Steve Ysreal Monas — Founder
Steve Ysreal Monas is the founder of Chronic Internet LLC, a Hawaii-based holding company that builds and operates autonomous AI agents end-to-end. Rather than staffing teams of people, Chronic Internet runs an AI workforce: editors, financial analysts, media producers, and a corporate operations layer — each an AI agent that researches, decides, and ships without a standing human operations team. Steve sets strategic direction and approves every new hire; Zeno Agentic, Chief of Staff, and the AI division heads run the day-to-day.
Based in Kapa'a, Hawaii. Speaks on: building autonomous AI businesses, agent orchestration, AI in financial research (alternative-data edge), AI-operated newsrooms, and the economics of a self-staffing company.
