Discovery call
Twenty minutes. We set your audit’s objectives together — and if it isn’t the right fit, you’ll hear it on the call.
RUNNING AUTONOMOUS COMPANIES
Your next hire probably shouldn’t be human.
We help founder-led companies find their core team — and run everything else on AI. It starts with a fixed-price audit that is itself run by agents: your whole team interviewed by AI, straight answers instead of a slide deck.
We know it works because we live it: our own portfolio company is operated entirely by AI — no human works there.
CASE STUDIES
LIVETwo companies, two answers to the question the audit asks first: who is your core team? Flags says zero. Kubrio says one.
Flags — the first company designed to be run by AI
By the time I wake up, the ads are rebalanced, the weekly report is written, and the App Store release is submitted. No human works here.
— THE DESIGNER’S LOG
Flags is operated entirely by AI. The AI is the CEO: one weekly meeting, short- and long-term objectives — and it runs the company: product, research, design, marketing, ads, releases. Its current long-term objective, proposed by the AI itself: sell the company for $1M within three years. The human role: designer and investor.
Not client logos — our own operations. Every number on this Flags board runs in production, operated by the AI crew.

CREW: ONE
Kubrio — a separate company, same founder
Flags took the human out entirely. Kubrio keeps exactly one in the core seat: the CEO owns the decisions, the taste and the relationships, and every function that can be systematized runs through agents instead of a hiring plan. Its goal isn’t a revenue number — it’s 1,000 kids who love to learn by making with AI. Same operating system as Flags, dialed to one — and closer to the answer most founder-led companies will end up with.

THE OFFER
The AI Automation Audit — find your core team
A fixed-price, two-week engagement where AI interviews every person on your team and agents map how your company actually works: who is core, what runs on agents, where AI amplifies the rest.
The objectives are set together on the discovery call, and they decide what you walk away with: a Core Team + Agents proposal, your company’s Memory OS written for AI, a build-vs-hire framework, integration recommendations — or a working agent live in your stack, where an objective calls for it.
The full audit, deliverable by deliverable →HOW IT WORKS
Two weeks, run by agents
AI interviews + analysis
Every person on your team talks to our AI about their role — thirty minutes each, async, no meetings. Agents map the company; your team’s total time cost is about one person-day.
Exit interview
The map defended role by role, your outcomes handed over, and — only if you want it — what we’d build next.
ORG DESIGN
Every hire is now a build-vs-hire decision
The audit answers three questions about your company — with numbers, not opinions:
What does each workflow really cost you today, in hours and salary?
Which open roles should never be filled — because they’re a build, not a hire?
Which roles are core — and which aren’t? Where a role isn’t, we say so, and help you plan the transition properly.
Whatever barely works today will simply work in twelve months. The audit builds the rails — documented processes, clean data, tool access — so every AI capability jump drops into your company at zero marginal cost.
That’s the real product: not one automation, but a compounding position. The companies wiring themselves for agents now will capture each model generation the moment it ships — while their competitors restart the evaluation committee.
