What it is

firstemployee.ai, as visitors see it

First Employee is an AI employee that builds and grows your business. You describe your business idea, and the AI researches the market, names the company, and publishes a multi-page website with a working contact form in about three minutes—all for free. After launch, it keeps working: reading customer enquiries, improving pages, optimizing for search traffic, and drafting outbound communications. Everything the AI does is receipted with the tools used, changes made, model run, tokens consumed, and links to results. You maintain full control: spending, email, ads, and charges all wait for your approval. Revenue never passes through the company—customers pay into your own Stripe account, and the company takes either 0% (self-managed) or 15% (managed plan) only from money actually earned.

  • Multi-page website with contact forms published in three minutes

Questions from the bench

What do I get for free?
The AI builds and names your company, writes a multi-page website with a working contact form, and publishes it live on its own address in about three minutes. The site stays up permanently. A paid plan is only needed for ongoing work after the initial build.
What exactly is a shift?
One shift is a block of work. The AI reads where your company stands, picks up tasks you left for it, completes the work, writes you a report, and queues what it wants to do next. How many shifts you get depends on your plan.
How do I know the AI actually did the work?
Every action writes a receipt showing the tool used, what changed, which model ran, how long it took, and a link to what was produced. The ledger is append-only and can be exported as CSV or JSON.
Can the AI spend money or email people without my approval?
No. Sending email, posting publicly, running ads, and charging a customer all wait for your approval. Only reversible work like research and drafts happen automatically.
What AI model does it use?
Claude Opus 5 for the main shift work, with cheaper models for routine classification. Every receipt records which model ran, so you can see if quality changes and understand why.
