFusion model blends 100+ LLMs; centralized agentic control plane; deploy in cloud/on-prem/air-gapped; Microsoft Azure partner) is custom/quote-based - usage-based subscription, no public figures.
Billing mechanics
Usage-based subscription (NOT seat-based) - priced on agent activity/work performed, varies with scale; sales-led, quote-based. No public figures.
Cost watchouts
Usage-based subscription scales with agent workload (model inference, orchestration steps, volume of work); implementation/integration + workflow redesign typical for enterprise agent deployments.
Variable cost rationale
Cost scales with agent activity/output (work performed) rather than seats.
Additional watchouts
Custom usage-based pricing only (no public figures); cost forecasting requires scoping agent workload with sales.
Overage / add-ons
Usage-based; non-seat model on recruiter page; SDR custom quote
