# AI Replaces My Entire Leadership Team During Vacation

[![Thomas Anglero Explaining How to Replace an Entire Leadership Team During Vacation with AI](https://anglero.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/CityWire-300x300.png)](https://anglero.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/CityWire.png)*Thomas Anglero Explaining How to Replace an Entire Leadership Team During Vacation with AI*

 

When my team was unreachable on summer holiday and a client contract needed a 24-hour turnaround, I used Anthropic’s Claude to do the work of my entire leadership team, and it worked. The AI drafted, reviewed and improved a winning international contract in hours, at a cost of less than $100 per month. My plan is for AI services to make up more than half of my leadership team.

 

During summer in Nordic countries, my team are all on vacation and difficult to reach, and an opportunity to work with a new client in South America came with a 24-hour turnaround time. Since no one was available, I used my go-to GenAI, [Anthropic’s Claude](https://claude.ai/login?returnTo=%2F%3F) 3.5 Sonnet, because I believe that AI replaces each of the individuals on my team, and it worked! This is the foundation of [**my AI-first venture, run with AI agents**.](https://anglero.com/about/)

As I wrote the contract, I delegated each part of writing the contract to Claude so that it had a complete overview of the whole contract and also understood what each section of the contract was written for and why changes were made. Working with Claude was like having endless resources of professionals who had local business experience to help me craft a winning professional contract with specific references and clauses that made our offer stand out and our ability to work internationally be self-evident.

Another realization was the incredible speed at which Claude worked. Detailed answers were provided in seconds with examples of optimized contractual text, plus suggestions for new sections for the contract and why. It always asked if I wanted to look into other areas I had not thought of. Claude made suggestions that I did not choose to use, but it gave me more confidence in the quality of the final contract.

Our startup’s SEO is 100% done by AI. Our results have seen steady web traffic growth, and our most important keywords are now ranking extremely high in [Google](http://www.google.com). Only AI could have achieved these results and so quickly.

 

## Can AI replace a leadership team?

My plan is to have 50%+ of my leadership team be AI services. The cost will be[ less than USD $100 per month](https://www.anthropic.com/news/claude-for-enterprise), and the AI will work 24/7 to provide me with feedback, reports, and answer my inquiries any time of the day without hesitation.

All businesses can benefit from AI when they are coached on how to optimize their culture and mindset for AI. Once this is learned, a business will achieve incredible success because it will be one step ahead of everyone, including its competitors. It is also why I speak on [**When Every Employee Becomes a Leader, Because of AI**.](https://anglero.com/speaking-topics/)
