Hey, I’m the owner of Clientele NYC — a streetwear, sneaker, and designer resale business with two mall locations, a flagship store opening in NYC, and an ecommerce platform. I’m building an autonomous AI operating system called Apollo. This is not a chatbot or a basic automation. It’s a multi-agent system that runs business operations in the background every night and delivers me an executive briefing every morning. Here’s what the system does: ∙ 9 specialized AI agents (Inventory, Pricing, Marketing, Web, Trend, Finance, CRM, Ops, QA) ∙ A central executive agent called Apollo that coordinates all of them ∙ Nightly scheduled runs that pull business data, analyze it, and produce recommendations ∙ A morning brief delivered to Slack every day ∙ Human approval required before any action is executed ∙ Full audit log and self-improvement loop over time The tech stack is already decided: ∙ Python / asyncio ∙ Anthropic Claude API ∙ PostgreSQL ∙ Slack (Socket Mode) ∙ GitHub Actions for scheduling ∙ MCP (Model Context Protocol) I already have an architecture document, a working main.py, requirements.txt, and a full system spec ready to hand over on day one. You are not starting from zero. What I need from you: ∙ Confirm you have real experience with multi-agent systems and the Claude API specifically ∙ Tell me how you would approach building the agent communication and orchestration layer ∙ Give me your honest timeline and rate for a Phase 1 build If this is in your wheelhouse, I’d like to get on a quick call this week.
