You Already Run AI Workers. You Just Keep Rehiring Them
9 Jul 2026
A new newsletter just hit our subscribers' inboxes.
And honestly, this is the one people kept asking us for.
A few weeks ago we wrote about the team of 23 AI workers supporting The Change Republic. (Here is the article, in case you missed it: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/i-have-23-employees-none-them-human-t%C3%BCnde-lukacs-stnue)
The reply that came back, again and again: this is amazing, but how do I even start?
So this edition answers exactly that.
The big idea: you already run AI workers. You just re-hire them from scratch every time, in a new chat, with fresh instructions, hoping the quality holds. Name the work, and you can hand it over for good.
What is inside:
1. AI Workers Made Simple. How the team started, one tired task at a time, in plain English, with no code.
2. The coach Tünde rebuilt on three dog walks. A working app, from a conversation, while the dog inspected every tree twice.
3. One Last Thing: The Real Bridge. A LinkedIn Live with the amazing Dana Rollinger on 29 July, on AI and leadership, and who it is really for.
Oh, and a copy-paste prompt you are going to love. Drop it into your AI and, in ten minutes, it shows you which of your repeated tasks could become your first standing worker. It is in there.

The next one lands in two weeks.
If you could hand one job to an AI worker tomorrow, which would you give away first?
How to spot your first AI worker
The difference between using AI and running AI workers is smaller than most people think. No code. No platform. Just a decision to stop treating AI like a stranger you brief from zero every morning, and to start treating it like a colleague with a job description.
Here is how my team of 23 grew, one tired task at a time. I noticed a piece of work I kept explaining. I wrote the explanation down once, properly. What the task is, what good looks like, what to never do. That document became the worker. The next time the task came up, I did not brief anyone. I handed it over.
If you want to find your first one, look for three signals:
→ A task you have explained to a chat more than three times
→ A task with a clear definition of done
→ A task that eats an hour a week and gives nothing back
Name that work. Write down how you do it. That is the whole trick.
The point is not to hand everything over. The leaders who get this right keep judgment, relationships, and accountability, and delegate the rest. I wrote about where that line sits in what senior leaders actually need from AI.
