Founder uses 13 AI agents for business operations with strict safety gates

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A founder has developed a system for managing multiple AI agents that operate his companies, with 13 agents currently running 14 ventures. To maintain control, he has implemented five specific "gates" that prevent agents from performing actions related to finances, authentication, external communication, scheduled automation, or destructive changes without human approval. This framework emphasizes wide autonomy within these narrow boundaries, supported by agent contracts, an immutable ledger for auditing, and a rigorous "done means checked" philosophy. AI
