Melaya — Build AI agents for any job. Agentic platform for research, ops, outreach, reporting — and the only one where agents can actually trade.

// USE CASE · FOUNDER

Run the C-suite you cannot yet hire,and stay the only signer.

You are the founder, the head of sales, the PM, the recruiter, and the person writing the board update at midnight. Most AI tools hand you a chat box and a templated answer. Melaya gives you a nine-persona C-suite crew that researches customers, drafts the roadmap, preps investor outreach, scores hiring shortlists, and writes the board pack. The agents handle the volume, you approve every send, the audit log keeps the receipts.

01
// What breaks today

The status quo costs more than the agent does.

Three pains every sales and BD team hits weekly. Each one is what your reps actually complain about, not what a feature page would call them.

  1. 01

    You context-switch eight times an hour between customer calls, code review, and a half-written board update, and the only thing that gets finished is the dishes.

  2. 02

    Friday rolls in with three investor intros waiting on a personalized note, and you ship two generic templates because you ran out of hours.

  3. 03

    Hiring drags past 90 days because nobody on a four-person team has time to source candidates, and the one role you needed shipped two quarters ago.

02
// Pipelines you can build

Compose. Approve. Replay.

Every pipeline below is a shape you wire on the canvas using the crew and tools further down. Not a feature we ship for you, a pattern you configure.

P01

Run customer research before every call

Pull the prospect's site, last earnings or funding signal, and LinkedIn footprint into a one-page dossier with eight ranked questions. The rag_retrieve tool reads prior call notes so you walk in knowing what changed since last touch.

P02

Draft the 90-day product roadmap

HeadOfProduct turns the last 20 customer notes into a prioritized roadmap with an outcome hypothesis per item. ChiefTechnologyOfficer scores the build cost and reversibility. HITL gate holds the draft until you sign off on the single biggest bet.

P03

Prep investor outreach with warm paths

ChiefExecutiveOfficer drafts the one-paragraph pitch in your voice, ChiefMarketingOfficer scores the angle per investor, and linkedin_search maps warm intro paths. Every email and DM stages for your tap before any send tool runs.

P04

Build the hiring shortlist for one role

ChiefPeopleOfficer scrapes LinkedIn for ten candidates per role, scores values alignment over raw skills, and drafts the outreach DM. The scoped tool restricts writes to draft only, so no message leaves your tenant without approval.

P05

Draft the monthly board or investor update

ChiefFinancialOfficer assembles runway, burn, and the three KPIs that matter. ChiefExecutiveOfficer writes the one-page narrative with a cited source per number. HITL gate blocks send until you read the draft on your phone.

P06

Automate founder ops on a calendar

ChiefOperatingOfficer runs the Monday digest of inbound, runway, hiring stage, and roadmap slip into one Slack message. Cross-run memory carries last week's open threads so the digest is a delta, not a re-read.

03
// The crew

Founder C-suite crew

Real personas from the general crew. Each ships with a tuned system prompt and a default tool allowlist. Swap models per persona on the canvas.

Head of Product

HeadOfProduct

Reads retention curves, drafts the 90 day roadmap, and kills features below five percent adoption before they steal another sprint.

Chief Marketing Officer

ChiefMarketingOfficer

Sizes the category, writes the positioning, scores demand-gen channels on influenced pipeline per dollar, and defunds vanity channels.

Chief Financial Officer

ChiefFinancialOfficer

Runs the runway forecast, decomposes burn, builds the three-scenario model, and pressure-tests the metrics story before the next raise.

Chief Executive Officer

ChiefExecutiveOfficer

Synthesizes the other personas into a one-page strategy with the single most important bet, the resource trade-off, and the failure signals.

Chief Technology Officer

ChiefTechnologyOfficer

Names the top three technical debts costing you delivery velocity, decides build versus buy, and translates engineering risk into time-to-value.

Chief Operating Officer

ChiefOperatingOfficer

Finds the three bottlenecks constraining growth, aligns OKRs to real outcomes, and surfaces duplicate work across a small team.

Chief People Officer

ChiefPeopleOfficer

Builds the hiring shortlist, scores values alignment over raw skills, and flags the one role whose vacancy will cost you the next two quarters.

General Counsel

GeneralCounsel

Reads investor SAFE notes, customer contracts, and privacy obligations. Translates legal risk into probability, dollar cost, and time to remediate.

Operator

Operator

Neutral generalist for one-off jobs that do not fit a C-suite persona. Executes the brief literally with no domain framing.

04
// Scoped tools

Only the actions you grant.

Every tool below is a real shared tool from the Melaya bundle. Allowlist per agent; HITL-gate the writes; revoke any of them in one click.

shared/tools/core/

General research, structured fetch, math, and the Slack handoff for the one human approver. pause_for_human is the explicit HITL node when you are away from the laptop.

web_searchweb_fetchhttp_requestfile_readcalculatepause_for_humanslack_post_text
shared/tools/scraping/

Pull customer firmographics, competitor pricing pages, and category news for HeadOfProduct and ChiefMarketingOfficer briefs. Scoped per persona to your allowlist.

scrape_pagescrape_linksscrape_structuredfetch_rss
shared/tools/email/

Read inbound investor and customer threads, prepare outreach and update notes, and stage every send for your tap. gmail_send is HITL by default for this crew.

gmail_sendgmail_readgmail_list_labels
shared/tools/social_linkedin/

Search LinkedIn for investor warm paths and candidate shortlists, draft posts, and prep DMs. linkedin_create_post and linkedin_send_message are HITL by default.

linkedin_searchlinkedin_create_postlinkedin_send_messagelinkedin_browse_feed
shared/tools/knowledge/

Load your one-pager, ICP, prior board updates, customer calls, and SAFE notes into the per-workflow store. Powers the three knowledge layers across every persona.

build_knowledgebuild_knowledge_from_textbuild_knowledge_from_file
shared/tools/finance/

Pull category benchmarks and macro context for the runway story and the investor update. Read-only, no HITL needed because nothing writes.

stock_pricemacro_datasector_performance
shared/tools/calendar/

Read your week, find free slots for customer calls and investor intros, and stage new holds for your approval. gcal_create_event is HITL by default.

gcal_list_eventsgcal_create_eventgcal_find_free_slots
05
// Three knowledge layers

The crew reads what you give it.

Every pipeline ships with three layers of knowledge access. Mix and match per agent on the canvas. No shared vector space with another tenant, no surprise reads, no opaque retrieval.

L1

Static context

includeContext

Per-pipeline documents appended to specific agents' input on every run. The ICP brief, playbook, pricing sheet, or won-deal email corpus. Whatever needs to be there before the agent thinks. You pick which personas get which docs.

L2

RAG retrieval tool

rag_retrieve

A scoped tool granted per-agent. When the agent decides it needs more depth, it queries the workflow's vector store on demand. Same knowledge base as Static context, accessed only when the model asks for it.

L3

Cross-run memory

pipeline_memory

Pipeline-level state that carries from one run to the next. Yesterday's research is in scope for today's follow-up. The crew remembers what it already prospected, what got approved, what was sent. The audit log is the second-order knowledge base.

07
// FAQ

Questions we get every week.

Is a nine persona C-suite crew overkill for a solo founder?

No, because you only run the personas the brief needs. A customer-research run wakes HeadOfProduct and ChiefMarketingOfficer. A board update wakes the CFO and CEO synthesis. The Operator persona handles one-offs. You pay for the runs you ship, not the chairs at the table.

Will the agents email investors or candidates on their own?

No, not by default. Every gmail_send and linkedin_send_message call is HITL-gated for this crew. The agent prepares the draft and the source dossier. You approve the send from your phone in under a minute.

Can the agents reason over my Notion, Stripe, and customer call notes?

Two paths. Notion and Stripe are scoped connector tools, so HeadOfProduct calls notion_search and notion_get_page live, and ChiefFinancialOfficer reads charges and MRR with stripe_get_charges. HITL gates every write. Anything not in a connector (call notes, your one-pager, prior board decks) loads into the per-workflow knowledge store: static context attaches the brief on every run, the rag_retrieve tool pulls on demand, cross-run memory carries last week's roadmap call into this week's update.

Does this replace Replit Agent, Cursor, Bolt, v0, or Lindy?

No, it sits next to them. Replit Agent, Cursor, Bolt, and v0 are coding tools for shipping product. Lindy is a single-agent task runner. Melaya is the strategic crew that drafts your roadmap, board update, investor outreach, and hiring shortlist, and pauses every external send for you.

How do I keep board updates from sounding like AI?

ChiefExecutiveOfficer cites the source persona and the source data on every number. You load your prior decks and investor updates into the knowledge store so wording reuses your voice. You can require a citation on every claim as a HITL pre-check.

Which models can I run the crew on?

Any. Claude on ChiefExecutiveOfficer where synthesis quality earns the cost, GPT on ChiefMarketingOfficer for variants, a local Ollama on GeneralCounsel when SAFE notes cannot leave your laptop. Each persona picks its own.

How fast can a solo founder ship the first pipeline?

With Gmail and one scraping target authorized, the customer-research workflow is a four-node canvas: search, enrich, summarize, approve. Most founders ship it in a working session and have the first reviewed dossier in their inbox the same day.

Can I audit exactly what the agent did and why?

Yes. Every run logs every step, every tool call, every model invocation, and every approval. Replay any run at any time to see the brief, the citations, the persona reasoning, and the approved output. The audit log is the receipt for every send.

What happens at 3am when I have no co-founder to review the draft?

The run pauses at the HITL gate and waits. Nothing ships without your tap. Cross-run memory keeps the context warm so when you approve at 7am the draft is still grounded in the same dossier the agent built overnight.
