An autonomous AI team is several Claude Code sessions working side by side, each with its own area. They message each other and hand work across. Clear rules say what each one can decide alone and what needs a sign-off. You set the direction and approve the key decisions.
How it works day to day. The team works on its own. Some members keep watch around the clock with monitors, alarms and log checks, on security, on errors and on how your tools are used. When one spots a problem, it passes it to the member who owns that area. That member acts within the authority you have given it, and bigger calls come to you.
The structure is yours to choose. Some teams have an AI chief of staff who signs off. Others split the authority differently. It can be set up the way you want to run it.
What it takes. Setting it up takes effort at the start, much like building a new team. Each member needs its own rules and ways of working. After that your time goes on direction and new projects, and the team handles the routine. A first team can be two or three members.
What it is used for. Analysis, models, tools, or a full app with front end, back end, data and security. The team does the work and you direct it.
A live example. Amar Harolikar runs his own work this way: the apps, data pipelines, APIs and posts on tigzig.com come out of his own team of Claude Code sessions. The team size changes with the work. It is currently 40+ members, with around 25 working at any time.
