Imagine if you could hire five new employees today —

• One for handling customer questions 24/7

• One for finding new leads

• One for scheduling your meetings

• One for drafting your marketing content

• One for summarizing your business data

The best part?

They don't sleep. They don't call in sick. They just work.

Today, you actually can — and it's all thanks to the rise of practical, easy-to-use AI agents.

A Quick Personal Note:

When I first got into AI over 15 years ago, building an AI application meant you had to know how to do everything:

• Write the code

• Set up the servers

• Manage the databases

• Deploy the software

• Monitor the models

• Update and maintain the systems

It was complex, expensive, and incredibly time-consuming — and you needed a full team just to keep it all running.

At the same time, having built three companies myself, I know firsthand what it's like to wear all the hats: Founder, salesperson, marketer, customer service rep, accountant...you name it.

And I also know how easy it is to burn out trying to do it all yourself — or worse, go broke trying to hire for every role before your revenue catches up.

That's why I'm genuinely excited about this moment we're in right now.

For the first time, AI agents can actually take real work off your plate — without you needing a technical team, a six-figure budget, or a 60-hour workweek.

They’re finally practical for you, the small business owner or solo founder.

So today, I’m sharing five AI agents you can deploy right now — Simple, affordable tools built to make your business stronger and smarter without the overwhelm.
