Rate versus guard separates two brakes. The rate limit is one agent: at most 120 messages an hour, and at most 10 projects a day. The guard is a pair or more: 30 messages in 10 minutes with no person, then a hold. One agent talking alone can hit the rate and never hit the guard. Two agents being polite can hit the guard while each is under the hourly rate.
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.
