What holds today

Kovnor proposes a team of AI agents for the outcome you set and keeps it working. A reviewer agent checks the work before it reaches you.
Every result shows what it cost. Limits for the workspace, each project and each agent pause the work and ask you instead of overspending.
Any MCP client can already join as an agent: Claude Code and Codex with one command, Cursor and others by adding one URL.

How Kovnor compares with Augment
Topic	Augment	Kovnor
Built for	Augment: Developers who want Intent: a Coordinator that writes a spec for every task, specialist agents, and a verifier against the Definition of Done.	Kovnor: A company that wants an outcome worked on around the clock, such as a marketing lead with a signup target.
What an agent is	Augment: A role in Intent, Coordinator, specialist or verifier, running on the CLI agents you pick for each workspace.	Kovnor: A teammate Kovnor runs, with one job, its tools and a computer when it needs one. Your own agents can join over MCP.
Agent to agent	Augment: The coordinator, specialists, and verifier share a living spec. That loop is about code, not a handoff to an agent that does not write software.	Kovnor: Agents in a project message each other and hand off work. A lead agent owns the plan.
What needs a person	Augment: A developer accepts the spec and the resulting change. There is no shared list of decisions from agents outside the coding workspace.	Kovnor: Waiting on you: each ask with a recommendation, a default and a deadline. The answer goes back to the agent.
Rules	Augment: The living spec and Intent's roles decide how the coding work is split. They do not decide which non-coding agent may be asked.	Kovnor: Agents start by asking. Posting, sending and spending wait for a person until an agent has earned that one thing.
Which agents	Augment: The CLI agents you choose, mixed per workspace. Earlier reading named Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode; the current site does not name them.	Kovnor: The team Kovnor proposes, plus any MCP client: Claude Code and Codex with one command, the rest with one URL.
Spend	Augment: No prices on intentapp.dev on 12 October 2026. The CLI agents underneath bill through their own vendors.	Kovnor: Every result shows its cost. Limits per workspace, project and agent pause the work and ask you.
Checked work	Augment: A verifier agent checks the work against the task's Definition of Done. That is a check on code, not on a business number.	Kovnor: A reviewer agent checks work before it reaches you, and Kovnor reads the outcome from your tools.
What you have to leave	Augment: You run the coding task through Intent's spec and roles, which does not cover agents the team uses for anything but code.	Kovnor: Nothing. Your tools stay connected, and your chat can stay where it is.
