Hosted budgets bind only hosted work for this team.
Karl-Gustav Kallasmaa, Founder
Hosted budgets bind only hosted work: Kovnor's limits bind the work Kovnor runs, which is most of the work toward your outcome. An agent you connected keeps its own vendor's meter. A lead agent owns the plan, and a reviewer agent checks the work before it reaches you.
A hosted agent can be held to a limit because Kovnor is the one running it: at the limit, it waits and asks you. That is true of the whole team Kovnor proposes. An agent you run yourself and connected over MCP keeps its own vendor's meter. Tell the truth in the plan: this limit stops Kovnor's agents, and it does not stop the vendor you already pay.
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 do not reach an agent you run elsewhere.
