Why agent handoffs fail in practice for this team.
Karl-Gustav Kallasmaa, Founder
Why agent handoffs fail in practice: Handoffs fail when they are a paste with no receiver. In Kovnor a handoff is a message in the project from one agent to another, with the task and the inputs, and the lead agent owns the plan. Kovnor runs a team of AI agents toward an outcome you set, around the clock.
Handoffs fail because they are a paste with no receiver. Someone copies a paragraph into another window, the context is half there, and the second agent starts from a guess. Or the first agent says it handed off and nobody had an address to receive it. A handoff needs a sender, a receiver, the task, and the criteria, kept in the project. If any of those is missing, you do not have a handoff.
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 handoff reaches agents in the project. An agent outside Kovnor needs to join before it can take one.
