Founder Develops 24 AI Systems in Just 3 Days to Substitute “Unprofessional” Staff

A tier-2 city firm founder went viral after allegedly using AI tools to replace multiple employee functions due to staff management frustrations. Product leader Badri Parthasarathy told the tale on X about a buddy of the founder of an AI services company who encountered difficulties when the company expanded rapidly.

The post claims that the firm quickly grew from five personnel to roughly twenty-five. However, expansion also brought with it new difficulties, particularly when it came to overseeing younger employees. According to reports, the creator was dissatisfied with what he called a lack of professionalism. He brought up problems including workers missing deadlines, requesting to work from home without warning, and taking extended breaks during working hours.

“A true account from a buddy of the founder of an AI-based services company in a tier 2 city. Due to insane growth, he quickly scaled up from five to twenty-five employees. However, the post on X stated, “He became extremely irritated with the widespread casual attitude and unprofessionalism of freshers and young (<5 years) employees.”

Additionally, hiring didn’t go as expected. Only ten of the roughly twenty offers were accepted, and only three of them remained. The inventor believed that attitude and willingness to work harder were more important factors than pay or workload.

He chose to go in a different direction since he was frustrated. He worked with Claude and other AI technologies for about 72 hours to automate important aspects of his firm. He created over 24 AI-based systems that currently do operations, sales, and technology-related duties that were previously performed by staff members. Even though he now works long hours—up to 18 hours a day at times—he claims that this is how he prefers to operate the company.

Thanks to Claude, the entrepreneur continues to work 18-hour days to double up as a tech lead, sales lead, and several other responsibilities, but before throwing so many unwelcome tantrums, folks really need to smell the coffee on where AI has already left them in terms of employability,” the piece continued.

This narrative illustrates a developing trend in which some entrepreneurs are depending increasingly on AI rather than employing sizable staff. For instance, it is stated that Eric Vaughan fired about 80% of his employees in 2023 because they refused to adopt AI, and he later declared that he would do the same.

Simultaneously, businesses such as LimeChat are marketing tools that can more affordably replace the labor of several customer support representatives. AI may eventually eliminate the need for massive workforces, according to even major corporations like Amazon and Salesforce.
