Are “AI employees” actually being used in real workflows yet?

I’ve been seeing more discussions around AI systems that can handle ongoing tasks, not just single prompts, but actually manage parts of workflows or operations.

In theory, it sounds like a step beyond traditional automation, but I’m curious how far this has actually been adopted in practice.

Is anyone here using AI in a way that resembles this, where it’s consistently handling multi-step tasks or ongoing processes?

Or is it still mostly limited to assisted workflows rather than true autonomy?

Would be interesting to hear real use cases (or limitations).
