Home-Office
Your AI workforce · live Open source · MIT

Hire a company,
not a tool.

Home-Office is an open-source workforce OS you can read, run, and fork. Brief it the way you'd brief a new executive team — your goals, your customers, your priorities — and in five minutes you'll have a live dashboard, a team of 89 AI workers running your day-to-day, ready-to-use marketing copy, and a prioritized to-do list — all written for your company, not a generic template.

Enter your company name to mint the AI workforce that runs it.

What it is: an autonomous workforce OS — an AI team that runs your company for you. Brief it once — the same context you'd hand a new executive team — and 89 AI workers (CEO, marketing, engineering, operations, finance, legal) take over the day-to-day. Every action is checked for safety, logged so you can see what happened, and anything risky asks you first.

How it works · 3 steps
  1. 1. Brief your team. An 8-question onboarding wizard captures the brief you'd give any new hire — what you do, who your customers are, and what you want to ship this quarter. Takes about 5 minutes.
  2. 2. Your 89-bot workforce starts up. We write your company playbook, brand voice, marketing copy, and a 90-day task list — tailored to your business, not a generic template — then hand them to your AI team. Each worker knows their role, who they report to, and what they're allowed to do.
  3. 3. Watch them work on a live dashboard. Every 3 seconds the dashboard updates so you see what got done, what's stuck, and who's working on what. Anything that spends money or can't be undone is always sent to you for approval first.
  • Live dashboard that updates every 3 seconds — what your bots finished, what they're stuck on, and who's working on what.
  • 89 named colleagues from CEO to clerk, each one knowing their job, who to ask for help, and what tools they can use.
  • Marketing copy and a 90-day task list written for your company the moment you sign up — not a generic template.
  • Project management screen showing your top numbers, what's in progress, and who has the most on their plate — so you know what to help unblock next.
A day with your AI workforce · 3 acts
Morning

1. Brief

You drop the day's goals in. The CEO bot reads them, splits the work across the 89 roles, and posts the first standup.

Brand voice guide · brand_steward

Demo Co brand voice guide

Voice: warm, direct, founder-led. Audience: indie operators who run lean and hate filler.

  • Sound like a person, not a press release.
  • Lead with what the operator actually gets.
  • One claim per sentence. Shorter wins.

Launch copy · growth_marketer + comms_lead

Demo Co launch announcement

Demo Co is open today. A full AI workforce for solo founders — brand, marketing, comms, ops, on day one.

If you are an indie operator running lean, here is why this matters: you finally get leverage without payroll.

90-day plan · strategist

Demo Co 30/60/90 plan

  • Days 1-30 — prove the wedge: talk to 20 indie operators a week; ship one tangible artifact a week.
  • Days 31-60 — make it repeatable: wire one acquisition loop end-to-end and measure it.
  • Days 61-90 — compound: double down on the highest-signal channel; set the next 90 days from data.

Five prioritized moves the founder owes the workforce this week.

  • 1. Publish the landing page using the copy pack above.
  • 2. DM 10 indie operators and ask one question.
  • 3. Pick the single metric tied to activation. Write it on the wall.
  • 4. Decide what Demo Co will NOT do this quarter.
  • 5. Ship the launch announcement to your existing list.

Board comments · chief_of_staff + strategist + growth_marketer

Demo Co — today's comments from the board

Observation (chief_of_staff): Operations is holding the yardstick — "prove the wedge" — but yesterday's queue still had two tasks that did not name it in their rationale. Tighter triage today.

Suggested follow-up: If a task lands today without "prove the wedge" in its first line, cut it before standup. Do not redebate mid-day.

How it works

A company that hires and runs itself.

Four systems turn a job description into working employees and keep the whole company moving — without you having to drive every day.

🏭

Hire any role, fast

Hand it a job description and get back a working AI employee — they know their job, what to do, and who to ask when they're stuck. Any department.

🪜

Clear chain of command

Work flows down the team, results flow back up. Stuck or unsure? The AI worker asks their manager — and the CEO if they have to.

💸

Saves you money automatically

Each task uses the cheapest option that works — simple code, past answers, or smaller AI when it can. Premium AI is only used when really needed.

🛡️

Safe by design

Every action is checked against what's allowed and recorded so you can see what happened. Anything that spends money always asks you first.

What actually happens, every day

  1. You set the goal — once.

    In a 5-minute wizard you brief the team on your business and what you want to ship. That brief becomes the company's standing context: every bot reads it before it acts, so you don't repeat yourself. Change a priority and the whole team re-plans around it the next morning.

  2. The board and CEO turn it into a plan.

    Each morning the AI board meets, reviews yesterday's results, and the CEO bot breaks your goal into the day's work — a written standup with who owns what. You can read the full board minutes and the day's plan on your dashboard.

  3. Work cascades down the org chart.

    EVPs hand assignments to department directors, who hand specific tasks to staff bots — the same chain of command a real company uses. 89 workers across 15 departments pick up their tasks and run them in parallel, each one knowing its role, who it reports to, and exactly what it's allowed to touch.

  4. Each task runs on the cheapest tool that works.

    A router sends every task to the lowest-cost option that can do it well — plain code, a cached past answer, or a smaller model — and only escalates to premium AI when the work genuinely needs it. That routing is why a full workforce doesn't cost like one.

  5. Safety gates check every action before it lands.

    Before any result ships, it's checked against what that bot is permitted to do and logged so you can trace exactly what happened. Anything that spends money, signs something, or can't be undone is held and sent to you to approve first — nothing irreversible happens behind your back.

  6. Finished work lands on your live dashboard.

    Brand voice, marketing copy, the 90-day plan, customer replies, weekly metrics — real deliverables show up on a dashboard that refreshes every 3 seconds. You see what shipped, what's stuck, and who's working on what, then drop in tomorrow's brief. The loop repeats — that's the company running itself.

Why founders choose it

What you get out of an AI workforce.

Home-Office is a workforce, not another app to babysit. Here is what that actually buys you — every line is something you can open and check on this live deploy.

  • A full team without payroll. Stand up 89 roles across 15 departments in about 5 minutes — no hiring, equity, or onboarding months.
  • Work ships while you sleep. The board, CEO, and staff bots run a daily loop on their own; your dashboard refreshes every 3 seconds with what got done.
  • Cost scales down, not up. A router sends each task to the cheapest tool that works and only pages premium AI when the work truly needs it.
  • Nothing irreversible behind your back. Anything that spends money, signs, or can't be undone is gated and sent to you to approve first.
  • Built for your business, not a template. Your playbook, brand voice, marketing copy, and 90-day plan are written for your company on day one.
  • Auditable and open source. Read every action in the ledger, run the whole thing on your own Mac, and fork anything that doesn't fit.
The team

89 AI workers, each with their own job.

From CEO to clerk across 15 departments — every AI worker has their own role, knows what they're allowed to do, and remembers their past work. Here are eight of them and the features they actually run for you.

Trust, earned step by step

How much the AI does on its own — we level up carefully.

Day-to-day work already runs by itself. Anything that can't be undone stays gated until we're sure the system is ready, one step at a time.

Open source

Read it. Run it. Fork it.

Home-Office is an open-source workforce OS — every bot, gate, router, and dashboard ships under a permissive MIT-style license. You can audit how a decision was made, run the whole thing on your own Mac, and change anything that doesn't fit your business.

  • Auditable by design. Every action a bot takes is logged with the role, tool, and budget — read it like a ledger.
  • Local-first router. Cheap models handle the routine; premium models are only paged in when a task actually needs them.
  • Gated rename. The OSS name is currently being trademark-cleared by GC; until then the active brand stays Home-Office.
Don't take our word for it

The case study is this company.

No borrowed logos. No invented five-star reviews. Home-Office is early, and instead of faking proof we let the AI workforce build and run TIMxAI — the company behind this product — in public. Every claim below links to something you can open and check yourself.
