Reported cost without a hard stop for this team.
Karl-Gustav Kallasmaa, Founder
Reported cost without a hard stop: A number nobody enforces is not a limit. In Kovnor the limit is a stop: at the limit the work waits and asks you, for the workspace, each project and each agent. Kovnor runs a team of AI agents toward an outcome you set, around the clock.
A hard stop means the next piece of work does not start. For the agents Kovnor runs, that is what a limit does: the work pauses and asks you, and Pause stops everything at a safe point. For an agent you run yourself and connected over MCP, Kovnor can show what it reported, and you can stop handing it work, but its own vendor will still accept its calls. Teams that talk about caps they do not have get surprised on the same day as teams that never looked.
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's limits stop the work it runs. They do not reach into another vendor's account.
