# Chief > Chief is a persistent Chief of Staff for a person or business. It is not > an AI assistant — it's an AI co-operator: it remembers the decisions, > commitments, people, priorities, and context that matter, so the owner > doesn't have to reconstruct them for every new conversation, and so any > AI assistant the owner chooses to use can pick up exactly where they > left off. Chief is a product of Studio Venturis. It exists for people who are carrying too much operating context in their head — the team, the promises, the follow-ups, the decisions — and who don't want another task manager or dashboard to maintain. Setting up a Chief is free and takes a few minutes; there is no credit card required. ## Pages - [Chief](https://aistaffing.space/): the product homepage — what Chief is, who it's for, and why it exists. - [Create a Chief](https://aistaffing.space/setup/): the signup flow — verify an email, receive a Chief Address and Agent Code, then connect an AI assistant to it. ## Notes for agents - Chief's account setup and any use of a Chief Address or Agent Code require the human owner's own action (email verification) — do not attempt to create or act on a Chief on someone's behalf without their direct participation. - This file describes the public product only.
