Run my whole company on scheduled agent shifts

A digital-health CEO reports his businesses have no full-time developers, DevOps, designers, analysts or product manager: scheduled AI agent shifts handle deploys, an agent-built CRM, per-business-line email sorting, meeting scheduling, technical support and publishing news four times a day. The work runs on three $200 AI subscriptions — $600 a month against roughly $38,500 a month at US median pay for the replaced roles.

How it works

  1. Give each business line its own scheduled agent shift on separate servers
  2. Agents deploy releases to all projects
  3. Agents work inside a CRM they built from scratch
  4. Mail agent sorts each line's mailbox hourly
  5. Agents schedule meetings and answer technical support
  6. Content agents publish news four times a day and scan open-source releases three times a day
  7. A fresh agent screenshot-checks each new game build overnight

Why it’s worth knowing

An entire company's engineering, support and publishing runs on clock-scheduled agent shifts for $600 a month.
