Hiring an AI Employee takes four short steps, and your agent does the technical part. You pick the role, tell your agent to install it, and answer a few questions. The next weekday morning, its first brief is waiting for you.
Pick one role
The work you are furthest behind on.
Tell your agent to install it
One sentence. It does the setup.
Answer a few questions
About ten minutes of your time.
Read your first brief
The next weekday morning.
Step 1: Pick your first hire
Hire one, not eight. Each one does real work on a schedule, and in the first week you check that work. Eight at once is eight first weeks at once.
So pick the role that covers the work you are furthest behind on right now.
Not sure? Start with the GTM Engineer. It finds the people who should hear about what you sell, drafts the outreach, and briefs you each morning. It has run my own club launch every weekday since August 27.
All eight are free and open source. You do not need a paid plan to run any of them.
Before you start
You need four things. Most people already have them.
| You need | Why |
|---|---|
| An agent app | I use Claude Code, the Code tab in the Claude Desktop app. Codex, OpenClaw, Grok Bot and the others work too. |
| A plan that covers it | The employee runs on your plan. On a Claude Max plan, one employee fits comfortably. |
| An empty folder | Anywhere except OneDrive, Dropbox or iCloud. Sync apps change files while the employee is using them. |
| A computer that is awake | The jobs run at set times. A sleeping laptop runs nothing. |
Check that you can run scheduled tasks on this computer, and tell me if anything is missing before I install an AI Employee.
