CEO fired developers to make room for AI. Developers create open source AI CEO

The brief

Developers who say they were let go by a company that replaced them with AI have released OpenExecutive, an open-source AI agent that acts as a CEO.

Key points

  1. The project generates strategic decisions, drafts memos, and delegates tasks through a set of automated prompts.
  2. It is framed explicitly as a response to AI-driven layoffs in software teams.
