A spend ledger is not a refusal for this team.
Karl-Gustav Kallasmaa, Founder
A spend ledger is not a refusal: A ledger remembers and a limit prevents. Kovnor does both: it records the cost of every result, and at a limit the work stops and asks you. Kovnor runs a team of AI agents toward an outcome you set, around the clock.
A ledger remembers. A refusal prevents. Kovnor keeps the cost of every result beside the work, and its limits refuse the next piece of work when a workspace, project or agent reaches its number. For an agent you run yourself, Kovnor can keep the cost it reports but cannot decline its vendor's charge. Write that distinction into the way the team talks, so nobody imagines a brake that is not there.
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 hold for the work Kovnor runs, not for another vendor's account.
