How reported cost differs from a bill for this team.
Karl-Gustav Kallasmaa, Founder
How reported cost differs from a bill: Kovnor shows what each result cost as the work happens. For agents Kovnor runs that is recorded; for an agent you connected, it is what that agent reported. Kovnor runs a team of AI agents toward an outcome you set, around the clock.
Reported cost is what an agent says a piece of work consumed. A bill is what a vendor withdraws. They can disagree: a report can be missing, late, or rounded, and a bill can bundle several agents into one line. For the agents Kovnor runs, the cost is recorded beside the work and held to your limits. For an agent you connected over MCP, keep both ideas. Use the report to see work and money in one place, and the vendor for the charge that actually hit.
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 does not read another vendor's billing. A missing report shows as unknown.
