Solopreneur surrounded by 5 AI agents handling prospecting, support, accounting, content, and monitoring
Table of contents

A solopreneur can delegate 5 key tasks to AI agents for less than 100 euros per month: prospecting, customer support, accounting, content creation, and competitive monitoring. That’s the equivalent of 5 virtual employees available 24/7, translating to an average productivity gain of 15 to 20 hours per week without hiring anyone.


Being a solopreneur is amazing. You’re free, you have no boss, you do whatever you want.

Except… you’re also the CEO, the HR department, the coffee intern, the accountant, the salesperson, and customer support. Result: you spend 80% of your time keeping the shop running, and only 20% actually growing it.

The good news? In 2026, you no longer need to hire someone to take the load off. You can recruit an army of robots.

Here are the 5 hats you can (and should) hand off to an AI Agent right now.

1. The Sales Agent (Prospecting)

The problem: Prospecting is like exercise. If you stop, your results tank. But who wants to spend 2 hours a day copy-pasting messages on LinkedIn?

The AI solution: An agent that scrapes your targets, enriches their profiles (email, company, recent news) and writes ultra-personalized outreach.

2. The Support Agent (Customer Service)

The problem: You’re deep in focused work on a client strategy, and ping - a notification: “Where’s my invoice?”, “How do I change my password?”. Focus destroyed.

The AI solution: A smart support agent that handles 80% of simple requests. Cathy, our voice agent, does exactly that: she answers by phone, chat, and WhatsApp, 24/7.

  • She finds the invoice and sends it.
  • She explains the password reset procedure.
  • She only bothers you when it’s actually urgent.

3. The Accounting Agent (Admin)

The problem: End of the month arrives. You have a pile of crumpled receipts and a spreadsheet giving you dirty looks.

The AI solution: Connect a tool like Make or n8n to your inbox and your Drive.

  • When an invoice arrives by email, the AI detects it.
  • It extracts the amount, VAT, and date.
  • It files it in the right Drive folder (“Accounting/February/Suppliers”).
  • It updates your cash flow spreadsheet.

4. The Creator Agent (Content)

The problem: “You need to post on LinkedIn/Twitter/Blog to stay relevant.” Sure, but inspiration doesn’t come on demand.

The AI solution: No, don’t let ChatGPT write your posts (it shows). Use it as a Research and Repurposing Assistant.

  • Made a YouTube video? AI transforms it into a blog post, a Twitter thread, and a LinkedIn post. That’s the principle behind Alison, our Social Media Manager agent.
  • Running low on ideas? Ask your Agent to scan your niche’s news and suggest 5 hot topics.

5. The Monitoring Agent (The Analyst)

The problem: Your market moves fast. If you don’t read everything, you fall behind. If you read everything, you stop working.

The AI solution: An agent that monitors your competitors and strategic keywords.

  • It scans the web (Google, Twitter, Newsletters).
  • Every Monday morning, it sends you a “Digest”: “Here are the 3 key insights from your industry this week.”
  • To understand how to optimize your own visibility in these new AI search engines, read: GEO: How to Show Up on ChatGPT and Perplexity.
