Glossary · Fractional AI Worker

Fractional AI Worker

A fractional AI worker is an AI agent engaged for part of a role’s workload rather than a full-time equivalent, scaling up or down with demand.

Because agents scale by usage, a buyer can pay for a fraction of a role’s output, which suits variable or seasonal workloads.

Pricing per outcome makes fractional engagement natural: cost tracks the share of work the agent actually does.
