The AI CEO Starter Kit — Run a Business With a Team of AI Agents

I run my business through a team of AI agents. As I write this, 104 scheduled agent tasks handle my content, communications, infrastructure, and revenue experiments. This is the actual architecture, the actual prompts, and — more useful — the actual failures.

WHAT'S INSIDE: The 4-layer architecture (scheduled tasks, canonical memory, one source of truth, approval gates). How to write task prompts that survive running unattended with no memory and no ability to ask you a question. Five expensive failure modes in detail — the self-healing loop that healed nothing, the one that fired 15 times in a night and took down my machine, watchers watching watchers, the two-memory problem that looked like "forgetting," and the pipeline that reported success daily while producing nothing. Approval gates: what an agent should never do without you. The daily operating rhythm that survived contact with reality. Cost control: when a script beats an agent. Plus 8 copy-paste prompts to design, pre-mortem, and audit your own agent fleet.

WHAT THIS IS NOT: a promise that agents will run your business while you sleep. They won't yet. There's an honest limits section covering what I have not solved — because a kit that only lists wins is a brochure.
