An org chart for 21 AI staff — four departments for a solo founder
Summary in three lines
- A solo founder works with 21 AI staff organized into four departments: planning, production, review and operations.
- A chatbot only answers when asked, while an AI worker, or agent, takes a goal, plans on its own and uses tools to finish the job.
- Nearly half of the 21 handle daily routines such as collecting news, checking inventory and sending reports with no human involved.
What we learned
- Do not use expensive models for everyone. Send hard judgment calls to advanced models and simple repetition to cheap ones, which cut costs several times over.
- Separate the AI that creates from the AI that checks. Like people missing their own typos, AI rarely catches its own mistakes.
FAQ
How is an AI worker different from a chatbot?

Why split AI staff into departments?
Quality dropped when one AI did writing, images and video together. A director AI that breaks goals down and assigns them improved the results.
