Runs Without Me. You Can Too.

How One Founder Runs 13 Applications with AI Agents

What happens when AI stops answering and starts working?

Frederik von der Heyden runs 13 applications on two servers. He works bootstrapped, without employees, with a system that keeps working while he is already on the next idea. Behind it is not one super-agent but an operating system of AI agents, guard rules, memory and automatic repair. Direction and responsibility stay with the human.

This book is not a forecast. It is the origin story of a system that grew over 14 months in real production, day by day, night by night.

You will learn

  • how AI agents turn from assistants into reliable operators,
  • why control before execution matters more than review after,
  • how a system turns experience into lasting capabilities,
  • how self-healing, memory and several AI models work together,
  • what AI can mean for work, participation, privacy and digital sovereignty,
  • and how to build a safe foundation from day 1 to the end of the first month.

201 pages, 18 chapters in 5 parts, with glossary, evidence appendix and a 30-day blueprint.
