One founder, a laptop, and a squad of Claude Code agents shipping GEO tools - the solo startup just got an engineering team that never sleeps.

Key takeaway agents let a team of one punch like a team of ten.

The AI Corner Ep 44 follows a solo Kiwi founder shipping generative-engine-optimisation (GEO) tools built with Claude Code agents - a walkthrough of how one person orchestrates AI agents to do the work of a small engineering team.

The “who” and “how” are the story: a single founder, a laptop, and agents doing the heavy lifting on real product. For NZ's startup scene - long on ideas, short on engineers - it's a live example of agentic development letting a team of one punch well above its weight.
