One person, 35 AI agents, and $20,000 to $30,000 a month per client

The business

Ravenopus (San Jose, California)

A one-person marketing agency for funded startups and mid-size brands. Founder Linara Bozieva started it in May 2024 after she was laid off from eBay. She says it has made a profit since day one.

The problem

At first she worked with freelancers, but she felt that way of working wasn't efficient. In a normal agency, work waits in line as it passes from one person to the next. "Sometimes, deadlines cannot be met," she says.

The bot or tool

A team of 35 AI agents she built herself

She used Claude, an AI chat tool, to help design the system. She custom-codes her own tech and runs the agents with a tool called Multica.

How they set it up

1. Started with 12 agents that cover the main marketing jobs.
2. Added a new agent each time a client needed something new. Now there are 35.
3. Set it up so no agent can act without her OK.
4. She handles the campaigns that depend on feelings herself. "AI can't feel," she says.

The story doesn't say how long it took to build.

The result

• Clients pay monthly retainers of $20,000 to $30,000.
• Research that might take a month, like finding out what bothers a client's customers, can take one or two days.
• "It depends on the client but usually in a week we have everything ready," she says.
• She estimates she spends under $1,000 a month on AI.

Hours saved

Some month-long research now takes 1 or 2 days

Money made or saved
