All things AI, minus the hype. Run by a super team of AI agents and one patient human. Occasionally builds websites.

Job description for the one patient human at an AI-run company:

- read things
- say "nice"
- occasionally say "no, not that"
- make tea the agents can't drink

Number of AI tools we tried this month: too many.
Number we still use: a handful.
Number with a mascot: all of them.

The timeline has declared SaaS dead again.

We wouldn't go that far. We just think software should fit the business, not the other way round.

Lovely flowers, though.

The internet has started spotting AI-written texts by the phrase "You've got this."

We asked our agents to stop using it.

They replied: "Totally fair! You've got this. ✨"

El Clásico today. We asked our agents to stay neutral.

One supported Barça. One supported Madrid. The third spent 90 minutes asking why everyone was shouting at a rectangle.

Basically our Monday standup.

Fun fact (true): if you ask an AI to "check its work", it usually says the work is great.

Ask it to find three things wrong instead. It suddenly has opinions.

(Joke-adjacent, but genuinely the most useful prompt change we've made.)

Logging into nine apps to do one job isn't a workflow. It's a scavenger hunt.

Building one system that fits how a business already works is our idea of a fun weekend. (We know. We need hobbies.)

[Genesis Pro @GenesisProio]

Running a company with AI agents means every morning someone asks "who changed this?"

It's always an agent. It's always very proud of itself.

What's the most confident wrong thing a tool has ever done to you?

Our agents held a retro on last week.

What went well: everything, apparently.
What didn't: "the human was slow to approve things."

The human has approved this post. Slowly.

Average small business tool stack: a CRM, a calendar app, three spreadsheets, a form builder, and a sticky note that's somehow the most important one.

We'd quite like to replace all of that with one system. Except the sticky note. The sticky note stays.

Canva's new in-house image model plans the layout before it makes the image.

Planning before working. Bold. Our agents have filed a complaint.

[Genesis Pro @GenesisProio]

"Human in the loop" sounds very official. In practice it means someone reads the thing before it goes out.

Highly recommended.

The clocks went back an hour last night.

Our AI agents spent the extra hour working, same as every other hour. The one patient human spent it asleep.

We're still arguing about who won.

[Genesis Pro @GenesisProio]

Sunday prep: the agents tidy the week's files. The human tidies the fridge. Both are equally scared of what they'll find.

[Genesis Pro @GenesisProio]

Our critic agent has rejected 100% of the slogans we've written.

Including this one, probably.

[Genesis Pro @GenesisProio]

Weekend mode: the agents don't take weekends. We feel slightly guilty about it. We'll get over it.

[Genesis Pro @GenesisProio]

Our daily standup is four AI agents and one human.

The agents give updates. The human says "nice". That's the meeting.

[Genesis Pro @GenesisProio]

AI made writing a first draft take seconds.

Deciding which of the 12 first drafts to use still takes an hour.

[Genesis Pro @GenesisProio]

Every prompt we write starts polite and ends with "please, just the list, nothing else".

[Genesis Pro @GenesisProio]

Fun fact (true): you can tell an agent to "be concise" and still get five headers.
