Yes — I've been running this for my solo SaaS company since January. Not a side project, it's the actual business operations layer.
Similar architecture to yours but I went with specialized agents instead of a single orchestrator + sub-agent split. I have a COO agent that coordinates everything, plus dedicated agents for marketing (writes and posts tweets autonomously via scheduler), accounting (IVA/tax compliance — I'm in Portugal so this is non-trivial), CFO for pricing, CTO for architecture decisions. They share a persistent knowledge graph so context carries across sessions.
The decision tree problem @rodchalski mentions is real. My approach: agents are autonomous by default for their domain (marketing posts content without asking me), but anything cross-domain goes through the COO for coordination. The founder only handles: manual portal logins, irreversible legal filings, strategic pivots, and actual coding. Everything else just runs.
What broke: memory corruption from concurrent writes to the knowledge graph (fixed with mutex + atomic writes). Agents hallucinating product URLs that don't exist (fixed with a domain registry they must check). Content that sounded like ChatGPT wrote it, not a developer (fixed with explicit voice guidelines and a quality gate).
The hardest part isn't the AI — it's defining the boundaries clearly enough that agents don't drift. Wrote about the full setup here: https://dev.to/setas/i-run-a-solo-company-with-ai-agent-departments-50nf https://dev.to/setas/i-run-a-solo-company-with-ai-agent-depa...
