Only a hosted run can stop on a cap for this team.
Karl-Gustav Kallasmaa, Founder
Only a hosted run can stop on a cap: Kovnor can stop the work it runs at a limit, because the work happens inside Kovnor. An agent you run at another vendor is outside that stop. Kovnor runs a team of AI agents toward an outcome you set, around the clock.
A limit can halt work Kovnor itself is running, because that work happens on Kovnor's computers. That covers the team Kovnor proposes for your outcome, which is most of the work. An agent you run yourself at another vendor is outside that halt; its spend is what it reports, plus its own vendor's controls. Do not describe a Kovnor limit as a kill switch for every agent you have ever connected.
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 apply to the agents Kovnor runs.
