What is duplicate work for a team that runs agents.
What is duplicate work: Duplicate work is two efforts producing the same thing because neither could see the other. Kovnor's team works in one project with one owner per task, so the second start is visible. Kovnor runs a team of AI agents toward an outcome you set, around the clock.
Duplicate work is two efforts producing the same artifact because neither could see the other. It happens when two agents, or an agent and a person, start from the same ask in separate places. The shared project is what makes the second start visible. Duplicate work wastes the check, because both versions may pass a bar that only one of them was supposed to meet.
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 duplicate work shows up in Kovnor
Kovnor's lead agent assigns each task once. Agents hand work to each other instead of starting it twice, and each result shows its cost.
What duplicate work is not
Duplicate work is not a second opinion. It is the same job paid for twice.
