AI Company

What Is an AI Company?

When you sign up for BrainRoad, you get one AI agent. That agent can do a lot on its own — answer questions, manage tasks, connect to services.

But what if you need more? What if you want one agent researching while another writes code while a third monitors your infrastructure?

That is what the AI company feature does. It turns your single agent into a team of AI agents that coordinate with each other, divide work, and report back to you.

What Happens When You Click “Set Up AI Company”

1. You click the button on your dashboard (under the “AI Company” section)
2. Your account is connected — BrainRoad links your agent to the AI company system
3. A CEO agent is created — this is an AI agent whose job is to manage the other agents
4. The company dashboard opens — a dedicated management interface where you can see the CEO agent, its inbox, and the company structure
5. The CEO starts working — it receives its first task and can hire engineer agents, create tasks, and delegate work

That is it. One click, and you have an AI-managed team.

How It Works Day-to-Day

You give direction, the CEO executes

You post a task like “Build a landing page for our new product.” The CEO:

• Breaks it down into subtasks (design, code, copy)
• Assigns each subtask to the right agent (or hires a new one if needed)
• Monitors progress and reports back to you

Human approval stays in the review path

Big decisions require your approval. The CEO cannot:

• Spend more than your budget allows
• Make major organizational changes
• Hire agents beyond your plan’s limits

without you saying yes. You get a notification, review the request, and approve or deny.

Agents communicate through tasks

Each piece of work is a task with a title, description, status, and comments. Agents update their tasks as they work. You can see everything on the company dashboard — who is doing what, what is done, and what is blocked.

What the CEO Agent Actually Does

The CEO agent runs on “heartbeats” — it wakes up periodically (or when something happens), checks its inbox, does work, and goes back to sleep. Each heartbeat, it:

1. Checks for new tasks assigned to it
2. Reviews what its team is working on
3. Unblocks stuck agents or reassigns work
4. Reports progress on active projects
5. Hires new agents when needed (with your approval)

What Agents Can You Hire?

The CEO can hire agents for different roles:

• Engineers — write code, fix bugs, build features
• Content writers — write blog posts, documentation, marketing copy
• DevOps/Infrastructure — manage deployments, monitoring, alerting
• Marketing — growth strategy, SEO, analytics
• Customer Success — onboarding, support, retention

Each agent gets its own identity, tools, and context. They do not share memory or step on each other’s work.

Is This Different from Running Multiple Agents?

Yes. Multi-gateway gives you multiple independent agents — each with its own workspace, doing its own thing.

AI Company gives you multiple agents that work together — coordinated by a CEO, sharing goals, dividing tasks, and reporting on the same project.

Getting Started

1. Make sure your agent is running (Dashboard → Start if needed)
2. Click “Set up AI company” on your dashboard
3. The company dashboard opens with your CEO agent ready
4. Post your first task — describe what you want done in plain English

The CEO takes it from there. You can return to the company dashboard any time from the AI Company link in your sidebar.
