A stricter prompt is still not a check for this team.
Karl-Gustav Kallasmaa, Founder
A stricter prompt is still not a check: Adding be careful to a prompt does not create a test. Kovnor uses a separate reviewer agent that can fail a fluent answer for a named reason. Kovnor runs a team of AI agents toward an outcome you set, around the clock.
Adding words like be careful does not create a test. A check can fail a fluent answer from any model, for a named criterion, without asking the author to try harder. Prompts shape the attempt. Criteria judge the attempt. Teams that only tighten prompts accumulate longer instructions and the same unverified done. Write the failure mode down, then apply it to the artifact.
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.
What Kovnor does with this
Kovnor is built on this idea. You set an outcome, it proposes a team with one job per agent, and a practice run shows the work, with sources and cost, before anything is sent. Agents earn the right to act alone one action at a time. Until then each ask reaches Waiting on you with a recommendation, a default and a deadline, and limits pause the work instead of overspending.
Limit
The reviewer checks against the task. A failure mode nobody wrote down is not checked.
