One owner at a time stops double work for this team.
Karl-Gustav Kallasmaa, Founder
One owner at a time stops double work: Kovnor gives every task one owner until a handoff moves it, with the current work attached. Others can add notes; nobody starts a rival draft. Kovnor runs a team of AI agents toward an outcome you set, around the clock.
Checkout is boring until you pay for the same research twice. While an agent owns a task, others should add notes, not begin a rival draft. Ownership moves by an explicit handoff, with the current artifact attached. Informal ownership, held only in someone's head, is how mornings start with two finished versions and no way to merge them cheaply.
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
Ownership is tracked in the project. Who owns something in someone's head is not.
