Bench — AI Agents for Small Teams
Solo founders don't lack AI tools. They lack the people who would use them. Most products hand you a blank text box and quietly make you the operator so the inbox still doesn't get triaged and the content calendar still doesn't get built.
Bench inverts that. Instead of a chat interface, it's a hiring interface. You staff a bench of role-trained specialists — an Executive Assistant, a Lead Generator, a Social Media Manager, a Marketing Manager — each scoped to real responsibilities with its own tool access and definition of done. They work in the background and report status: working, done, needs review.
I built the agent orchestration behind it, the role definitions that keep each specialist in its lane, and the review layer that surfaces anything consequential before it ships. Drafts land in the founder's voice. Nothing gets sent without a human seeing it first.
The design constraint throughout was trust. Multi-agent systems fail when they act confidently in the wrong direction, so the product is architected around visible work and cheap correction rather than silent autonomy.
Built for the smallest teams to deploy what used to require a payroll.
