Buda: Agents as a Company

by
Hey PH,

I'm Kelly, founder of Buda, launching today:
https://www.producthunt.com/prod...

Earlier this year, I handed 90% of our company's daily work to AI agents.

Two weeks in, 40% of my team didn't know what to put in their weekly update. Not because they weren't working, but because agents had quietly cleared their to-do lists.

They stopped doing the work and started managing the agents who did. Support, ops, design: all became AI managers overnight.

The infrastructure was chaos though: 8 Linux machines, 2 Mac Minis, 30+ chat channels. So we rebuilt it into a product: Buda.

Each Claw agent gets its own computer, browser, and disk. You open a website, click hire, and your agent starts working. No Mac Mini. No setup. No model config.

Happy to talk about agent management, token costs, what actually works vs. hype, building in public, or anything else.

AMA.

The shift from 'doing the work' to 'managing agents who do the work' is a really interesting organizational change. Did you find that certain roles adapted to that shift more naturally than others, or was the adjustment equally difficult across support, ops, and design?

@ahana_gandhi Actually, I've found that programmers have the hardest time adjusting to this shift.
