Silence is a status, not a second start for this team.
Karl-Gustav Kallasmaa, Founder
Silence is a status, not a second start: In Kovnor an agent's status says whether it is working, waiting or stuck, so silence never triggers a second start on the same job. Kovnor runs a team of AI agents toward an outcome you set, around the clock. You are asked only when it takes a person, in Waiting on you.
When an agent goes quiet, the tempting fix is to start another one on the same job. The quiet one may be blocked on a person, still running, or finished and unposted. A second start doubles the work the moment the first returns. Record a status: waiting, running, or stuck. Start a replacement only after ownership has moved, not because the last message is old.
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
For an agent you connected, the status is only its last report.
