The AI org chart / Who does the work

Launching a web-based startup doesn’t mean hiring humans anymore.

AI agents develop the software, design the experience, plan campaigns, and handle operations across my companies. Here’s the work they’re assigned, the tools behind it, and where I direct and review the results.

02 / What a role means here

Real assignments.
Human direction.

Each entry is a role assignment supported by company or workspace evidence. The snapshot includes agents doing current project work under my supervision, as well as agents running scheduled tasks.

One platform can fill several roles across different companies and functions. The totals count those assignments, not separate employees or unique AI agents. Pilots keep their own label.

Verification notes show the latest evidenced work; this is an assignment map, not a live activity feed.

An unverified branch means we haven’t confirmed an assignment for this snapshot. The chart makes no company executive appointment claims.

Scheduled agent

An agent with a recurring operational assignment.

Supervised agent

An agent doing development, design, marketing, research, or other project work with human direction and review.

Pilot

An experimental agent capability still being tested.

Public company context: Talbot Tech portfolio and Parallax. Expand an assignment’s verification note for its scope and human oversight.
