Switch from NanoCorp to Task Machine

NanoCorp's pitch is "One prompt · One company · Zero code": describe a business in a sentence and AI agents build, launch, and operate it — live product, nanocorp.app domain, Stripe payments, Meta ads, a daily CEO briefing — in about two minutes. The catch is the exit: money leaves through a 20% withdrawal fee, and the Stripe, domain, and email belong to NanoCorp's stack. Task Machine takes no cut, custodies nothing, and trades the one-prompt start for deliberate control.

Why do people switch from NanoCorp?

• The 20% withdrawal fee compounds. Every dollar your business earns costs twenty cents to take out. With Task Machine you keep 100% of your revenue — pricing is flat, we take no cut, and we never custody your accounts.
• A custodied company is hard to leave. NanoCorp holds the Stripe, the domain, and the email, so moving off means migrating a business, not exporting a config. Task Machine agents act through accounts you already own, so leaving Task Machine never means losing your business.
• Approving major decisions isn't seeing the work. NanoCorp's AI CEO handles execution and briefs you daily. Task Machine's three-surface workflow (chat, inbox, tasks) puts you where the work is — chat to direct, one inbox to approve, tasks to dig in — over deterministic, verifiable workflows with step-level run history.
• One prompt buys NanoCorp's conventions. A company provisioned end-to-end runs the way NanoCorp built it. Task Machine is composable primitives — agents, teams, workflows, tasks, knowledge — pointed at your own accounts, so you can shape almost any operation.

What maps to what?

What do you give up?

Honesty first: NanoCorp's start is hard to match. A live, payment-taking product in about two minutes, a free-forever tier to try it on, and a company that operates 24/7 without your attention. Task Machine asks you to connect your own accounts and a worker before anything runs, and its default keeps consequential actions waiting in your inbox. If you want an idea live this afternoon with zero setup and are fine with the fee, NanoCorp genuinely does that.

How does the switch work?

1. Join the Task Machine waitlist and connect a workspace to accounts you own — since NanoCorp held the Stripe, domain, and email, this means standing up your own first.
2. Pick the playbooks that match what your NanoCorp company was doing (outbound sales, customer email, ads, content) — each installs the agents, workflows, and documents for that job.
3. Set autonomy levels low to start: outbound sends and ad spend wait for approval in your inbox, and you raise autonomy per agent, project, or goal as trust builds.
4. Set money and token budgets with 80% and 100% alerts, and schedule the recurring workflows that replace the 24/7 loop.

Common questions

Does Task Machine charge anything when I take money out?

No. Your revenue lands in your own Stripe and stays yours — there is no withdrawal fee, no revenue share, and no custodied account between you and your money.

Can Task Machine build a company from one prompt?

No, and that's deliberate. Task Machine is an operating layer for recurring company work, not a company provisioner. Playbooks get you moving fast, but they install onto accounts you own rather than a stack someone else holds.

What happens to the product NanoCorp built for me?

It lives on NanoCorp's stack, so there's no importer — you'd rebuild on your own domain and Stripe, then run the operations side through Task Machine workflows. Manual, but it only happens once.
