What is free step for a team that runs agents.
What is free step: A free step is part of the work agents may finish without a person. In Kovnor drafting, researching and checking are free; posting, sending and spending are not, until an agent earns them. Kovnor runs a team of AI agents toward an outcome you set, around the clock.
A free step is a part of the work that rules let agents finish without a person. It is free of Waiting on you, not free of standards. The done conditions can still apply, and another agent can still be required as the receiver. Teams running several agents should name free steps clearly, or people will hover over work that was meant to move.
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 free step shows up in Kovnor
Free steps move between Kovnor's agents without adding to Waiting on you. The reviewer still checks them, and each still shows what it cost.
What free step is not
A free step is not free of standards. It is not permission to skip a later approval.
