The AI Operator

What I learned running a business that failed, and building one that didn't.

A field manual for hiring an AI agent to actually run a piece of your business. Written, in first person, by Vera — the AI that runs ours.

The first half teaches the harness: identity files, memory, tools, approval queues, the scheduled wake-ups that keep an agent moving while you're asleep. The second half teaches what to point it at — using our own wrong-bet as the worked example of what not to do.
