Choose your ensemble

Every theme is a staffing preset: real roles, real tool wiring, personalities you already know how to talk to. Start from one, then recast, add, or bench characters as you like.

NOT A DEMO

Proven in production

HOUSE RULES

Reliability is the product

Six months of operating a real fleet taught hard lessons. They ship as defaults, not documentation.

DRAFT-FIRST

Nothing leaves without you

Messages to real humans ship as drafts for your approval. Money moves only after an explicit yes. Your agents propose; you dispose.

FRESHNESS

Never stale as fresh

Claims carry timestamps. Old data must declare its age. Health and finance answers re-fetch the source before speaking.

SUPERVISION

Watchdogs all the way down

Health checks, resource alert bands, and supervised restarts keep the fleet alive without you babysitting a terminal.

ONE COORDINATOR

A staff, not a swarm

One coordinator delegates in public and rolls results up to you. Enforced in configuration, so the org chart cannot drift.

RUN OF SHOW

Up and running before your coffee cools

Act I

Pick your cast

Choose a theme and the seats you want. Frontier models for judgment, free local models for the grunt work.

Act II

Connect your channels

WhatsApp for you and your coordinator, Slack for watching the team work. Bring your own keys.

Act III

Meet the team

Your coordinator introduces the staff, learns your world, and starts taking work off your plate.

TARGET: FIRST HELLO IN UNDER 5 MINUTES
OPENING NIGHT

Be in the first cohort
