  1. 0:01If your goal, or even your dream, is to
  2. 0:03have an extremely scalable business
  3. 0:05that will give you great freedom to
  4. 0:08generate high profits and put money in
  5. 0:10your pocket, without the headache of
  6. 0:12being enslaved by that business or
  7. 0:14worrying about a team of 10, 15, 20, 50
  8. 0:17, or even 100 people to maintain those
  9. 0:19results or keep them growing, then
  10. 0:21you’ve come to the right video. Not
  11. 0:25only the CEO of OpenAI, but also the
  12. 0:28CEO of Anthropic, the company behind
  13. 0:30Claude, bet that we would see a
  14. 0:33billion-dollar company operated by a
  15. 0:35single person. And that idea brings me
  16. 0:38to one single question: how much could
  17. 0:40you build if a much larger part of your
  18. 0:42business execution were handled by
  19. 0:43agents? And today, I’m going to map
  20. 0:47out for you a company with three
  21. 0:48functions operated entirely by agents.
  22. 0:51And of course, I’ve been working for
  23. 0:52a while to implement this within my own
  24. 0:54businesses, and I’ll tell you where
  25. 0:56I’m focusing most of my energy as an
  26. 0:57owner. So, if besides generating great
  27. 0:59results and actually profiting a lot
  28. 1:01from your business, your goal is to not
  29. 1:03rely on something extremely complex to
  30. 1:05keep it growing, then stay until the
  31. 1:07end of this video, because you might be
  32. 1:09just a few steps away from achieving
  33. 1:11that goal. And today I will use an
  34. 1:13example from one of the markets I
  35. 1:14operate in: the SaaS and apps market.
  36. 1:17But remember that what I’m going to
  37. 1:19share here can also be adapted to any
  38. 1:21other business, even those in the
  39. 1:23physical world. Maybe it’s not
  40. 1:25possible to be completely independent
  41. 1:27of human labor in that business, but
  42. 1:29you might want to delegate about 80 to
  43. 1:3190%of the functions you currently
  44. 1:32handle yourself. But first, we need to
  45. 1:36understand what this prediction means
  46. 1:38—the prediction that soon we will see
  47. 1:40billion-dollar businesses orchestrated
  48. 1:42by a single person. So, that statement
  49. 1:46by Dario, the CEO of Anthropic, was in
  50. 1:48May 2025, when they were asked when the
  51. 1:50first billion-dollar company with a
  52. 1:52single employee might emerge. And at
  53. 1:55that moment, his answer was somewhere
  54. 1:57between 2026 and 2027. Of course,
  55. 1:59it’s a prediction, but there is also
  56. 2:02a huge difference between a company
  57. 2:04being valued at 1 billion dollars and a
  58. 2:06company actually bringing in 1 billion
  59. 2:08in revenue or putting that kind of
  60. 2:10profit into the owner's pocket. So, I
  61. 2:13look at this discussion from a very
  62. 2:15different angle, one much closer to our
  63. 2:18reality. And the question remains: can
  64. 2:22a person identify a problem, build a
  65. 2:23solution, acquire clients, and maintain
  66. 2:26an operation with a much smaller
  67. 2:27structure than what was previously
  68. 2:29required for all of that to work? And
  69. 2:32it's this possibility that I've always
  70. 2:34been interested in exploring. And not
  71. 2:36just now that we're in the AI boom, but
  72. 2:38for those who have known me longer,
  73. 2:39I've mentioned many times here on the
  74. 2:41channel that my goal with digital and
  75. 2:43internet entrepreneurship has always
  76. 2:44been to carry a series of
  77. 2:45non-negotiables. And among these
  78. 2:48non-negotiables, the most important is
  79. 2:50efficiency and effort disproportionate
  80. 2:52to the result. In other words, I have
  81. 2:55always sought to create lean businesses
  82. 2:56, businesses that don't depend on great
  83. 2:58complexity to generate millions in
  84. 2:59revenue and profit. And of course, this
  85. 3:02entire goal has become increasingly
  86. 3:04refined, thanks to artificial
  87. 3:06intelligence and the latest major wave
  88. 3:09we are witnessing, which is the wave of
  89. 3:11autonomous AI agents. But in light of
  90. 3:14all this, I've always noticed a very
  91. 3:16big mistake in people who also want to
  92. 3:18build scalable businesses—businesses
  93. 3:20that generate millions in profit, but
  94. 3:22with little complexity, little headache
  95. 3:24, and without depending on dozens or
  96. 3:26even hundreds of people on the team—
  97. 3:28which is what? People want to design
  98. 3:31the entire structure before having
  99. 3:33something validated. So, before
  100. 3:35thinking about how you can use AI
  101. 3:38agents, how you can create several
  102. 3:40departments orchestrated by agents, how
  103. 3:44you can better utilize Cloud Code or
  104. 3:46Codex, or how you can use any other AI
  105. 3:49tool...you have to understand your "why
  106. 3:53" behind all of this very well. The
  107. 3:55more validated what you already have in
  108. 3:57hand is, the easier this "why" comes,
  109. 4:00the easier this other series of answers
  110. 4:02and the design you're going to build
  111. 4:04becomes. So, there's no point in
  112. 4:06wanting to create a one-person business
  113. 4:08or wanting to significantly reduce
  114. 4:10complexity or increase the efficiency
  115. 4:11of my business if I don't have a
  116. 4:13business yet or don't have the idea for
  117. 4:15this business and don't know if this
  118. 4:17idea is validated. So, you don't
  119. 4:20necessarily need to have something
  120. 4:22already making millions, something with
  121. 4:24a past history, but you at least need
  122. 4:26to be sure that your idea is validated.
  123. 4:29And for the context that I'm going to
  124. 4:31bring here for my example, I started by
  125. 4:32dividing this example, which is one of
  126. 4:34my businesses that I'm going to bring
  127. 4:35here for you, into three functions. The
  128. 4:37first is delivery, which is the work
  129. 4:39for which the client pays. The second
  130. 4:42is sales and support, meaning
  131. 4:44understanding who arrived to explain
  132. 4:46the solution and help them use it. And
  133. 4:49the third function is acquisition, that
  134. 4:51is, getting new customers to know that
  135. 4:53business, that solution. So you notice
  136. 4:56that it's a reverse engineering process
  137. 4:58. Most people will start by focusing on
  138. 5:00that first function, on how to use
  139. 5:02agents or how to use AI to sell more.
  140. 5:05But that is not the most coherent path
  141. 5:07to follow, especially since acquisition
  142. 5:09isn't the easiest starting point. And
  143. 5:12that is always what I’ve sought to do
  144. 5:13as well: think big, but start small. So
  145. 5:16, before you think about creating a
  146. 5:18business that will be operated and
  147. 5:19orchestrated by a single person, in
  148. 5:21this case, you, you have to know how to
  149. 5:23choose an offer and a delivery model
  150. 5:25that fits within this structure or that
  151. 5:27you can at least visualize, have an
  152. 5:29idea that it will fit. So, in my case,
  153. 5:32I already had a ready-made application,
  154. 5:34an app with thousands of users, already
  155. 5:36being sold and renewed for over 3 years
  156. 5:38, with very well-defined sectors within
  157. 5:41that delivery model. So, within that
  158. 5:44first function I mentioned, which was
  159. 5:46the structural part, if you don't yet
  160. 5:48have, for example, a deliverable—and
  161. 5:51let's use this example: an info-product
  162. 5:53or a SaaS app—the first step is to
  163. 5:55understand how you can use the AI tools
  164. 5:57at your reach to research the main pain
  165. 6:00points in a specific niche or market,
  166. 6:02to research the main solutions that
  167. 6:04exist in that niche or market, and how
  168. 6:06you can create a similar solution. Many
  169. 6:11people think it's bad to enter a market
  170. 6:13where, for example, there are
  171. 6:14technically a lot of people already
  172. 6:16selling, that already has a product, a
  173. 6:18highly scaled solution in that market.
  174. 6:21And that is a huge mistake. If there is
  175. 6:24a product, if it's scaled, it's because
  176. 6:26there is demand. And if there is demand
  177. 6:27, it's because people are paying to
  178. 6:30solve that problem. So, what stops you
  179. 6:33from understanding how that application
  180. 6:34works, how that solution is delivered,
  181. 6:36improving that solution, for example,
  182. 6:37creating a series of new angles for
  183. 6:39potential offers for the same solution,
  184. 6:41and attacking it that way? And in my
  185. 6:43case, the application was already ready
  186. 6:46since 2023, so I didn't have to redo
  187. 6:48anything there with artificial
  188. 6:49intelligence. But there was a very
  189. 6:51important point within this delivery,
  190. 6:53this first function, that helped me a
  191. 6:55lot here with renewals, which was in
  192. 6:57the sense of getting people to keep
  193. 6:58using the application. So, many people
  194. 7:01still don't see the power of LTV, how
  195. 7:03much a single customer can generate for
  196. 7:05you over time. Today, in all the
  197. 7:07businesses I have on the internet, in
  198. 7:09none of them do I look at a client and
  199. 7:11think about selling to them just once.
  200. 7:14Everything revolves around
  201. 7:15subscriptions or products for constant,
  202. 7:17recurring use. And to succeed with
  203. 7:20these business models, the product
  204. 7:22needs to be good, the delivery needs to
  205. 7:24be good, and most importantly, the
  206. 7:26customer needs to use the product. So,
  207. 7:28in the app scenario, imagine 1,000
  208. 7:30women download the app. Man, of those
  209. 7:321,000 women who subscribed and
  210. 7:34downloaded the app, you can be sure
  211. 7:37that about 800 will actually complete
  212. 7:39the sign-up and watch the first workout
  213. 7:42program. But of those 800 who watched
  214. 7:46the first workout program, 7 days later
  215. 7:49only about 200 will open the app again
  216. 7:51to continue using the workouts, using
  217. 7:54the community, and even buying or
  218. 7:56consuming other physical products made
  219. 7:59available there. So, with all these
  220. 8:02events, like, at what point is the
  221. 8:04person getting stuck, why didn't they
  222. 8:07complete their sign-up and watch that
  223. 8:09first sequence of workouts? How long
  224. 8:11does it take them to reach the main
  225. 8:13experience? Does it depend on the
  226. 8:16specific ad? So, women coming from ad X
  227. 8:20tend to consume the app more than those
  228. 8:23coming from ad Y, since the angle and
  229. 8:26expectations generated by ad Y differ
  230. 8:29from ad X. When you study these points,
  231. 8:32sometimes you see that ad Y has a
  232. 8:35cheaper cost, but it isn't necessarily
  233. 8:40bringing in the most qualified customer
  234. 8:43—the one who will pay for a more
  235. 8:46expensive subscription or renew their
  236. 8:48plans for a longer time. With all these
  237. 8:53events organized, I was able to ask an
  238. 8:55autonomous AI agent, created in
  239. 8:57OpenClaw, to compare the groups, show
  240. 9:00me who came from each campaign and
  241. 9:02funnel, and then show me, in an
  242. 9:04extremely segmented way, the possible
  243. 9:06reasons why these people were or
  244. 9:08weren't moving forward. So, once again,
  245. 9:12maybe one campaign brings in many cheap
  246. 9:14acquisitions, but from people who
  247. 9:15aren't as qualified. Another one might
  248. 9:18cost a bit more, but it will bring in a
  249. 9:19more qualified user, reaching people
  250. 9:21who will actually use that thing for a
  251. 9:23longer time. And this is a difference
  252. 9:25that also changes the investment
  253. 9:27decision. So this is the type of work
  254. 9:29that I will initially seek to
  255. 9:31systematize to understand what kind of
  256. 9:33experience is making the person come
  257. 9:35back before bringing more people to
  258. 9:37this same experience. Now, imagine how
  259. 9:41a person, a human being, or even I
  260. 9:43could sit there all day monitoring this
  261. 9:45amount of data, monitoring this amount
  262. 9:48of information; it would be humanly
  263. 9:50impossible. Moving on to the second
  264. 9:53function, which is the commercial and
  265. 9:55support side, this was perhaps the
  266. 9:57easiest to do and maybe also a point
  267. 9:59where you can reverse the order, right,
  268. 10:01start here. Why? If you already have a
  269. 10:04product, man, if you already have all
  270. 10:06the deliverables for this product, I
  271. 10:08don't see why you should have humanized
  272. 10:10support for this product from the first
  273. 10:12contact with the customer. So, you can
  274. 10:14take all this material that will be
  275. 10:16delivered, you can put it, for example,
  276. 10:18into an artificial intelligence agent
  277. 10:20and you can create a bot with this
  278. 10:22agent. This bot can answer customer
  279. 10:25questions via email, WhatsApp, or even
  280. 10:27Telegram. And then you can set a series
  281. 10:31of rules within it that will make it
  282. 10:33necessary for a human to be called in
  283. 10:35for that support case. So, besides the
  284. 10:38commercial part of sales recovery, this
  285. 10:41was another second very important point
  286. 10:43that I was also able to systematize.
  287. 10:45Instead of needing three or four people
  288. 10:47in support for an extremely scaled
  289. 10:49business, and even people who needed to
  290. 10:51speak more than one language because
  291. 10:53the app is scaled globally, I managed
  292. 10:56to do this with just one artificial
  293. 10:57intelligence agent and reduce this
  294. 10:59humanized support to a single person.
  295. 11:01Third function, the acquisition part.
  296. 11:04This part involves a few steps. So, in
  297. 11:07a very simplistic way, if we consider a
  298. 11:10classic sales funnel for direct traffic
  299. 11:12, where we have an ad, VSL, and
  300. 11:13checkout, or where we have an ad, quiz,
  301. 11:16VSL, and checkout, my first point of
  302. 11:18thought was to seek to understand how I
  303. 11:20could replace tasks that depended on
  304. 11:22human work with AI agents. Once again,
  305. 11:25then, starting with metrics analysis,
  306. 11:27man, that was the easiest part that was
  307. 11:29also already linked to function number
  308. 11:31one. Imagine connecting your sales
  309. 11:35platform, Meta Ads, and any tracking
  310. 11:37tool you use to your agent, asking it
  311. 11:39to generate daily performance reports
  312. 11:41with highly accurate insights on what
  313. 11:44you need to do to scale and get better
  314. 11:46results. Imagine how you could break
  315. 11:50down an existing ad creation process
  316. 11:53and now integrate artificial
  317. 11:55intelligence tools and agents to
  318. 11:57operate them, creating ads for you at a
  319. 12:00much higher speed. I recently showed in
  320. 12:04a video here on the channel how the
  321. 12:06audiovisual side is becoming very
  322. 12:07refined for Codex and also for Claude
  323. 12:09Code. So, that is the perspective from
  324. 12:12which you need to start seeing how to
  325. 12:14divide your entire business into stages
  326. 12:17, areas, and functions currently
  327. 12:18performed by you or someone else. And
  328. 12:21how can you list the tasks within these
  329. 12:24functions? And now, how can all these
  330. 12:27tasks be performed by agents? Take
  331. 12:29benchmarking, for example—knowing
  332. 12:31what is working in the market. Man, I
  333. 12:34have an agent today that analyzes the
  334. 12:36market in this niche every day and
  335. 12:38shows me the funnels and the players
  336. 12:40that are scaling the most. But not only
  337. 12:44that, I have another skill in there
  338. 12:46with a copy agent that can create an
  339. 12:48entire new funnel, from ad ideas to all
  340. 12:51the quizzes used and sales pages. And I
  341. 12:54just need to approve it and set a test
  342. 12:56to run. So that is the workflow you
  343. 12:58should follow and think about to build
  344. 13:00a one-person business, the famous "
  345. 13:02one-person business." Of course, in
  346. 13:04theory, that name sounds great. But in
  347. 13:06practice, you see that you have to
  348. 13:08apply this knowledge and concept in
  349. 13:11stages. It’s not impossible to do,
  350. 13:14but I am certain, at least according to
  351. 13:16my forecast, that in the coming months,
  352. 13:18I will have a business capable of
  353. 13:20hitting at least 1 million reais per
  354. 13:22month, orchestrated solely by me and a
  355. 13:24series of AI agents. So this video was
  356. 13:27a sort of roadmap for you to understand
  357. 13:29what the CEOs of OpenAI and Anthropic
  358. 13:31meant when they talked about
  359. 13:32billion-dollar companies run by a
  360. 13:34single person. And how you should view
  361. 13:37this path from here on out. Not as
  362. 13:40something miraculous where you press a
  363. 13:42button and suddenly a
  364. 13:43multimillion-dollar business appears in
  365. 13:46front of you. No, but starting from
  366. 13:48validated things you already have,
  367. 13:50seeking to replace all human labor with
  368. 13:52agentic labor, as well as the
  369. 13:53optimization and delivery, of course,
  370. 13:55beyond just the work. And for those
  371. 13:58interested in learning more about
  372. 14:00autonomous AI agents, I have a
  373. 14:01mini-course where I teach you how to
  374. 14:03create your first autonomous AI agent,
  375. 14:05which you can use in your personal life
  376. 14:07for more productivity or apply directly
  377. 14:09to your business today. I will leave
  378. 14:12the link to this training in the video
  379. 14:13description. Remember that we are still
  380. 14:16in the first batch at the time you're
  381. 14:17watching this video, and we might
  382. 14:18increase the price tomorrow with all
  383. 14:20the implementations being added to this
  384. 14:21training. I'll also leave the link to
  385. 14:25the AI Express mentorship below, where,
