What "AI Companies" Really Are: Of 2,716 Posts, Only 16.1% Had Work Flowing Between AI Workers

Description and use

<p>"I run my company with 30 AI employees." Lately I often see posts like this on note and Threads in Japan. Below I write "AI employee" and "AI company" (AI社員 / AI会社 in Japanese).</p> <p>When I first heard "AI company," I pictured something like Paperclip. Paperclip is open-source software that gives AI agents an org chart, assigned work, budgets and approvals. Work drops into an inbox, the worker in charge picks it up and handles it, hands the next piece to another worker, and moves on to the next item. As someone who runs a systems development company, that is what I imagined a company made
