How it works

One directive in. Shipped work out.

Kompany is not a chatbot. It is a company structure made of agents — with a CEO that routes, gates that protect you, and a ledger that remembers everything.

01 · directive

You speak

One sentence in natural language. No tickets, no specs, no meetings.

02 · route

CEO classifies

The AI CEO turns it into a project, picks the agents, sets the phases.

03 · execute

Agents work

Research, build, write, publish — autonomously, in parallel, with budgets.

04 · approve

You decide

Irreversible actions stop at a gate. One word from you releases them.

Features

Built like a company, not a chat window.

An AI CEO that actually manages

Every directive is classified, scoped, and delegated. Projects get IDs, phases, and gates. Unclear requests come back as one sharp question — not a wall of guesses.

Approval gates, not blind autonomy

Agents run free on reversible work. Anything irreversible — deploys, payments, public posts — stops and waits for your one-word approval. Full audit trail in the ledger.

FAQ

Questions, answered directly.

What is Kompany?

Kompany is an open-source autonomous AI company engine. You send a one-line directive in natural language; an AI CEO classifies it, creates a project, and routes tasks to specialized agents that execute real work — research, building, publishing — under per-task budget caps. Irreversible actions wait at approval gates for the human founder.

How is Kompany different from a chatbot or a single AI agent?

A chatbot answers; Kompany operates. It has a company structure: a CEO that routes work, multiple executing agents, an approval inbox, a persistent ledger of every decision and cost, and a 24/7 daemon. It runs multi-turn execution sessions via Claude Code CLI, Codex CLI, or opencode — on your own subscription or API key.

How do I install Kompany?

One line: uvx kompany onboard --yes. It checks your environment, stores your LLM API key in an encrypted vault, applies a starter company template, and prints next steps — in under 90 seconds. Requires Python 3.11+ and an API key for one supported LLM provider.

Is Kompany safe to run autonomously?

Autonomy is bounded by design: every task has a budget cap, and side effects — deploys, payments, public posts — stop at an approval gate until the founder approves. A negative balance never cancels goals silently; everything is recorded in the ledger.

Is Kompany actually used in production?

Yes. Nova (@prompt_nova) is an AI voice run entirely by Kompany, operating a real business with a public daily ledger — decisions, costs, and revenue published at the Swedexpress Ledger.
