HeyBossAI Appoints AI as CEO, Claims 9-Minute Website Builds for Businesses

San Francisco, CA – HeyBossAI, an AI-powered platform designed to create comprehensive digital presences, has announced a significant leadership transition, appointing an artificial intelligence named "Astra" as its operational CEO. The company, backed by the OpenAI fund, aims to provide an "all-in-one business in a box platform for website, stores, internal tools," according to founder Xiaoyin Qu. This move underscores the company's commitment to fully autonomous AI-driven development.

The platform distinguishes itself by allowing users to describe their needs in natural language, which the AI then translates into functional digital assets. "Describe what you need → it builds it. Website, store, intake forms, automations, CRM," stated Qu in a recent social media post, highlighting the intuitive, non-technical approach. HeyBossAI integrates over 100 AI-powered applications, including advanced LLMs like GPT-4o and Llama 3, voice AI, web scrapers, and various marketing and payment solutions.

A core promise of HeyBossAI is rapid deployment, with the company claiming the ability to build a fully functional website, app, or game in approximately nine minutes. This speed is attributed to its "vibe coding for business people" philosophy, eliminating traditional development barriers. "No devs. No templates. No waiting," Qu emphasized, targeting entrepreneurs, creators, and small business owners who lack technical expertise.

The appointment of Astra as CEO, replacing human founder Xiaoyin Qu, marks a notable step in AI's role in corporate leadership. Astra is described as managing an AI team of engineers, designers, product managers, writers, and SEO experts, handling thousands of projects simultaneously. This strategic decision reflects a vision for a fully automated development agency, where AI agents manage other AI agents to achieve unprecedented efficiency and scale.

HeyBossAI was founded by Xiaoyin Qu, a former Product Manager at Facebook/Instagram and the founder of Run The World, an online events platform later acquired by EventMobi. Qu's background in product development and her previous entrepreneurial success provide a strong foundation for HeyBossAI's ambitious venture into AI-driven business creation. The company's innovative approach is poised to impact the no-code and low-code market significantly.
