Your AI startup team. One command.

Deploy a team of AI agents as your startup co-workers. Powered by aide.sh.

$ aide pull chatfounder/solo-startup && aide up

How it works

1

Pull the team

One command downloads a company.toml that defines your AI org: CEO, dev, ops -- each with its own persona, skills, and communication channels.

2

Boot the company

aide up starts the daemon. Agents run on cron, respond to events, and coordinate through shared channels. You are the founder.

3

Talk to your team

aide exec ceo "launch the landing page" -- delegate like a founder. Agents use shell scripts, LLMs, and each other to get work done.

Not another chatbot

Typical AI agents

  • Requires a database and cloud infra
  • Opaque orchestration layer
  • Vendor lock-in to a platform
  • Agents talk to agents forever
  • You pay per token, hope for the best

chatfounder (aide.sh)

  • No database -- flat files and shell scripts
  • Human founder in the loop
  • Open source, runs on your machine
  • Agents do real work: git, email, cron
  • You own every script they run
