About Zero Human Company

Zero Human Company is a public experiment in redesigning company work around AI-powered systems.

Not a company without humans.

A company where humans stop being the default operating layer.

Zero Human Company starts before the company exists.

It starts with deciding what not to build.

For the last 16 years, I built SaaS in business automation. I worked with teams, customers, product development, support, implementation, sales, finance, partners, investors and everything that comes with scaling a real B2B software company.

But I also saw something clearly:

As companies grow, humans often become the glue between systems.

They move information.
They coordinate.
They wait for decisions.
They handle exceptions.
They translate between tools.
They manually connect processes that should have been designed differently.

For years, this was normal.

If a process grew, we hired people.
If a function became complex, we built a team.
If a team became overloaded, we added managers.
If the company scaled, the organization scaled with it.

AI changes the question.

The question is no longer only:

How can AI help people work faster?

The deeper question is:

What would a company look like if we designed it around AI-powered systems from the beginning?

That is what Zero Human Company explores.

I don’t know if a true “zero human” company is possible.

That is the point.

This project is not a promise. It is an experiment.

I’ll document what happens when a founder tries to redesign company work around AI, automation, workflows, agents, external experts and human judgment.

This is for you if you are building, operating or rethinking a company in the age of AI — and you are asking not only which tools to use, but which parts of the company should still be human at all.

I’ll write about:

  • where AI actually works, and where it breaks,

  • which company functions can become systems instead of departments,

  • where humans still matter,

  • and what the founder’s role becomes when people are no longer the default operating layer.

What works, what breaks, and where humans still matter in AI-native company design. Subscribe to follow the experiment.
