Spin up an AI agent company - a business run by AI agents, managed by you

Agent Company AI

Spin up an AI agent company - a business run by AI agents, managed by you.

Agent Company AI lets a solo entrepreneur create a virtual company staffed entirely by AI agents. Each agent has a specific business role (CEO, CTO, Developer, Marketer, etc.), they collaborate on tasks, and you manage everything through a CLI or web dashboard.

Quick Start

pip install agent-company-ai

1. Initialize your company

agent-company-ai init --name "My AI Startup"

You'll be prompted to choose an LLM provider (Anthropic, OpenAI, DeepSeek, Ollama, and more).

2. One-command setup

Spin up a full team from a preset template:

agent-company-ai setup tech_startup --name "Acme AI"
agent-company-ai setup saas --name "CloudCo" --provider anthropic
agent-company-ai setup --list  # see all presets

Available presets: tech_startup (6 agents), agency (6), ecommerce (7), saas (9), consulting (6), content (5), full (10 — all departments)

3. Or hire agents individually

agent-company-ai hire ceo --name Alice
agent-company-ai hire cto --name Bob
agent-company-ai hire developer --name Carol
agent-company-ai hire marketer --name Dave

4. Define your business model

Tell your agents how the company makes money:

agent-company-ai profit-engine setup --template saas

This injects your business DNA into every agent's decision-making. See ProfitEngine below.

5. Run autonomously

Give the CEO a goal and watch the company run:

agent-company-ai run "Build a landing page for our new product"

The CEO will break down the goal, delegate tasks to the team, and agents will collaborate to deliver results.

# With limits
agent-company-ai run "Launch MVP" --cycles 3 --timeout 600 --max-tasks 20

ProfitEngine — Business DNA

ProfitEngine lets you define your company's business model — how it earns money, who it serves, and what matters most. This "business DNA" is injected into every agent's system prompt and into the CEO's goal loop, so all decisions align with your business model.

Setup

Start from a preset template or from scratch:

# Interactive wizard with a preset
agent-company-ai profit-engine setup --template saas

# Fully interactive — choose a template then customize each field
agent-company-ai profit-engine setup

The wizard walks you through 8 fields:

Field	What it defines
Mission	The company's core purpose
Revenue Streams	How the company makes money
Target Customers	Who the ideal customers are
Pricing Model	How products/services are priced
Competitive Edge	What sets the company apart
Key Metrics	What metrics define success
Cost Priorities	Where money should be spent first
Additional Context	Any other business context

Templates

6 preset templates to start from:

Template	Business Model
saas	SaaS (Software as a Service) — recurring subscriptions
ecommerce	E-Commerce — online retail
marketplace	Marketplace / Platform — transaction fees
agency	Agency / Services — project and retainer fees
consulting	Consulting — advisory and engagement fees
content	Content / Media — ads, subscriptions, licensing

agent-company-ai profit-engine templates  # list all templates

Commands

Command	Description
profit-engine setup	Interactive wizard to configure business DNA
profit-engine show	Display current DNA
profit-engine edit <field>	Edit a single field
profit-engine templates	List available preset templates
profit-engine disable	Disable DNA injection (config preserved)

How it works

Once configured, the business DNA is automatically:

• Appended to every agent's system prompt — so developers, marketers, sales, and support all understand the business model
• Injected into the CEO's planning and review tasks — so autonomous mode goals are planned and evaluated through the lens of your business model

The DNA is stored in config.yaml under the profit_engine key. No new database tables — just config.

# .agent-company-ai/default/config.yaml
profit_engine:
  enabled: true
  mission: "Build and scale a SaaS product..."
  revenue_streams: "Monthly/annual subscriptions..."
  target_customers: "SMB to enterprise..."
  pricing_model: "Tiered subscription pricing..."
  competitive_edge: "Product-led growth..."
  key_metrics: "MRR/ARR, churn rate, LTV:CAC..."
  cost_priorities: "Engineering first..."
  additional_context: ""

Dashboard API

Endpoint	Description
GET /api/profit-engine	Return current ProfitEngine config
POST /api/profit-engine	Update fields and save to config
GET /api/profit-engine/templates	List all templates with content

Blockchain Wallet

Built-in Ethereum wallet with multi-chain support. Agents can request payments (with human approval), and you can send tokens directly from the CLI.

Setup

agent-company-ai wallet create

Creates an encrypted keystore (password-protected). One address works across all supported chains.

Supported Chains

Chain	Native Token
Ethereum	ETH
Base	ETH
Arbitrum	ETH
Polygon	MATIC

Commands

Command	Description
wallet create	Generate a new wallet with encrypted keystore
wallet address	Show the company wallet address
wallet balance	Show balances across all chains
wallet balance --chain base	Show balance on a specific chain
wallet send <amount> --to <addr> --chain <chain>	Send native tokens (requires password)
wallet payments	Show the payment approval queue
wallet approve <id>	Approve and send a pending payment
wallet reject <id>	Reject a pending payment

Agent Payments

Agents with wallet tools (check_balance, get_wallet_address, list_payments, request_payment) can request payments during task execution. All payment requests go into an approval queue — nothing is sent without your explicit approval.

# Check pending payments
agent-company-ai wallet payments --status pending

# Approve a payment
agent-company-ai wallet approve abc123

# Reject a payment
agent-company-ai wallet reject abc123

Dashboard API

Endpoint	Description
GET /api/wallet/balance	Balances (optional ?chain= filter)
GET /api/wallet/address	Wallet address
GET /api/wallet/payments	Payment queue (optional ?status= filter)

Multi-Company Support

Run multiple independent companies in the same directory. Each company gets its own config, database, and agents:

# Default company
agent-company-ai init --name "Acme AI"
agent-company-ai hire ceo --name Alice

# Create a second company
agent-company-ai -C my-startup init --name "My Startup" --provider anthropic
agent-company-ai -C my-startup hire ceo --name Bob

# List all companies
agent-company-ai companies

# Destroy a company
agent-company-ai destroy --company my-startup
agent-company-ai destroy --yes  # destroy default, skip confirmation

Directory layout:

.agent-company-ai/
    default/
        config.yaml
        company.db
    my-startup/
        config.yaml
        company.db

Existing single-company setups are automatically migrated into default/ on first access.

Built-in Agent Tools

Agents have access to these tools based on their role:

Tool	Description
web_search	Search the web via DuckDuckGo (no API key needed)
read_file / write_file	File operations in the workspace (sandboxed)
code_exec	Execute Python code (restricted builtins)
shell	Run shell commands (30s timeout, dangerous patterns blocked)
delegate_task	Delegate work to other agents
report_result	Submit task results
check_balance	Check wallet balance (wallet-enabled agents)
get_wallet_address	Get company wallet address (wallet-enabled agents)
list_payments	View payment queue (wallet-enabled agents)
request_payment	Request a payment — goes to approval queue (wallet-enabled agents)

Autonomous Mode

The company runs in CEO-driven cycles:

1. Plan - CEO breaks the goal into tasks and delegates to the team
2. Execute - Agents work on tasks in parallel waves
3. Review - CEO evaluates progress and decides: DONE, CONTINUE, or FAILED
4. Loop - Repeat until goal achieved or limits reached

When ProfitEngine is enabled, the CEO factors business DNA into every planning and review decision.

Configurable limits (in config.yaml or via CLI flags):

• max_cycles: 5 — CEO review loops
• max_waves_per_cycle: 10 — parallel execution waves per cycle
• max_total_tasks: 50 — hard cap on tasks
• max_time_seconds: 3600 — wall-clock timeout
• max_cost_usd: 0.0 — spending cap (0 = unlimited)

Custom Roles

Create custom roles by adding YAML files:

# .agent-company-ai/roles/custom_analyst.yaml
name: analyst
title: "Data Analyst"
description: "Analyzes data and creates reports"
system_prompt: |
  You are a data analyst at {company_name}.
  Your expertise: data analysis, visualization, reporting.
