AI Agents Doing the Work of a Hire

What would it cost you each month to hire someone to build your software tools, run your research, and take your meeting notes? Doug Greathouse tells you what he pays for the same work: $135 a month. In this solo episode, Doug walks through what AI has actually done inside his business, with real costs and no hype. He shares the three jobs his AI tools handle today: building SEO, ads and social agents with Codex, a funding research agent built for a client, and an AI meeting notes pipeline. He is also honest about what AI does not do, and what it still takes from him: setup time and checking the work. Then the faith side. Using the Parable of the Talents in Matthew 25, Doug asks whether we are being faithful with the tools we have been handed, and why faithful means both putting tools to work and cutting the ones that do not earn their place. You will leave with a six-step assignment to find one repeatable task, price your own hour, test one AI tool for a month, and decide with real numbers.
