What is event versus cause for a team that runs agents.
What is event versus cause: Event versus cause separates a PostHog count from the reason it moved. Kovnor shows the count beside the work and does not claim the work caused it. Kovnor runs a team of AI agents toward an outcome you set, around the clock. You are asked only when it takes a person, in Waiting on you.
Event versus cause separates a PostHog count from the reason it moved. The event says how many times something happened. The cause would name the change, the message, or the outage that led there. The read does not store that cause unless PostHog already did, and even then it is PostHog's link, not a proof invented here. Treating the count as the cause makes every nearby task look responsible.
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.
