Over the years I’ve worked with people like

Sam OvensNeil PatelAgora FinancialRyan DeissFrank KernMike Dillardand Grace Lever

to scale their sales with Meta ads.

Then
35person team
$150kmonthly payroll
10-15hour days

It used to take me 10-15 hour days to manage a 35 person team with $150k/month in payroll to serve our 25 client accounts.

Now
1me + my AI workforce
8accounts: mine + 7 clients
~20hours per week

Today I run my own ads and those of 7 clients in about 20 hours per week.

And my team is delivering the highest quality of work we've ever done and getting our clients the results they want at spends up to $400,000 per month.

I accomplished this by building a new model with an AI workforce to do all the jobs I used to need 35 people to do. Today I run my entire agency with zero employees and $0 payroll.

I call this model, The Agentcy of One.

Now before you get all up in arms and think I fired my entire team and replaced them with AI, that didn't happen. But that's a story for another day...

The reason I'm here is I got all excited about the results my AI workforce gets and showed The Agentcy of One to some friends who are agency owners. They both about crapped their pants and asked me how they could send me money!

Then I started looking around and realized there's a lot of people running ads that could use my AI workforce too. However, I ran into a problem.

This goddamn thing sounds too good to be true, especially to people that don't know me from a hole in the wall.

So I put this overly wordy, overly demonstrative page together to ideally give you an overwhelming sense of security knowing that my AI team produces work you can put your name behind.

$130 days

And if you feel so inclined to test out my AI team, I took all the risk and put it on my shoulders by offering you the ability to rent my team over the next 30 days for a single dollar and you can get your money back if you don't like any part of this after you check it out.

Imagine having an entire marketing operation working on your business without adding a bunch of people to payroll, waiting days for every revision, or paying thousands of dollars for work my AI workforce can handle.

That's what you're plugging into. Once you've connected your business and given the workforce the information it needs, it can help create ads, funnels, emails, SMS, and social content using your business information, with your feedback and approval built into the process.

Don’t Take My Word for It. Look at the Work.

There are a million AI products out there promising to revolutionize your marketing.

I'm not asking you to believe another one of those promises.

I'd rather let you look at what my AI workforce actually produces.

I've put together demonstration campaigns so you can inspect the ads, explore the funnels, read the emails, and watch the videos yourself.

And here's the part I think is especially interesting: these aren't just random pieces of marketing content. You can see how my AI workforce coordinates the work across different teams to build a complete campaign.

05 · Setup in 4 steps

Plug Into My AI Workforce in 4 Simple Steps.

You don't need to build an AI system. You don't need to train agents. And you don't need to spend your weekend figuring out complicated automations.

My AI workforce is already built, trained, and running my agency.

You just connect your business to it.

STEP 1 OF 4

Connect Your Meta Ads.

Connect your Meta ad account, Facebook Page, and pixel so my AI workforce can review your campaigns and get to work.

Already have your Meta conversion tracking connected through your CRM? Great. Keep using it.

If you haven't configured Meta's Conversions API yet, I provide instructions to help you get it set up through your CRM.

My AI workforce uses the information from your connected accounts to analyze performance and recommend improvements.

Each step has its own illustrated instructions, and the setup wizard checks your connections before letting you move forward. If something isn't right, it tells you what needs fixing.

There's even an AI setup assistant that knows exactly where you are in the process. You can ask questions, share screenshots, and get help without having to figure everything out yourself.

And if you still get stuck, a real person from my team can step in.

As soon as setup is complete, Mission Control unlocks and my AI workforce automatically starts auditing your Meta ad account.

You own your accounts and your data. Nothing gets installed in any of your systems without your approval first.

Your Accounts. Your Money. Your Approval.

Handing an AI the keys to your marketing should make you ask how it's kept in check. Here's exactly what it can and can't do.

It never sees your payment details.

My software never asks for, reads or stores your card or bank details. You pay me through Stripe's secure checkout, and your ad spend is billed by the ad platform to your own card.

Ad money only moves with your approval.

My AI workforce can't launch a campaign, raise a budget or scale anything until you tap Approve. When you do, the ad platform bills you directly.

Your AI costs run on your own accounts.

The work it does for you runs on your own Claude and OpenAI accounts. You pay those companies directly and can set your own spending limits with them.

Your connections are locked down.

Every account key you connect is encrypted with AES-256 and only used to do the work for your business.

06 · Behind the scenes

Here's What My Entire AI Workforce Actually Costs to Run.

I track every dollar my operation spends on AI, including all our AI usage and monthly plans.

From October 2 to 8, we were spending $38.74 a day.

After I built token optimization into our software, that dropped to $8.27 a day from October 10 to 13.

That's 79% less.

Here's how we cut the waste:

  • No unnecessary work. Agents only run when something changes, instead of repeating the same work every 10 minutes.
  • The right AI for the job. Simple tasks use less expensive models. The powerful ones are saved for work that needs them.
  • Stop paying twice. Repeated instructions get reused instead of processed again.

That's roughly $30 a day we were wasting. For context, a Single membership costs about $4.90 a day.

If you're already running your own AI agents, the tokens this system saves you could pay for your membership.

And because you pay your AI providers directly, we don't mark up your usage.

There’s 3 Ways This AI Workforce Can Pay for Itself.

I'm not suggesting you fire your marketing team or get rid of good people. Quite the opposite. If you've already got great people, my AI workforce can make them a whole lot more productive.

1

Cut Unnecessary Operating Expenses.

  • Reduce what you pay agencies, freelancers, or contractors for work my AI workforce can handle.
  • Drop overlapping tracking, analytics, reporting, and production subscriptions.
  • Consolidate responsibilities under your strongest people.
  • Run a leaner operation without sacrificing the quality of the work.
2

Get More Out of the Good People You've Already Got.

  • Your best marketing person oversees work that used to require several specialists.
  • They review work, make decisions, and move projects forward.
  • Launch more campaigns and test more ideas without increasing payroll at the same rate.
3

Create More Revenue Without Building Another Department.

  • Connect multiple client businesses with the Multi-Account Membership.
  • Offer funnels, email and SMS follow-up, social content, or conversion optimization.
  • Serve existing clients and take on new ones without building a new department.

You don't have to benefit from all three to make the membership worthwhile. The point is to look at how my AI workforce can improve the economics of your particular business.

Still sounds too good to be true? Prove me wrong for a buck. Cancel with one click and your dollar comes back.

08 · Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some other things that might be on your mind.

Do I have to get rid of my marketing team to use this?

Absolutely not. If you've got good people, keep them. My AI workforce can help them oversee more work, move faster, and spend more time on strategy and decisions instead of doing every repetitive production task themselves. Some businesses may use it to reduce outside expenses or consolidate unnecessary roles, but that's not a requirement or the point of the product.

Is this just another AI tool that spits out generic marketing copy?

No. My AI workforce uses specialized AI models coordinated through trained marketing workflows, research processes, and multiple stages of review. These are built around the advertising systems I use in my own agency. That doesn't mean every first draft will be perfect. It means the work goes through a process designed to improve quality rather than relying on one generic prompt.

Do I need to know how to code?

No. The guided setup wizard walks you through connecting your accounts, and each step includes illustrated instructions. You'll need access to your Meta account, CRM, server, and AI API accounts, but you don't need to build or train the AI workforce yourself.

Do I need to replace my CRM or server?

You'll connect your existing supported CRM and server to my AI workforce. The setup process will show you the required connections and permissions. Nothing gets installed in your systems without your approval.

Will it start spending my advertising budget or publishing things without asking me?

No. You stay in control of approvals for publishing, installation, and advertising spend through Mission Control.

Can I still make changes to the work?

Of course. You can review what my AI workforce produces, request revisions, and approve the work before it goes live.

What if I already have an agency or marketing employee?

You can keep them. My AI workforce can support the people already managing your marketing, helping them produce and oversee more work. You don't have to choose between your existing team and the workforce.

Are Claude and OpenAI included in the membership?

You connect your own Claude and OpenAI API accounts and pay those providers directly for your usage. I don't mark up those charges. API accounts are separate from ordinary consumer ChatGPT or Claude subscriptions.

Can I send reports to my clients?

Yes. My AI workforce can prepare daily, weekly, or monthly performance reports comparing results with the previous period. They're ready to share with clients or your internal team, without somebody having to build the reports manually.

Where does the revenue number come from?

Revenue comes from payments recorded in your connected CRM or amounts you enter yourself. That means you're looking at the sales your business has actually recorded, rather than relying only on what Meta attributes to your ads.

Do I still need separate tracking and reporting software?

Maybe not. My AI workforce already brings together Meta campaign data, CRM leads, recorded revenue, funnel analysis, and scheduled reporting. Depending on the features you use in your existing tools, you may be able to eliminate overlapping subscriptions.

Does my AI workforce set up Meta's Conversions API for me?

No. If you've already configured Conversions API through your CRM, you can keep using it. If you haven't, I provide instructions to help you configure it. My AI workforce uses the data available through your connected systems to analyze results and recommend improvements.

Are there any other costs?

Your membership covers access to my AI workforce. Your advertising spend, AI usage, CRM, server hosting, email/SMS delivery, and other third-party services are separate. You'll see the membership pricing before checkout.

Can I use this with multiple clients?

Yes. The Multi-Account Membership supports up to 10 business accounts once your membership starts. During the $1 trial, you connect one. Need more? Add business accounts for $25 per month each.

Can I have more than one person using it?

Yes. Each membership includes one user seat, and additional seats are $10 per month each.

What if I get stuck during setup?

Every step includes screenshot instructions and an AI setup assistant that can help troubleshoot connection issues. If you still need assistance, my support team can follow up and help you get connected.

What happens when my trial ends?

Your selected membership begins automatically on Day 30 at $149 or $299 per month unless you've canceled before renewal. The membership continues month to month until canceled.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. You can cancel through Mission Control. There's no annual commitment.

What if I try it and decide it isn't for me?

Cancel during your trial in Mission Control and I'll automatically refund your $1. Anything you buy in your first 30 days is covered by my 30-day money-back guarantee. After your first 30 days, all sales are final, and you can turn off billing yourself anytime in Mission Control.

You already know what it costs to hire good marketing people, pay an agency, or spend your own time trying to get everything done.

You're getting access to the AI workforce I've built and trained using the same marketing frameworks and processes I use in my own agency, without having to hire me to personally manage your account.

Connect your accounts, watch the first audit start, give it some real work, and decide whether you want it working for your business every month.

ABOUT JASON

The AI Workforce Is New. What It’s Doing Isn’t.

I’ve been doing this for more than 20 years.

The processes underneath The Agentcy of One come from systems and methodologies developed through more than $121 million in managed ad spend and work across more than 158 client accounts since 2009.

What’s changed isn’t which important decisions require human judgment.

What’s changed is who’s carrying the execution underneath those decisions, how fast that execution can happen and how much human time it takes to keep the work moving.

And this isn’t sitting in a lab waiting for someone to test it.

The AI workforce is already carrying work across live advertising accounts, including accounts for my own agency clients.

On individual client accounts, it’s being used in advertising operations spending as much as $400,000 a month.

More than $23 million of managed spend since August 2023. Three accounts alone. Same date range on all three. Account names cropped out.
90 client ad accounts I still have access to today. Current and past clients. Other past clients have removed my access over the years, which is why this screenshot doesn’t represent all 158+ client accounts I’ve worked with since 2009. Client names blurred.

My numbers, not a projection of yours.
