Why automations are the second unlock for solo founders using AI agents

The core idea is to look at every recurring meeting or check-in you used to do with your team — whether weekly or daily — and turn it into an automation. Instead of manually reviewing something on a schedule, you go to your agent, start a session, and say: 'I want you to automate this task every X amount of days.' The big unlock is setting up agents so that they can make themselves better, rather than you constantly trying to build and maintain these systems yourself. This shifts your role from doer to manager of an automated system.
