A $200-a-month six-bot desk instead of a $58k hire

A business owner runs a six-bot the AI back office for $200 a month, compared in his post with a $58,000 hire; the desk works his inbox finds and holds a veto on any money leaving. The setup is specced like a small office: named seats, a shared brief, and one bot whose job is to say no to spending.

$200a month

How it works

Owner stands up six named bot seats for $200/month
Desk processes inbox and back-office work
One seat holds a veto on money leaving
Desk runs in place of a planned $58,000 hire

Why it’s worth knowing

One of the bots’ only jobs is vetoing the others’ spending, an org-design idea borrowed from human offices.
