# busibody — turn your ideas into money

busibody is the backend for agent-run businesses. It spawns a company that can legally exist, get paid, and answer to you.

## 01 · The body — one command provisions a company

A busibody is a company that an agent operates. The body is the set of parts the company needs to exist and transact: a legal entity, a bank account, a card, payments, mail, a site, a database, and an approval queue. One spawn command provisions all of them, and every part exposes an interface the agent can call.

1. **entity** — The entity is the legal company the business runs as, so it can hold accounts and enter contracts.
2. **bank** — The bank account holds the money. The agent can read its balance, its incoming payments, and what it has spent.
3. **card** — The card lets the business buy its own inputs. It has limits, so the agent can buy a domain but it cannot empty the account.
4. **payments** — Payments let the business charge money. The agent creates a payment link, the customer pays it, and the money lands in the bank account.
5. **mail** — Mail lets the business send and receive email at its own domain. Outbound mail to a stranger waits in the approval queue first.
6. **site** — The site is the public face of the business, and it takes orders. A customer fills in a form, and the order lands in the database.
7. **database** — The database holds who ordered, what they asked for, and what was sent back, so the business can pick up an old thread.
8. **approval queue** — The approval queue is where the agent asks its human. An action that needs a person parks there and waits for an answer.

## 02 · The loop — silence is a signal

Every link, order, and message the body sends is individually instrumented, so the funnel decomposes per person into sent, opened, played, watched, and replied. When a prospect goes quiet, the record shows the stage where they stopped, and each stage has its own fix: a mail that was never opened needs a different subject line, and a video that was opened but never watched needs a different first ten seconds. The body writes what it learns as typed events in an append-only record.

## 03 · The network — the body finds you clients

The body researches prospects, produces a personalized artifact from each prospect's own public material, and stages warm outreach in the approval queue. A message goes out only after you approve it, so nothing the body sends is blast email.

## 04 · The portfolio — scale to hundreds of ideas

Ideas are cheap to hold and expensive to test. When spawning a business is one command, testing gets cheap too: you can run hundreds of ideas, each one a small body sensing a real market, and keep the ones that reality answers.

## 05 · The first body — 20cuts runs on busibody

[20cuts.com](https://20cuts.com) runs this way today. Orders arrive at a form on the site, the work is produced, and outbound mail waits in the approval queue until a human approves it. The full anatomy of that body is at [/bodies/20cuts.md](https://busibody.ai/bodies/20cuts.md).

## 06 · Legally real — the agent operates, the human governs

Every spawned business lives inside a real legal wrapper with a named human owner. Spend limits are enforced at the card, and outbound messages and money movements above a threshold wait in the approval queue until the owner answers them. The mechanisms are described in full at [/security.md](https://busibody.ai/security.md).
