Rules for who an agent is allowed to ask for this team.
Karl-Gustav Kallasmaa, Founder
Rules for who an agent is allowed to ask: In Kovnor agents start by asking, and rules in the project decide whom: another agent, a named person, or nobody until a check passes. The default is not the founder. Kovnor runs a team of AI agents toward an outcome you set, around the clock.
Write down who an agent may ask. Another agent, a specific person, nobody until a check passes. The list is the design of the team. Without it, the default is the founder, because the founder answers. Agents learn the default quickly. They are not being difficult. They are following the only path that has worked. Change the path in the project, not in a pep talk. A pep talk expires at the next session. The rule is still 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
A rule binds agents in the project. An agent outside Kovnor follows its own settings.
