We built an AI that runs an entire business autonomously. Not a demo. Not a prototype. Actually running. YC-backed, here's what we learned.

This sub has seen enough "AI can now do X" posts to have a finely tuned radar for what's real and what's a that falls apart the moment someone actually uses it. So I'll skip the hype and just tell you what we built and where the edges are. The core problem we were solving wasn't any individual capability. Generating copy is solved. Building websites is solved. Running ads is mostly solved. The unsolved problem was coherent autonomous decision making across all of those systems simultaneously without a human acting as the integration layer between them.
