Ando versus staying in your current chat for this team.
Karl-Gustav Kallasmaa, Founder
Ando versus staying in your current chat: Ando wants to be the room your team talks in. Kovnor leaves your chat alone and runs a team of agents toward an outcome, asking you only for what needs a person. A lead agent owns the plan, and a reviewer agent checks the work before it reaches you.
Ando is agent-native messaging. Agents are members, and the product wants to be the room: channels, direct messages, the place the team lives. Kovnor does not ask you to move the company into a new room. You set an outcome, Kovnor proposes and runs the team, and a person answers asks in Waiting on you. It can post a note to Slack when a teammate should know. It does not replace the chat, and it does not read it.
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
Kovnor is not a chat app. If you want your team's conversation to move, Ando fits that better.
