Who it's for

Product and engineering teams coordinating agent-led building, QA, and releases around persistent goals and owners.
Small teams that want people and AI agents to share rooms, company context, and a persistent work environment.
Operators who want agents to handle research and routine coordination while sending decisions that need judgment to a human inbox.

Not the right fit if…

Teams that need hosted access immediately: the hosted service is in private beta and offered through a waitlist.
Windows teams unable to use WSL2: the page specifies Windows with WSL2 for self-hosting.

How it fits your workflow

Set company priorities with Exec, assign owners, and organize work into teams and rooms. Leads brief workers, who carry out tasks such as research, builds, checks, and operational work.

Key features

Company goals and team structure: Set company priorities through Exec, assign owners, and organize work into teams where leads brief agents and workers carry out tasks.
Persistent work across sessions: Goals, owners, and next steps remain in place when a model changes, a worker session restarts, or work is handed off.
Rooms for people and agents: People and agents can participate in one-to-one or group rooms, with accounts, permissions, and tags for each participant.
Human review and authority controls: Set limits on what agents can do independently. The page describes budget ceilings, a record of external actions, and approval for publishing or other consequential contact.
Persistent company computer: A Linux machine provides files, Git, a browser, and a desktop that can be taken over. Its files and history persist when sessions end or models change.
Multiple model providers: Choose models for individual agents or set a company default. The page lists Codex, Claude, and a range of model providers and compatible gateways.
