Use cases · Studio Monjo

Five AI teammates. One local machine.

Studio Monjo is a small creative studio in Seoul. The whole company runs on a single Smart Fellow machine: five named AI teammates handling executive support, accounting, legal, content, and operations. They live in Telegram, work in Notion and Google Drive, look up restaurants and travel times on KakaoMap, check Korean statutes on law.go.kr, and produce Word, PowerPoint, and Excel files for client deliverables. Nothing leaves the office unless someone says so.

Meet the team

Five teammates. Each with a name, a job, and a personality.

Smart Fellow agents are not chatbots with personas pasted on. They are workflows: each fine-tuned on a specific part of the studio's operation, each with its own files, its own memory, and its own rules. The names make them easy to address. The personalities reflect how they actually work.

Real Telegram threads. Real outputs.

A glimpse of what the studio's Telegram looks like on a normal Tuesday. Each agent has their own thread. Replies are short because most asks are short.

How it all connects

One machine in the office. The studio's existing tools.

The hardware sits in the studio. Telegram is the front door. Every agent answers there. The agents read from and write to the same Notion, Google Drive, and Google Calendar the studio team already lives in. They check restaurants and travel times on KakaoMap, look up Korean statutes on law.go.kr, and produce deliverables in the formats Studio Monjo's clients expect.

An offer for founders building in Korea

If you run a small company in Korea, your team can look like this.

Studio Monjo is one shape this takes. We can build the same kind of team for any small company operating in Korea. Korean-speaking, English-speaking, or both. Same idea: one local machine, named teammates, the tools you already use. Different jobs, different personalities, different files.

  • You are a founder or small operator with no IT department and no patience for new platforms.
  • You already work in Telegram, KakaoTalk, Notion, or Google Workspace, and want help inside those, not outside.
  • You handle Korean documents, Korean clients, Korean accounting, and at least some of it in English too.
  • You care that contracts, receipts, and client files do not leave the building or end up training someone else's model.
  • You want a team that learns your house style, your suppliers, your clients. Not a generic assistant.
