A one-person marketing agency staffed by 35 AI agents

🧰 Before you start

• A service you already know how to deliver (e.g. marketing, research, content)
• An AI agent tool: Grok Bot, ChatGPT or Claude
• A simple project tracker (Google Sheets or Notion)

🪜 Steps (tick as you go)

1. ☐
   1. Write down your service as steps

   List every step from 'new client' to 'final report', e.g. research, plan, write, design, report.

2. ☐
   2. Mark what AI can do

   Next to each step write AI, ME, or AI + ME. Keep relationship and sensitive work for yourself.

3. ☐
   3. Create one AI helper per step

   In your AI tool, set up a helper for each AI step (a Grok Bot, a ChatGPT project or a Claude project), each with its own instructions (prompt below).

4. ☐
   4. Write a checklist for each helper

   Tell each helper exactly what a good result looks like, with an example.

5. ☐
   5. Connect the steps

   Have each helper save results in one shared folder or tracker so the next one picks them up.

6. ☐
   6. Run a test client

   Do a pretend project end to end and fix weak spots.

7. ☐
   7. Price by result

   Sell a monthly retainer (fixed monthly fee) for the outcome, not 'AI hours'.
