AI Labor Glossary
The canonical reference for AI labor terminology — 81 terms covering roles, architecture, pricing, and compliance. Every entry includes a definition, a plain-English explanation, a real-world example, and FAQs written for the buyer rather than the engineer.
Terms like AI Employee, Agentic Workflow, Approval Gate, and RAG are the vocabulary of autonomous AI at work. Understanding them is the difference between a tool that does what you say once and an employee that does what you mean, reliably, while you sleep.
