Alright, let's Talk AI.

We're switching it up. I'll be sending shorter blurbs and ideas throughout the week, then posting my full newsletter on LinkedIn. After a week, I'll send out a poll to see if you guys prefer this new format.

Let’s get into it.

The Drop

What the hell is an Autonomous Organization?

Here’s the cleanest definition I know.

An Autonomous Organization is a company where every human has leverage because every human has Cloud Employees working for them.

Not tools.
Not dashboards.
Not “AI features.”

Actual digital teammates that own specific jobs.

They run the repetitive, rules-based, operational work that used to soak up human time. Humans stay focused on judgment calls, creativity, leadership, and relationships. The work that actually moves the business.

This is a different operating system. At Signals, we’re building the company this way on purpose.

Every department has Cloud Employees sitting directly alongside humans. Sales, marketing, customer success, product, finance, HR, support. Each one owns a defined outcome, not a vague “assist” role. They execute continuously, don’t get tired, and compound over time.

Are we fully there yet? No.

But this is the org chart we review every week. This is the structure we design against. Every new workflow, every hire, every bottleneck gets evaluated through the same question: should a human be doing this, or should a Cloud Employee own it?

And instead of talking about this like some abstract future state, I wanted to make it concrete.

Below is the actual org map. You’ll see exactly how Cloud Employees sit next to humans, who they support, and what they own across the company.

This isn’t a vision deck. It’s the model we’re actively building toward.

If you want the deeper breakdown of every role and how it works in practice, I put the full write-up here.

That’s it for today. Connect with me on Linkedin if you actually want to understand what an Autonomous Organization looks like in the real world.
