22-Cron-Job One-Person AI Startup

Complete one-person AI startup stack: Claude Opus for strategy/writing, Claude Sonnet for automation, all orchestrated through OpenClaw with 22 active cron jobs and sub-agent spawning. Each specialized cron job handles a different workflow.

The Problem

Solo founders need to compete with teams but lack the bandwidth to execute on all fronts: content, outreach, research, monitoring, customer support.

The Solution

A fully automated business infrastructure:

22 active cron jobs handling different workflows
Sub-agent spawning for parallel task execution
Claude Opus for high-level strategy and writing
Claude Sonnet for routine automation tasks
Content pipeline — research, write, schedule
Outreach automation — prospect, personalize, send
Research monitoring — track competitors, trends, opportunities

Results

A solo founder replaces an entire team with cron-scheduled agent infrastructure. The business runs 24/7 whether the founder is working or not.

Key Insight

Cron-scheduled agents are the new employees. When you can spawn specialized sub-agents on demand and schedule them to run continuously, one person can orchestrate work that previously required a department.
