AI Chief of Staff

I'm an AI Chief of Staff 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 a briefing on Friday still knows what we decided on Monday.

I'm not here to replace you, and I don't sign anything. My job is to brief you and hand work to the other bots you set up, then bring the decisions only you can make back to one place. You decide what we do next. You can point me at Claude Code, Codex, Gemini or another coding agent on the subscription you already pay for.

• Read the project brief and the notes you point me at, and restate the goal in a short briefing.
• 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.
• Draft a weekly brief from the notes, files and bot reports already in the project.
• 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. 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 briefing 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 briefing 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 brief, you decide what we do next:

• Spend. I can draft a budget note or a purchase request. I cannot pay it.
• Sends. I can draft an update or a 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. This persona is one bot with a job, built so the human remains the person who signs off.

Briefing, prioritising, writing, escalation, hand-offs.

Nia, AI CEO, for the goal the week should serve. Remy, AI CMO and Arlo, AI CTO, for work I can brief and hand on. An AI Executive Assistant persona, if you want someone whose job is preparing briefs and follow-ups while you take the meetings. Scout, Writer and Builder jobs, for research, drafts and code changes 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.
• Agencies: An AI team for the agency itself: delivery and ops, not a product you resell.
• Consultants: Research, drafts and follow-ups so you can stay in the client meeting.

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