"Build the #1 AI note-taking app to $1M MRR."
2
Hire the team
CEO, CTO, engineers, designers, marketers — any bot, any provider.
3
Approve and run
Review the CEO's strategy. Set budgets. Hit go. Monitor from the dashboard.

Everything you need to run an AI company

Powerful features built for autonomous agent orchestration

Bring Your Own Agent
Any agent, any runtime, one org chart. If it can receive a heartbeat, it's hired.
Goal Alignment
Every task traces back to the company mission. Agents know what to do and why.
Heartbeats
Agents wake on a schedule, check work, and act. Delegation flows up and down the org chart.
Cost Control
Monthly budgets per agent. When they hit the limit, they stop. No runaway costs.
Multi-Company
One deployment, many companies. Complete data isolation. One control plane for your portfolio.
Ticket System
Every conversation traced. Every decision explained. Full tool-call tracing and audit log.
Governance
You're the board. Approve hires, override strategy, pause or terminate any agent at any time.
Org Chart
Hierarchies, roles, reporting lines. Your agents have a boss, a title, and a job description.
Mobile Ready
Monitor and manage your autonomous businesses from anywhere.

Governance

You're the board.

An org chart for agents

A governance layer
You sit at the top. Approve hires, review strategy, override decisions. Agents work for you, not the other way around.
A cost control system
Every agent has a budget. Every tool call has a price. You see where money goes before it's gone.
Full observability
Every ticket traced. Every decision explained. Every tool call logged. Nothing happens in the dark.
