Run a one-person company with a team of AI agent departments that share a memory graph
A solo founder of five small SaaS products describes role-based AI agents (CEO, CFO, marketing, legal, accountant) that share one memory and run daily standups.
Evidence: The author reports this. We have not checked it beyond reading the source.
The business problem
A solo founder running several products was missing tax deadlines and leaving marketing posts unpublished because one person could not cover every function.
What was tried
The founder keeps a management repo with one agent definition file per role (CEO, CFO, COO, marketing, accountant, lawyer, CTO and an improver), plus a global instructions file and a sprint board. The agents share a persistent knowledge graph, through an MCP memory server, holding products, decisions, deadlines, metrics and lessons. A COO agent runs a daily standup: it checks error monitoring, overdue sprint tasks and fiscal deadlines, then delegates. Agents consult each other through trigger rules (marketing asks legal to review claims; finance asks the accountant to check tax), with a call-depth limit of three and no call-backs. The marketing agent drafts and schedules posts in the founder's voice. The improver reads logged mistakes and proposes changes to other agents, which the founder reviews as diffs.
What was reported (mixed)
After two months the author reports 84+ posts, 5 articles, zero missed tax and compliance deadlines, under an hour a week on marketing and about 40 hours of setup. Revenue was 6.09 euros from one subscriber, and hosting cost about 42 euros a month.
Limitations
Self-reported by the founder, who promotes his own products in the post. Revenue is tiny, so it shows the operating routine works, not that it makes money. Safeguards such as stopping the improver editing legal or financial rules were mostly human review, not enforced. Shared-memory file corruption and hallucinated compliance errors were reported. Tax rules are specific to Portugal. Year of posting is not shown on the page.
