Vol. I — No. 001Saturday, 13 June 2026Morning Edition“All the work that's fit to ship”
The Startup Desk · Lead Story

Vigil does the work. The moment you ask.

A standing desk of AI specialists that plans the moves, does the work, and files a report by morning — every real action on a leash you control.

By the Vigil Desk · for founders who'd rather ship than manage a to-do list

Tell Vigil what you're building — the goal, who it's for, what winning looks like — and it picks the single most valuable next move and actually does it: launch emails, a week of social, a campaign plan, even a complete landing page, written in your voice.

Flip on autopilot and it keeps going on its own, filing a fresh report each morning. Nothing risky ships without your one-click sign-off, and it never spends a penny past the cap you set. You stay editor-in-chief; the desk does the legwork.

A week of content built around your launch angle.

Why this

You said launch is in 2 weeks and you have no top-of-funnel content. Awareness is the bottleneck, so I prioritised launch assets over the landing-page rewrite.

The loop

One simple loop — on your command, or on autopilot

Vigil isn't a chatbot you have to babysit. It's a loop that does real work the moment you ask — and gets sharper every time you react to it.

1

Brief it once

Describe your venture: the goal, who it's for, and what winning looks like.

→
2

It picks the move

The strategist reads your context and memory, then chooses the single most valuable task.

→
3

It does the work

A specialist agent produces real deliverables — copy, posts, campaign plans, or a complete landing page.

→
4

You get a report

Approve, tweak, or redirect. Your reaction becomes memory that sharpens the next run.

What Vigil does

A whole team — not a chatbot

Vigil runs a standing desk of specialist agents that research, write, build and ship. You stay editor-in-chief; they do the legwork — and you sign off on anything that touches the outside world.

✍️

Content, copy & real pages

Launch emails, blog drafts, a week of social — and complete landing pages it can publish live, even spinning up a GitHub repo. All in your voice, from your brief.

📣

Campaign planning

Angles, audiences and channel plans for your next push — with the reasoning for each call laid out.

🔭

Live web research

Specialists search the live web before they write, so the work is grounded in current facts and real competitors — not a guess from training data.

🧠

Memory that compounds

Every decision and every 👍/👎 is remembered. Vigil drifts toward what works for you, not generic output.

📨

The run report

One clean digest per run — what it did, why it did it, and what it suggests next. No log-diving.

🛡️

You hold the leash

Draft, approve-each, or full-auto — you choose. Anything that spends money or goes public waits for your sign-off, and a hard spend cap means no bill shock.

Built to be trusted

Autonomous — but never off the leash.

Other "AI that runs your company" tools quietly deploy code and burn ad budgets at 3am. Vigil really does act — it publishes pages, drafts and sends outreach, ships to GitHub — but only ever on the leash you set, under a spend cap you choose.

✓
You set the autonomyDraft, approve-each, or full-auto — per venture. Nothing irreversible happens without your sign-off unless you allow it.
✓
A hard spend capSet a monthly budget and Vigil never spends past it — with a kill switch you can hit anytime.
✓
Everything is loggedEvery action comes with the "why", live — so you're never guessing what it did.

Questions

The honest FAQ

Does Vigil actually do the work, or just suggest it?
It does the work. A team of specialists plans the moves, researches the live web, writes the deliverables, and ships the real ones — publishing a landing page, spinning up a GitHub repo, drafting and sending outreach. What it won't do is go behind your back: anything irreversible or paid waits for your one-click approval, and there's a hard spend cap. (Running paid ads and taking payments stay switched off until you deliberately turn them on.)
What's autopilot?
By default Vigil works on demand — you hit run and the team plans and executes up to three moves in seconds. Turn on autopilot for a venture and it also runs on a schedule on its own, emailing you a report each time, so progress keeps happening without you keeping a tab open.
How does it get better over time?
Every report has a thumbs up/down and a note. Those reactions, plus the outcomes of past work, become memory. The next task is chosen and written with that context, so Vigil drifts toward what works for you specifically.
Will it spend my money or post without asking?
You decide. On the default "approve" setting, every real action — sending an email, publishing, posting — waits for your one-click sign-off. Switch a venture to full-auto and it acts on its own, but only ever within the spend cap you set, never a penny past it.
Which AI model is behind it?
Vigil is model-agnostic by design — the agents run behind a provider layer, so we can use the best model for each job without changing how it works for you.
