6 Must-Have AI Agents for Solopreneurs

If you're solo, AI agents are your headcount. These 6 cover 80% of the operational work.

1. Inbox triage agent

Reads incoming email, categorizes (urgent / needs reply / can wait / spam / newsletter), drafts replies for review. Tool: Superhuman AI ($30/mo) or Shortwave (free + Pro tier)

2. Research agent

Give it a company/person name, returns a 1-page brief in 30 seconds. Tool: Perplexity Pro ($20/mo) or your own (see our LangChain agent tutorial)

3. Scheduling agent

Handles the back-and-forth of meeting scheduling. Tool: Reclaim.ai (free) or Motion ($34/mo)

4. Content repurposing agent

You write one long post; it makes Twitter threads, LinkedIn versions, newsletter sections. Tool: Castmagic ($29/mo) or build with our n8n template

5. Customer support agent

Reads incoming messages, drafts answers based on your docs/FAQ. Tool: Pylon (free for solo) or Intercom Fin

6. Bookkeeping agent

Categorizes transactions, flags anomalies, generates P&L. Tool: Puzzle ($150/mo) or QuickBooks AI

Total stack cost

~$80-200/month covers all 6. Vs $4K-10K/month for a part-time ops person.

What to do this week

Pick the 1 that maps to your biggest time-suck. Install it. Live with it for 2 weeks. Then add the next.

Don't try to install all 6 at once — none will work properly.
