Forget AI Replacing Jobs—OneDigital Talks to Forbes About Hiring AI Colleagues Instead

Inside OneDigital’s Game-Changing Approach to AI-Powered Digital Workers

OneDigital is making waves in the AI space, and Forbes has taken notice. In a recent article, “Your Next Co-Worker Is Going to Be a Robot — 3 Tips for Business Leaders,” OneDigital’s innovative approach to AI-powered digital workers was highlighted as a leading example of how companies can integrate AI into their workforce while maintaining a strong human-first culture.

The article spotlights the work led by Vinay Gidwaney, OneDigital’s Chief Product Officer, in developing a digital worker talent pool—a groundbreaking initiative that allows employees to "hire" AI-powered colleagues to support them in key business areas. With 10 digital workers already live and more in the pipeline, these AI-driven team members are designed to enhance productivity, streamline tasks, and empower OneDigital employees to focus on high-value, strategic work.

We chose the analogy of hiring a digital worker rather than using AI jargon because it is so much easier to understand and to classify what it is you need to help you in your work. Also, it fits with our culture of sales and service-oriented professionals.

What Makes OneDigital’s AI Strategy Stand Out?

• AI That Feels Familiar – Rather than overwhelming employees with technical jargon, OneDigital frames AI assistants as “digital workers” to align with the company’s service-driven culture.
• Real Impact, Real Adoption – In just one month, over 3,000 AI interactions were completed by a beta group of 200 OneDigital consultants.
• Expanding the Vision – With a strong early reception, OneDigital plans to scale AI-powered roles across sales, HR, back-office operations, and more.

As AI continues to reshape the workplace, OneDigital is leading the charge by ensuring technology enhances—not replaces—human collaboration. By giving HR and business leaders the tools to integrate AI in a way that preserves culture and prioritizes people, OneDigital is setting a new standard for AI adoption in the industry.
