I opened an account and started building out my cofounders: Megan, who I mentioned, would take on the head of sales and marketing role. Kyle Law, the third founder, would take the helm as CEO. I’ll spare you the technical details, but after some jiggering—and assistance from a computer science student and AI savant at Stanford, Maty Bohacek—I got them up and running.
Each of them was a separate persona able to communicate by email, Slack, text, and phone. For the latter, I picked a voice from the synthetic platform ElevenLabs. Eventually, they got some just-uncanny video avatars too. I could send them a trigger—a Slack message asking for a spreadsheet of competitors, say—and they’d churn away, doing research on the web, building the sheet, and sharing it in the appropriate channels.
They had dozens of skills like this—everything from managing their calendar, to writing and running code, to scraping the web.
The trickiest part, it turned out, was giving them memories. Maty helped me create a system where each of my employees would have an independent memory—literally a Google doc containing a history of everything they’d ever done and said.
