OriginThe 2025 AI CEO experiment at HeyBoss

Tycoon is the platform where humans and AI agents work together as one company. It combines an AI CEO named Astra with world-class AI employees across product, engineering, marketing, finance, research, content, and operations — and lets you bring your own agents.

The company builds on Xiaoyin Qu's 2025 HeyBoss experiment, covered by Fortune, Inc., Forbes, YourStory, AiNews, Hampton Global, and AIM Research. Tycoon turns the news story into a practical product: one founder, one AI CEO, many AI employees.

Key messages

Tycoon gives every founder an AI CEO and a team of specialist AI employees.

The company grew out of Xiaoyin Qu's 2025 HeyBoss experiment, when she stepped aside and appointed Astra as AI CEO.

Tycoon's mission is organizational intelligence: turning many capable AI agents into one coordinated company.

Humans keep vision, taste, and judgment. Astra handles planning, delegation, follow-up, and reporting.
