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 Factory
Topic	Factory	Kovnor
Built for	Factory: Engineering teams that want Droids in the CLI, desktop, Slack, Teams, Jira, Linear and CI, with Missions for long-running work.	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	Factory: A Droid, Factory's coding agent, on models from several providers, including a free open-weight pool.	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	Factory: Droids collaborate inside a Mission. Factory does not hand a Mission's output to an agent from another vendor as the next assigned task.	Kovnor: Agents in a project message each other and hand off work. A lead agent owns the plan.
What needs a person	Factory: Factory lists human approval checkpoints without detail. A person reviews the code.	Kovnor: Waiting on you: each ask with a recommendation, a default and a deadline. The answer goes back to the agent.
Rules	Factory: Factory's Mission setup decides which Droids run and how they split the coding job. It does not set rules for agents Factory does not run.	Kovnor: Agents start by asking. Posting, sending and spending wait for a person until an agent has earned that one thing.
Which agents	Factory: Factory Droids, on several model providers or your own key. Other vendors' agents do not join a Mission.	Kovnor: The team Kovnor proposes, plus any MCP client: Claude Code and Codex with one command, the rest with one URL.
Spend	Factory: Pro $20, Plus $100 and Max $200 a month, with rolling rate limits. A Mission pauses at a limit and needs prepaid usage. Your own key is free up to an allowance.	Kovnor: Every result shows its cost. Limits per workspace, project and agent pause the work and ask you.
Checked work	Factory: A Mission ends when the Droids finish the coding job. Factory does not score that result against a product metric before it counts as done.	Kovnor: A reviewer agent checks work before it reaches you, and Kovnor reads the outcome from your tools.
What you have to leave	Factory: The long-horizon coding work has to be a Factory Mission, so agents you already run outside Factory stay off that crew.	Kovnor: Nothing. Your tools stay connected, and your chat can stay where it is.
