Private pilot · 3–4 early businesses

Your own AI operator, personally managed for your business.

You message what you want done. I set up the agent, turn requests into tracked work, and keep improving it around how your business actually runs.

Draft private prototype only. Not publicly launched.

What an operator handles

Real business work, not generic AI demos.

The operator is shaped around the kind of work your business actually has each week — not a chat box and a list of features to learn.

Inbox & replies

Triage incoming messages, draft replies in your voice, hold sends for approval.

Follow-ups

Quote chasing, customer check-ins, scheduled nudges — without anyone forgetting.

Admin & tracking

Updates logged, requests captured as tasks, weekly summaries put in your hand.

Research & drafts

Reports, briefs, proposals, quick research — formatted the way you actually use them.

Operating lanes

Pick a narrow lane first. Prove useful work. Then widen.

Pilots start in one lane that's clearly worth handing over. We add lanes once the first is producing useful, trusted, repeatable work.

Quote & sales follow-ups

The operator chases quotes, schedules check-ins, drafts replies in your voice, and holds external sends until you approve.

Common first lane

Inbox triage & drafts

Incoming messages sorted, key threads summarised, drafts prepared in your tone. You decide what gets sent.

High-leverage lane

Tracked request queue

Requests captured in Linear, prioritised, managed, and visible — instead of disappearing into chat threads.

Always-on lane
How it works

Five steps from "I'd like AI to handle this" to "it's handled, weekly".

Each step stacks on the last — scroll through to see how a request becomes tracked work and, over time, a sharper workflow around your business.

01

Map your business

We identify the recurring tasks, requests, decisions, documents, customer messages, and admin that are worth giving to the operator first.

You message what you need

You don't need to learn AI. Brief the operator like a capable assistant — by message, in your words. I manage what happens after that.

Work tracked in Linear

Requests and improvements become tracked tasks — prioritised, managed, delivered, and visible. Nothing disappears into a chat thread.

The operator improves weekly

Repeated useful work becomes sharper workflows over time. Managed, not abandoned after setup — the operator compounds around your business.

Week 1 · 14 requests handled
Week 4 · 38 requests handled
Week 12 · 6 workflows compounded
Why this exists

Most businesses don't need more AI tools. They need someone to make AI useful.

My Own Agent is for owners who know there's work an AI operator could help with — but don't want to configure prompts, integrations, usage limits, or task systems themselves.

Private pilot

A managed pilot before a full retainer.

For 3–4 early businesses that want an AI operator built around real work, not generic AI demos.

Pilot pricing after discovery call

Start with one lane. Prove it. Widen from there.

The first step is a focused discovery call and pilot scope. If there's a fit, we agree the first operating lane, request queue, approval rules, and success measures — then I build it.

FAQ

Honest answers, before you apply.

Do I need to understand AI?

No. You message what you want done — I manage the system, the accounts, the instructions, and the improvement work.

Is it unlimited?

It's designed for normal business use without you worrying about tokens or technical limits. Larger or brand-new workflows are scoped and tracked properly.

Who controls it?

I manage the agent setup and improvement process. You stay in control of approvals and business decisions — sensitive actions are always paused for you.

How are requests handled?

Requests and improvements become tracked tasks in Linear — prioritised, delivered through a managed workflow, and visible instead of disappearing into chat.

Is this a self-serve SaaS?

No. This is a personally managed operator service for businesses that want outcomes without running the AI stack themselves.

Can it take actions for us?

Only with the right approval. The pilot is designed to keep sensitive actions controlled, visible, and reversible where possible.
