# Build your AI workforce with Odella
Odella helps teams hire, onboard, and manage **AI Employees**: workplace-ready workers that follow your processes, connect to your tools, and complete routine tasks with human oversight.
Use these docs to understand the main parts of Odella, set up your first workspace, and start building reliable work systems for your team.
## What Odella is for
Odella is designed for operational work that is important, repeatable, and often spread across documents, tools, messages, and internal knowledge.
Build or hire specialized workers for roles such as operations, finance, legal, compliance, research, and administration.
Define each worker's role, tools, knowledge, workflows, and working hours so they know what work to perform.
Use visual workflows to turn repeatable business processes into clear steps that can be run, reviewed, and improved.
Turn existing PDF and DOCX precedents into reusable templates that workers can populate with structured information.
## How the product is organized
Odella is structured around the way teams already work.
Your home for AI Employees. Create workers, review their roles, connect their capabilities, and monitor their work history.
The process layer. Build reusable workflows that read information, transform data, make decisions, draft outputs, and hand work back to your team.
The document layer. Create reusable document templates so recurring drafts, forms, reports, and letters can be produced consistently.
The knowledge layer. Store reference material, research, files, and private vaults that workers can use when completing tasks.
The connection layer. Link Odella to the business tools your team already uses so work can happen where your information lives.
## A recommended first path
If you are new to Odella, start here:
Set up your account, understand the dashboard, and learn the fastest path to your first useful worker.
Learn how workers are created, onboarded, connected to capabilities, and managed over time.
Understand how workflows turn your team's repeatable processes into reliable, reviewable work systems.
Review the controls, model settings, and integrations that govern how work happens inside your organization.
## Human-managed by design
Odella is built to help teams increase capacity without removing human judgment. AI Employees are assigned responsibilities, but your team remains in control of what they can access, what workflows they run, and how their outputs are reviewed.
The best Odella implementations start with one clear repeatable process, define the expected outcome, then expand workers' responsibilities as the workflow proves reliable.
