I have been building for the web for 27 years. Domains, blogs, client sites, then my own products. It paid well and it never stopped needing me. Every good month was a month I had personally worked. Four years ago I started building AI agents for my own operation instead of for clients. The first ones were toys. The ones that stuck were boring: a routine that researches and publishes a post every morning, a routine that watches a portfolio of domains overnight, a routine that drafts and stages the week of social posts before I wake up. That is where the phrase AI employee came from for me. Not a chatbot. Not a copilot sitting beside me while I work. A role, with a job description, a schedule, a standard it is held to, and a boundary it does not cross without me. The set is eight roles now, covering publishing, SEO, growth, outreach and support across my products. Along the way I founded Vibe Coding is Life, a Facebook group that has grown past 335,000 builders, and sold over $1M in web and AI solutions. Agent Ops Club came out of all of it. I put the AI employees on GitHub under MIT, wrote down how they get installed and supervised, and run live sessions where members watch a system get built instead of hearing a talk about one. I am still a founder running products, not a coach who stopped shipping. That order matters to me. Nothing goes into the Club that has not had to survive a Monday in my own business.
