An AI agent is software that uses an AI model to do a job, where a chat assistant only answers a question. It can read, decide, draft and act across your email, calendar, files and business systems, on a schedule or when something happens, and it comes back to a person when a decision is needed.
Stanislaus Martins designs, builds and hands over private AI agents for professionals and businesses in Nigeria and across Africa: founders and CEOs, lawyers, doctors and clinic owners, bankers, consultants, real estate professionals, agency leaders and senior executives. He runs his own working week on two agents.
Agent roles include chief of staff, sales development, client success, finance assistant, research analyst, content and operations.
Sensitive work can run on open models on the client's own machines so no data leaves the building. Cloud agents use the business terms of the major AI providers, which by default do not train on customer data. Everything is set up in the client's name, with the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023 in mind.
Agents can run in the cloud, on your own devices using open models so no data leaves the building, or as a hybrid. You talk to them on WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Microsoft Teams or email, and decide exactly what each one can access.
Every setup includes least access, human approval before anything leaves in your name, a written rulebook, a full activity log, spending caps and a kill switch.
Ways in: Personal Chief of Staff for individuals, an Agent Pilot for one role and workflow, or an Agent Team across departments.
