Who picks up after an agent stops for this team.
Karl-Gustav Kallasmaa, Founder
Who picks up after an agent stops: When an agent stops, someone has to pick up, and it should not default to the founder. In Kovnor the lead agent owns the plan, so every open task has an owner, and a person's step arrives as an ask with a deadline.
Someone has to pick up when an agent stops, and it should not default to the founder. Name the address. If the address is another agent, the rule must allow the ask. If the address is a person, Waiting on you gets the decision, not a dump of the session. Stopping is normal. Sessions end. The project is what continues. If nothing in the project says who is next, the work is paused no matter how confident the last status sounded.
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 reassigns within the team. It cannot pick up work that was never in the project.
