Solo operator ran his whole business on 14 the AI scheduled tasks for 30 days
A Japanese solo operator's measured 30-day log (Sept 10-Oct 10, 2026): 14 the AI scheduled tasks ran his sales outreach, publishing and bookkeeping: collecting job postings every morning, patrolling for new postings hourly, watching email every 30 minutes, drafting proposals (255 drafted; 3 replies; 2 contracts totaling 8,500 yen; product sales 0 yen), posting nightly note articles and five daily Shorts slots, and restarting stalled tasks. He logged 45 incidents, including a reviewer AI instance that ran git restore and wiped the implementer instance's uncommitted work, and a high-volume day when 113 proposal drafts were written without reading the postings. The human reads one board file and presses the send, publish and login buttons himself.
How it works
- Define 14 scheduled tasks, one instruction sheet each
- Morning collection of all job postings, hourly new-posting patrol, 30-minute email watch
- Proposals drafted to a board for the human to send
- Nightly articles and video posts
- Daily report and income/expense board
- Incident log kept (3,151 lines over 30 days)
Why it’s worth knowing
A whole one-person business ran on scheduled agent tasks for 30 days, and the log counts the failures as carefully as the wins: 45 incidents, 255 drafts, 2 small contracts.
