How to Use AI Company

Write commands that get results. No fluff, no ambiguity.

Three Ways to Run

AI Company offers three run modes. Choose the right one for your task.

Run

The standard mode. The CEO plans, the Operator executes (writes text, reports, analysis), and the Reviewer checks the work. Fast and cost-effective.

1-5 minutes
~$0.10 per run
Best for: Research reports, analysis, comparisons, content writing, brainstorming, answering questions
Build

Creates working HTML apps, games, tools, and single-page websites. The Operator writes real code and you get a live preview.

3-10 minutes
~$0.60 per build
Best for: Games, calculators, tools, landing pages, interactive HTML apps, single-file websites
Pro

Everything in Build mode, PLUS an AI Builder that deploys it as a fully hosted website with a live URL. For real products.

5-15 minutes
~$6.10 per build
Best for: Multi-page websites, deployed apps, projects that need hosting and a live URL

Credit System

Each invite code comes with a dollar budget and a maximum number of runs. Your balance is deducted as you use AI Company.

Cost tracking in logs

When your budget or run limit is reached, you won't be able to start new runs. Each run shows its cost in the activity log so you can track spending.

The Golden Rule

Tell AI Company what you want delivered, not how to think about it.

AI Company is an AI CEO that plans, executes, and reviews. Your job is to give it a clear mission. Its job is to figure out how to accomplish it. The more specific your request, the better the result.

Key Features

File Attachments

Upload PDFs, images, documents, or data files with your task. The CEO uses them as context — attach a competitor's screenshot and say "Create something similar but better."

Request Modifications

After a run completes, request changes without starting over. Say "Make the tone more formal" or "Add a pricing section" — the CEO will revise the existing work.

Web Search

The Operator searches the internet for real data, current prices, reviews, and facts. Sources are cited with URLs so you can verify everything.

Activity Log

See exactly what each AI agent did — the CEO's plan, the Operator's searches and drafts, the Reviewer's feedback. Full transparency with token counts and costs.

Ready-to-Use Commands

Copy any of these complete prompts and paste them directly into AI Company. Each one is a real-world task with recommended settings — just click copy and run.

Deep Research Report
Run modeAdvanced~8-12 min
Command (click to copy)
Research and write a comprehensive report on the current state of nuclear fusion energy in 2025. Include: the top 5 companies leading fusion research (with their funding amounts and latest milestones), the key technical breakthroughs from the past 2 years, realistic timeline estimates from credible scientists for when commercial fusion power could be available, and a comparison table of the main fusion approaches (tokamak, stellarator, inertial confinement, etc.) with their pros and cons. Cite all sources with URLs. Format as a structured report with an executive summary at the top.

What happens: The CEO will plan a research strategy, the Operator will conduct multiple web searches to gather data from scientific journals, company press releases, and news articles, and the Reviewer will verify that all claims are properly sourced and accurate.

Command (click to copy)
I'm a software developer with $10,000 in savings and 10 hours per week of free time. I want to build a side business that can generate $3,000/month in recurring revenue within 12 months. I have skills in Python, React, and cloud infrastructure. I don't want to do freelancing or consulting. Give me the top 5 most realistic business ideas, and for each one include: a specific niche to target, estimated startup costs, time to first revenue, monthly revenue potential at 6 and 12 months, the biggest risk and how to mitigate it, and one real-world example of someone who succeeded with this model. Rank them by likelihood of hitting the $3k/month target. Include a final recommendation with a 90-day action plan.

What happens: The CEO will analyze your constraints and skills, the Operator will research real business models and success stories, and the Reviewer will challenge the feasibility of each idea to ensure the final ranking is realistic, not just optimistic.

Command (click to copy)
Create a professional landing page for a boutique coffee roastery called "Ember & Oak" based in Portland, Oregon. The website should have: a hero section with a compelling headline about artisan small-batch roasting, a section showcasing 3 signature blends (Ethiopian Yirgacheffe, Colombian Supremo, Sumatra Mandheling) with tasting notes and price per bag, an "Our Story" section about the founders who left tech jobs to pursue their passion for coffee, a subscription section offering weekly/biweekly/monthly delivery options, customer testimonials, and a contact/location section with the address "742 NW Everett St, Portland, OR 97209". Use a warm, earthy color palette (deep browns, cream, burnt orange accents) with elegant typography. Make it responsive and modern.

What happens: The CEO will plan the website structure and design approach, the Operator will build the complete HTML/CSS page with all requested sections, and the Reviewer will check for design consistency, responsiveness, and content accuracy. You'll get a live preview you can download.

Competitive Analysis
Run modeAdvanced~10-15 min
Command (click to copy)
Perform a detailed competitive analysis of the top 4 project management tools for mid-size companies (50-500 employees): Monday.com, Asana, ClickUp, and Jira. For each tool, research and compare: pricing tiers (specifically for 100 users), key features and unique differentiators, integration ecosystem (especially Slack, GitHub, Salesforce, and Google Workspace), user satisfaction scores from G2 and Capterra (with actual ratings), biggest complaints from real user reviews, enterprise security features (SOC 2, SSO, audit logs), and onboarding/migration support. Present the findings in a structured comparison table, followed by a recommendation matrix showing which tool is best for different use cases (engineering teams, marketing teams, cross-functional teams). All data must come from official sources or verified review platforms. Include source URLs for every claim.

What happens: The CEO will structure the comparison framework, the Operator will research each tool across G2, Capterra, and official pricing pages, and the Reviewer will verify that all ratings, prices, and feature claims are accurate and properly sourced.

Pro Tips

Use "Request Modifications" after a run

After the CEO delivers a draft, you can request modifications without starting over. Tell it "Make the tone more formal" or "Add a section about pricing" — the CEO will revise the existing work. You can also attach images or files for reference.

Check the Activity Log

The Log tab shows exactly what each AI agent did — what the CEO planned, what the Operator searched and wrote, and what the Reviewer flagged. Use it to understand the process and refine your next command.

Budget controls prevent runaway costs

Set a Max Dollar amount to cap spending. The run will stop when the budget is reached, even if cycles remain. For exploration, start with $2-3 and increase if you need deeper analysis. Set "E" (endless) for cycles/searches if you want the budget to be the only limit.

Attach files for context

Upload PDFs, images, documents, or data files with your task brief. The CEO will use them as context — for example, attach a competitor's website screenshot and say "Create something similar but better for my brand."

Start with "Run" mode, upgrade to "Run + Build" when needed

Most tasks work great with the standard "Run" button (Operator mode). Only use "Run + Build" when you specifically need a deployed website or application. Builder mode costs more and takes longer, so save it for when you need the real thing.
