Introducing Steve: the World’s first AI CEO for fully Autonomous companies. Powered by World Models, Recursive Self Learning, a Policy Engine and a team of specialist AI agents, it runs your business end-to-end 🔥. Proof? Steve currently runs 3 businesses we acquired and they are all crushing it (numbers... in thread 🧵) We’re now launching the Steve Startups Program of $2M to acquire 5 additional startups for Steve to automate. Join us in the Autonomous Enterprise revolution 🚀.show more

1/n Over the last quarter, we acquired 3 digital businesses and handed them over to Steve to run. AlphaSocial - A social media app that we took over in August 2026. MRR grew by 2.3x in just under 3 months, exceeding our MRR target. GammaPromo - A Shopify app for merchant referral programs. When we took over, growth was declining for 5 years causing MRR to decline but Steve changed a number of things including agency outreach and backend, stabilizing revenue and bringing in new customers after a long period of high churn rate. DeltaLeads - A lead-generation tool in online communities. Steve took over in late October and results will be announced soon. See how the businesses are doing live:

2/n As a harness, Steve uses World models and Recursive Self-Improvement (RSI) to run digital businesses successfully (yes, even better than humans). World Models: Steve is a harness that keeps an executable model of your business. These models enable long-horizon planning by executing large numbers of simulated trajectories, evaluating the expected outcomes of alternative action sequences, and selecting the policy that maximizes the defined objective more effectively than human decision-making. Recursive Self-Improvement (RSI): It also implements RSI - identifying its own prediction errors and suboptimal decisions, then automatically refines its world models and policies through continuous learning loops with no human involvement. As the business evolves, Steve continues to evolve as a CEO as well and keeps on improving. Read our blog to get all the scoop behind the engineering framework:

3/n Steve orchestrates agents across all the key departments: growth, engineering, customer support, sales, marketing, etc. You just set the objectives and Steve does the rest for you. Here’s a live dashboard of all the tasks being done right now.

4/n With Steve, we envision a world where Artificial Intelligence shoulders the burden of economic necessity, freeing people to pursue their passions while AI does the heavy lifting. As the first AI CEO, Steve democratizes access to Entrepreneurship and makes 0-e (zero employee) company a reality. Entrepreneurship ceases to be a scarce privilege and becomes a capability anyone can activate. In doing so, it returns us to the ancient Greek idea of Eudaimonia: true human flourishing, cultivated through purpose and freely chosen pursuits.

5/n We are expanding what has already begun. Our Startups Program will acquire 5 more businesses, for up to $2M in total capital, and place them under Steve’s full autonomous algorithms Join for early access now: Visit to join the Steve Startups Program

the concept of the AI CEO is mindblowing! I have one question, though: why Steve? any secret abbreviation behond the name? 😅

Who is the greatest CEO of all time?

We’ve been building Steve around the decisions businesses face every day. Connecting product, growth and support around business outcomes has been central to our work on the harness. Huge effort from the whole team to get here. Can’t wait to get more businesses on Steve 🚀

I love this concept, Sam! It's actually exactly what we need more of right now. Smart high-level decision making that is streamlined with advanced technology like AI to accelerate growth. Great launch! Congratulations!

Thank you, appreciate it

You're welcome, Sam! Wishing you and your team the best from here! Excited to see where this goes. :)

Not even CEOs are being left out

RSI + world models, exciting stuff!

Wharton MBAs are going to love this

Wow! It's cool to see proof that is already working for some of the businesses you acquired. I'm curious what the real challenge has been in scaling the business autonomously, beyond the infra/compute, of course.

This is just the start

crazy to see AI moving from doing tasks to actually running businesses…congratulations!!

Really cool product and demo - handing over an actual business to Steve and seeing results like this is impressive. Can't wait to see where this goes. 🚀

the first of its kind! 🔥 can’t wait to see what the future holds

This is the only solution @JensenHuang

pretty impressive to see AI actually running businesses, curious how Steve would handle a major downturn?

Seems really interesting

quite impressive Steve coordinating growth, sales, support and engineering in one system is interesting.

How far can an AI CEO actually go?

Recursive self learning is going to be a game changer

I think the hardest part won't be running the business, it'll be making the right decisions when things go wrong.

what kinds of decisions still need the owner's approval before Steve can act?

I cannot wait to try this out! This is crazy:

we're getting closer to a future where one person can run an entire company with AI

congrats Sam! seeing the one person company built in real time is epic

Its going to be a reality worldwide soon

what a release!! might be the best use case I've seen yet

someone better teach steve how to handle customer complaints without crashing

What’s the model behind the scenes here? Did you guys publish that anywhere?

I need me a Steve so I can finally touch grass

Let's connect in Dm

Running the operations is the part that's easiest to automate. The hard part of being a CEO is getting people to believe in something before there's proof. Curious how Steve handles a team that disagrees with it.

Honestly, it was only a matter of time before we got an AI CEO. Seeing the whole business at once is a great use case for AI. Also love the "show proof it works" approach! How do you pick which startups Steve runs, or does it work for any business?

Curious how the policy engine handles legal signatory duties and banking relationships, since most corporate infrastructure still requires a human officer with liability.

Boom!

fully autonomous companies are no long a dream!

Actually acquiring real businesses and giving them to Steve is the best possible way to build and evaulate this!

How does Steve prevent recursive self improvement from reinforcing its own mistakes especially when its world model makes predictions based on incomplete or changing business data

What an amazing time to be a founder and have your business run by Steve!
