Your “Lean Startup” Is Just Understaffed and Your COO Is Quiet-Quitting in Plain Sight

Let’s stop pretending your org chart is “flat by design.” It’s flat because nobody’s been hired in six months and your COO is two Notion tabs away from a full-blown identity crisis. They're not “wearing multiple hats” — they’re holding the entire ops stack together with stolen Zapier hacks, caffeine, and the faint hope that someone else might actually learn how anything works. Spoiler: They won’t.

Q: "How do I integrate AI into my startup without looking like every other idiot with an API key?"

Next, treat your AI like a junior employee with questionable judgment. Would you let an intern send emails to your entire customer base without review? No? Then maybe don't let your AI do it either. Build safeguards, monitoring, and kill switches like you're preparing for the robot apocalypse. Because when (not if) your AI decides to get creative, you'll want more damage control options than "pray and push to production."

Finally, remember that AI is like alcohol – it amplifies what's already there. If your product is trash, AI-powered trash is still trash. Just now it's expensive trash that occasionally tries to write poetry. Focus on building something genuinely useful, then use AI to make it insanely better.

And if you're still thinking about raising your prices just because you integrated ChatGPT? I hope you enjoy explaining to investors why your churn rate looks like a ski slope. Remember: The best AI implementations are like good plastic surgery – if everyone can tell you've done it, you've probably done it wrong.
