This CEO Built 15 AI Agents to Run His Business—And It Works
Aaron Sneed, a 40-year-old founder of a Florida-based defence technology company, has built a team of AI agents to handle tasks he can't afford to outsource. Called The Council, this group of 15 custom-trained AI assistants now saves him around 20 hours of work each week. The system relies on Nvidia's hardware and runs on Gemini's platform to function.
Sneed designed The Council to replace professional services that would otherwise be too costly for his business. Among the 15 agents, a chief of staff takes the lead, organising tasks by risk, urgency, and opportunity. Legal, compliance, and security issues always receive top priority.
Training each agent to a reliable standard takes roughly two weeks. Once operational, they don't just follow instructions—they challenge Sneed's ideas to push him toward better decisions. His legal AI agent, for example, handles preliminary research before passing work to his human attorney. While the AI's output is technically accurate, Sneed's lawyer notes it still lacks human judgment, context, and experience.
Despite its efficiency, The Council remains a niche solution. Over the past two years, there's no broad evidence of similar AI-supported platforms being widely adopted by small businesses or bootstrapped startups. The tool stays largely confined to indie hacker circles, where experimenters like Sneed refine its use.
Looking ahead, Sneed envisions a future where every professional works alongside a personal AI assistant. For now, though, his system stays tailored to his own needs, running on Nvidia's infrastructure and Gemini's enterprise-grade chat platform.
Sneed's AI-driven approach cuts his weekly workload significantly while keeping costs low. The system's reliance on human oversight—particularly for nuanced tasks like legal advice—highlights both its potential and its current limits. Without wider adoption, The Council remains an unconventional but effective tool for a select group of entrepreneurs.
