How to Build AI Employees That Work On a Schedule | Twin
Build your AI employees at https://twin.so/?via=jon-law
While I was asleep at 8am, an AI agent found 20 brand new e-commerce companies, dug up the founders' contact info, wrote each of them a personalized cold email, sent those emails, logged everything in a CRM, and dropped a summary into Slack. I didn't write a line of code. I described what I wanted in one prompt on a platform called Twin, and it built the whole system for me. In this video I break down the debate between AI chatbots and rigid workflow tools like n8n, Zapier, and Make.com, and show why Twin aims for the best of both: an autonomous agent that figures out the steps, connects to your apps, and keeps running on a schedule even when your laptop is closed. I walk through two full builds live and no code. Demo one is an automated cold email SDR that sources leads and emails founders daily. Demo two is a daily AI market research briefing agent that pulls from dozens of sources and delivers a formatted report to my inbox. I also cover the 27 native integrations, browser automation for tools without an API, agent memory and scheduling, webhook and Slack triggers, the credit-based pricing, and exactly which tasks you should automate first for the highest return. By the end you'll know how to build AI employees that work while you sleep, for your own business or for clients.
