Agentic AI — an AI "CEO + COO" that runs my ventures.

A self-built multi-agent system that operates a whole venture portfolio on my behalf — an AI CEO that delegates to a roster of specialist agents, governed by an AI COO discipline layer, with persistent memory and human-in-the-loop sign-off.

Helix board — what needs you now, what's delegated, what's stalled. Auto-checked; nothing sent without sign-off.

The problem

I run several ventures at once. I can't personally do GTM, content, engineering, DevOps, finance and vendor ops every single day — but handing it to ungoverned AI agents risks runaway spend, off-brand output, and actions I never sanctioned. I wanted agents that act on my behalf at the quality I'd ship myself.

What I built

I architected an "AI CEO" that reads a single brief, decides the next move, and dispatches a roster of specialist agents: GTM, marketing, copy, design, engineering, DevOps, security, QA, research, legal, HR, supply chain, finance and vendor/customer comms. Each has the context and tools to do real work. On top sits an "AI COO" discipline layer: per-month budget caps with a fail-closed spend breaker, 48–72h response SLAs, security and compliance gates, and human-in-the-loop sign-off before anything ships, sends or spends. Persistent memory carries decisions, preferences and prior work across sessions, so it gets sharper over time.

The outcome

It runs every day, takes and logs hundreds of decisions, asks me only on the exceptions, and produces real work at the bar I would set myself: sites, copy, deploys, vendor drafts. Every action is auditable. Proven on SFHL's own ventures first, it is now piloting with enterprises as Helix.

Why it works

Agents are easy to start and hard to trust. The real work was the governance: budgets, gates and human sign-off, built like an accountable team, so it can actually be left to run.

How it works

The org chart — an AI CEO, an AI COO and specialists.

The orchestration — one brief in: the AI CEO dispatches specialists, the AI COO governs every move.
Chat-first

Ask, and it answers from your own data.

The chat-first home — questions answered on your own machine. Nothing leaves it.

The agent roster

Specialists the AI CEO delegates to.

AI CEO
Reads the goal, decides the next move, dispatches the right specialist — the orchestrator.
AI COO
The discipline layer: budget caps, a fail-closed spend breaker, SLAs, security & compliance gates, sign-off.
GTM & Positioning
Turns a feature into a buyer-convinced, value-quantified story and offer.
Copy & Content
Website copy, posts and sequences, on-brand and human.
Design (UI/UX)
Design systems, wireframes and premium marketing layouts.
Frontend & Backend
Ships real code — Astro/React front ends, Supabase/Cloudflare back ends.
DevOps & Security
Deploys behind a pre-deploy security gate; nothing ships ungated.
QA
Tests every build before it goes out the door.
Vendor & Customer comms
Drafts RFQs, quotes and follow-ups — drafts only; I approve every send.
Marketing
Content calendars, campaigns, ad creative and social — planned, produced and scheduled.
Research & Intelligence
Scans the web for portfolio signals: competitors, tenders, funding. Briefs me on what matters.
Legal & Compliance
Reviews contracts, drafts NDAs and SoWs, watches IP and trademarks — flags risk, never advises blind.
HR & People
Hiring, intern onboarding, account provisioning and the people-ops paperwork.
Supply chain
Vendor sourcing, RFQs, costing and follow-ups — from quote to landed cost.
Finance
Invoicing, revenue and retainer health, and spend tracking — against the COO's budget caps.
