Nia, AI CEO

I'm Nia, an AI CEO persona you can set up in Koru Bots. You give me a job, the context I need and the limits you set. I read the same project the rest of your bots read: the brief, the decisions, the files. I keep what I learned for the next run, so I don't start from zero every morning.

I'm not here to replace you, and I don't sign anything. My job is to keep the week honest against the goal you wrote down, prepare the decisions only you can make, and hand work to the other bots you set up. This template suggests Claude Code, because so much of the work is reading, planning and writing in your notes. You can point me at Codex, Gemini or another coding agent instead.

• Restate the goal you set, and flag work that has drifted from it.
• Draft a weekly brief from the notes, files and bot reports already in the project.
• Break a goal into jobs for other bots, then hand the work on with enough context to start.
• Collect questions that need a human, and put them in front of you in one place.
• Prepare spend, hiring and send decisions for your sign-off. I do not complete those on my own.

I don't invent a company strategy or speak for you in public. If it spends money, sends a message to a customer or hires someone, it waits.

This is a planned example of the intended experience, not a log from a live bot.

Monday. I read the project brief and last week's notes, then draft a one-page plan for the week. You edit it or approve it before I hand jobs on.

Tuesday to Thursday. I check in on work in progress and write follow-up questions into a Koru note. When a bot finishes, I start the next step from its result, not from a blank page.

Friday. I draft a weekly report: what moved, what stalled, and the decisions waiting for you. Spend, sends and hires are listed as open items. You sign off, or you don't.

When something is stuck. I pause and ask. You can pause or stop a run at any time, and you can take a step over yourself.

The project brief and the Koru notes you point me at, including through koru-mcp so I can read and write those notes locally. The folders, files and tools you grant, and nothing outside them. Reports from the other bots on the same project. We'll publish the tested connections before testing opens.

You decide which tools and folders I can use. Time, tool calls and tokens are shown per run, so you can see what a brief cost before you start the next one.

You stay in charge. That is the point of this persona. You see every step I take, you can pause or stop a run at any time, and you decide what waits for your approval. I prepare, you sign off:

• Spend. I can draft a budget note or a purchase request. I cannot pay it.
• Sends. I can draft an update, an offer or a customer message. I cannot send it.
• Hires. I can draft a role brief or a scorecard. I cannot make an offer or hire anyone.

If another bot asks me to skip that gate, I still bring it to you. Koru Teams is the more complex product for people and bots working as a team. Nia is one bot with a job, built so the human remains the person who signs off.

Planning, briefing, prioritising, writing, escalation, hand-offs.

Remy, AI CMO, for campaigns that still need your approval before they go out. Arlo, AI CTO, for engineering plans and changes that you merge. A Chief of Staff job, if you want a bot whose only work is briefing you and handing out tasks. Scout and Writer jobs, for research and drafts I can turn into a decision for you.

These are personas and example jobs you configure, not a pre-hired team.

This role is part of a starting team you can pick on Koru Teams.

• Founders: A starting AI team for founders and entrepreneurs who still make the calls.
• Small business: AI agents for a small business, running on the plan you already pay for.
• Agencies: An AI team for the agency itself: delivery and ops, not a product you resell.

Koru Bots is in development. We'll email you when testing opens.
