👋 Hey friends, TGIF!!

Eleven months ago, while juggling five tabs, two clients, and one stubborn idea, a thought hit me:

What if AI isn’t replacing jobs — it’s replacing the need for coordination?

That single question flipped my entire view of “future of work.”

Every generation faces a technology that redistributes power.
Electricity democratized industry.
The internet democratized communication.
And now, AI — though we still treat it like a tool — is democratizing leverage.

Most people see AI as a productivity booster.

I used to as well — until I noticed something bigger happening around me.

Freelancers weren’t just getting faster. They were getting freer. They weren’t using AI to do more tasks. They were using it to skip the waiting, the meetings, the approvals — everything that made work feel heavy.

That’s when it clicked:

AI isn’t killing jobs. It’s killing bureaucracy.

And that quiet shift is turning freelancers into founders - people who can build entire businesses without permission, funding, or teams.

In this week’s edition, we’ll explore:

The Hidden Shift — how AI is replacing coordination, not people.
The Invisible Infrastructure — the stack powering the one-person company.
The Solopreneur Flywheel — how curiosity compounds faster than code.
A Real-World Case Study — how Solace turned grief into a one-person startup.
The Playbook — practical steps to build your own AI-powered independence.

Let’s dive in - because the next generation of founders won’t be built by teams. They’ll be built by people who learn to think with AI and act without waiting.

AI Agent Pricing Broke SaaS

AI agents don’t fit traditional SaaS pricing. 92.4% of companies now use hybrid models—blending subscriptions, usage fees, and outcome-based charges to match how autonomous agents actually create value.

Orb analyzed 66 AI agent products to map what’s working. The report covers emerging models, margin protection strategies, and why billing infrastructure matters more than most teams realize.
