Solo founder; Nomad List, Remote OK
Solo-founder ops with AIScheduled agent ops
Representative of Pieter's build-in-public threads — running customer support, fraud checks, and daily metrics digests through a handful of scheduled Claude calls, no team required.
“I have 1 employee: a cron job that wakes up Claude.”
How to replicate
- 1.List the weekly ops tasks you do by hand: refund triage, fraud review, metrics digest.
- 2.For each, write a prompt that takes a data export and returns a structured decision.
Prompt template
You're my ops assistant. Here is today's <task> data: <paste>. For each row, return JSON: {id, action: <approve|flag|reject>, reason: <one sentence>}. Flag anything you're under 80% confident on. Rules: <explicit policies>. Do not act — just recommend.Pitfall
Automating the action before you trust the recommendation. Recommend-only for weeks; only then close the loop, and always keep a kill switch.
What you'll learn
- •How to turn recurring ops into scheduled LLM calls
- •Why 'recommend' is the default mode before 'act'
- •How to spot-check instead of reviewing everything
- •When a solo-founder workflow hits scale limits
