Get a Chief of Staff before you can hire one

Founders can use AI agents to run the morning brief, follow up on sales threads, prepare for meetings, and watch competitors, coordinated by a Chief of Staff bot. You describe what you need in plain language; it delegates to specialist bots and summarises the results. You approve anything that sends, posts, or spends.

Where the week goes

The work that eats your time.

The inbox runs the day

Investor, customer, and hiring threads mix together. Finding the three that matter takes the first hour.

Follow-ups that slip

A promising sales conversation goes quiet because you owed the next email and forgot.

Walking into meetings cold

Back-to-back calls leave no time to reread the last thread before each one.

Missing market moves

A competitor changes pricing or launches something, and you hear about it weeks later.

The first job to hand off.

A morning brief

A weekday routine reads your calendar and inbox and gives you one summary: today's meetings, threads waiting on you, and anything urgent. Adjust what it covers by telling the Chief of Staff in plain language.

Morning brief

Set up a routine for weekdays at 7:45. Check my Google Calendar for today, my Gmail since 6pm yesterday, my Slack mentions, and the Linear issues assigned to me. Post a brief to a thread called Morning brief: decisions needed first, then meetings, then everything else.

What the team takes on

Jobs your AI team does every week.

  • Sales follow-ups

    Find conversations where you owe the next step and draft a follow-up grounded in the actual exchange. Nothing sends automatically.

  • Meeting prep

    Before each call, pull who is attending, the last thread, and open items into a one-page brief.

  • Competitor watch

    Track competitor pricing and product pages and get a dated Monday brief with a watch, respond, or ignore recommendation.

  • Reddit lead finding

    Search the communities you choose for people describing the problem you solve, and draft helpful replies for you to post.

  • Launch campaigns

    Turn one audience insight into positioning, assets, a distribution plan, and a date to decide whether to keep going.

  • Weekly update

    Draft the weekly team or investor update from your notes, metrics sheet, and tracker in the same format each time.

Why a team

Why this works better than a chatbot.

One bot to talk to

The Chief of Staff receives your requests, delegates focused tasks to specialist bots, and summarises the results back to you.

Several jobs at once

Each bot can run up to three threads at a time, and bots can hand bounded subtasks to each other.

Approvals on what matters

In Ask mode, risky actions such as sending an email become approval cards in the conversation. Deny one and the bot finds another way.

Costs you can see

Each thread shows its token use and cost, so you know what a brief or a research job costs to run.

FAQ

Questions about Brainwrite for founders

How can founders use AI agents?

Hand off the recurring work that crowds out building: the morning brief, sales follow-ups, meeting prep, competitor monitoring, and weekly updates. In Brainwrite, a Chief of Staff bot takes your requests and delegates to specialist bots that work in the apps you connect. You approve anything that sends, posts, or spends.

What does an AI Chief of Staff actually do?

In Brainwrite, the Chief of Staff is a bot that receives your requests, breaks them into focused tasks, hands each one to a specialist bot, and summarises the results. Specialists it creates start with connected apps and automatic approvals switched off, so you decide what each one can touch.

Will it send emails on my behalf?

Only with the tools and permission you give it. In Ask mode, risky actions such as sending an email appear as approval cards, and you approve or deny each one. The ready-made follow-up team drafts messages and sends nothing on its own. You can switch a thread to Full Access when you trust a workflow.

Does my data leave my Mac?

Chats, files, and bot memory stay on your machine. When a bot works, the text it needs is sent to the AI provider you chose and to the apps you connected. Brainwrite's account service sees your email and plan. Bot memory is plain text you can read, edit, and delete.
