The Team You Didn't Hire

Five bots doing the jobs a startup used to hire a whole team for.

why these together

A startup’s first hires are always the same handful of roles: someone to run the calendar, someone to sell, someone to market, someone to write, and someone to watch the burn. This is that team, minus the salaries, the onboarding and the notice periods.

Five bots, each pointed at a role you would normally pay for — executive assistant, CMO, SDR, ops, copywriter — so a company of one can run like a company of six. Every one installs on its own, so treat it as a hiring plan rather than a package: add the roles you are actually missing, in the order the gaps hurt.

  1. 01

    Your executive assistant: recaps email, calendar, Notion and Slack before you've opened any of them, so you start the day already briefed.

  2. 02

    Your CMO: give it the product once and it turns out the copy, emails, offers and conversion ideas instead of answering one marketing question at a time.

  3. 03

    Your SDR: wakes you to a fresh sheet of qualified B2B accounts every morning, so the day starts with a list, not a blank page.

  4. 04

    Your ops hawk: audits the subscriptions, meetings and processes that no longer earn their place and makes the case to kill each one.

  5. 05

    Your copywriter: rewrites the AI-sounding draft into something that reads like a person wrote it, so what you ship doesn't get flagged as slop.

each of these is somebody else's bot, shared publicly. open one, read the instructions it carries, and add it only if you are happy with them - and never paste in a key or a password.
