150 AI Employees, For Free

thanks for commenting on the reel!
follow this guide and you'll have 150 AI employees in 5 minutes.

no joke. no coding background needed.

📌 wait, what is this?

an open-source collection of 150 specialized AI agents built by an indie dev.

• developers, designers, marketers, PMs, sales

• 12 divisions, 150 experts total

• 96K+ stars on github

• 100% free, forever

• MIT licensed (yes, use it commercially too)

basically — type "act as a marketer" and the AI actually responds like a real marketer would. not generic GPT slop.

🤔 which AI tool do i need?

works with almost every AI tool out there. pick what fits you:

🚀 setup by user type

🟢 for beginners — Claude.ai (recommended)

literally the easiest path. just sign up and copy-paste.

step 1 — sign up for Claude (30 sec)

👉 https://claude.ai

google login. takes 30 seconds.

💡 why Claude and not ChatGPT?
these agents are built specifically for Claude. it follows them way better than GPT does.

step 2 — pick your AI employee on github

👉 https://github.com/msitarzewski/agency-agents

browse folders by category:

step 3 — copy the agent file

click the agent you want → click the Raw button (top right) → copy everything (Ctrl+A → Ctrl+C)

step 4 — paste into Claude

1. open Claude.ai → start a new chat

2. paste the agent prompt

3. then add your task below:

follow this persona exactly.

write 5 hook captions for my instagram about AI.
target: 20-something solopreneurs.

that's it. you're done.

🟢 ChatGPT users

same as Claude.ai method. just paste into ChatGPT instead.

💡 honest take: Claude follows these personas better. but ChatGPT works fine if you're already paying for it.

🟡 Cursor users

cursor lets you use them with @ mentions. way smoother.

step 1 — clone the repo

git clone https://github.com/msitarzewski/agency-agents
cd agency-agents

step 2 — install for Cursor

./scripts/install.sh --tool cursor

this drops everything into .cursor/rules/ automatically.

step 3 — use it

in any Cursor chat:

@frontend-developer build me a react countdown timer component

💡 on Windows? install.sh won't run natively. just copy the .md file content and paste into Cursor chat. works the same.

🟡 GitHub Copilot users

same flow, different command:

git clone https://github.com/msitarzewski/agency-agents
cd agency-agents
./scripts/install.sh --tool copilot

personas get loaded into .github/copilot-instructions.md automatically.

🔴 terminal users (Claude Code / Codex CLI / etc.)

all major CLI tools are supported:

# Claude Code
./scripts/install.sh --tool claude-code

# Codex CLI
./scripts/install.sh --tool codex

# Gemini CLI
./scripts/install.sh --tool gemini-cli

# Aider
./scripts/install.sh --tool aider

# Windsurf
./scripts/install.sh --tool windsurf

after install, call agents directly with @agent-name.

✨ 3 real-world examples

example 1 — instagram content

follow this persona exactly.

write 5 hook captions for my instagram.
topic: how to work with AI as a solopreneur.
tone: casual, slightly chaotic, gen z.

example 2 — brand strategy

follow this persona exactly.

i'm starting a coffee brand for 30-something professionals.
vibe: minimalist, quiet, focused.
give me 3 brand concepts with naming + positioning.

example 3 — business analysis

follow this persona exactly.

analyze my business idea.
idea: [your idea]
give me strengths, weaknesses, and recommended next steps.

🎯 moodmode's TOP 5 picks

start with these 5. no need to install all 150.

1️⃣ marketing-content-creator

• folder: marketing

• use for: instagram, youtube, tiktok content

• best for: anyone running social media

2️⃣ brand-strategist

• folder: marketing

• use for: naming, positioning, brand concepts

• best for: founders, solopreneurs starting out

3️⃣ copywriter

• folder: marketing

• use for: ad copy, emails, landing pages

• best for: anyone running paid ads

4️⃣ ui-ux-designer

• folder: design

• use for: design feedback, UI improvement ideas

• best for: founders without a design team

5️⃣ growth-hacker

• folder: marketing

• use for: growth strategies, audience building

• best for: anyone stuck at a follower plateau

🚀 next level — make them collaborate

claude code and cursor can run multiple agents in parallel. yes, simultaneously.

run 4 agents in parallel:

1. marketing expert → 3 instagram hook captions
2. copywriter → 3 english slogans
3. brand strategist → 5 brand keywords
4. growth hacker → 3 reach strategies

execute simultaneously and report back.

→ it actually spins up 4 separate sub-agents that work at the same time.

this is when it starts feeling like running a real company.
once you try this, single-agent feels boring.

💡 one last tip

AI only works as hard as your prompt makes it work.

"write me copy" gets you garbage.
"write 5 instagram hook captions for moodmode, targeting 25-year-old AI-curious creators, in a slightly chaotic gen z tone" gets you gold.

these 150 personas are just tools. the better you know what you want, the better they perform.
