01The challenge
A company with nobody on payroll.
Agents keep getting more capable, and it won't be long until most companies are run singlehandedly by one. Build that agent: one that runs a business on its own.
It makes the decisions
The agent chooses what the business does next, without waiting for someone to sign off.
It runs the operations
The day-to-day work of the business is handled by the agent, not by a team behind it.
It executes on its own
From first decision to finished work, with little to no human input along the way.
02The toolkit
What you build with.
Teams build on the Terac MCP and partner tools, with credits from Whop, Lovable and Exa.
The expert labor MCP. When your agent needs a person, it brings in a verified expert on demand instead of hiring one.

Our host for the day, and the end-to-end API for running a business on the internet.
