Skyfall AI launches Steve, an AI CEO that runs acquired startups
Overview
Skyfall AI launches Steve, which it calls the world's first AI CEO for fully autonomous companies.
Skyfall says Steve runs three businesses it acquired since August, and that AlphaSocial grew from $3,600 to $8,100 MRR in three months. A newer report from Rohan Paul describes Steve as a team of AI agents handling support, marketing and code changes, with a human owner approving major decisions, and says it grew one social media app's MRR 2.3x in under three months. Skyfall says it is also launching a $2M Steve Startups Program to acquire five more businesses for Steve to automate.
Steve is built on world models, recursive self-learning, a policy engine and specialist AI agents. Skyfall says the agent forecasts how decisions could affect a business before acting and updates its approach from past results. These performance claims come from Skyfall and have not been independently verified. François Chollet calls acquiring distressed SaaS apps and handing them to an agent harness the ultimate real-world eval, but his comment is his own assessment and does not verify Skyfall's claims.
