v0.4 — Early Access

Orchestrated AI for Product Teams.

KageOps is the multi-agent platform that takes your idea from concept to shipped product — through six automated phases, with hard budget guardrails and a specialist agent for every domain.

The Autonauts

Eight specialists. One job each.

Each Autonaut owns a domain. Sensei dispatches. You get full coverage without a single point of failure.

Scout Strategist

Market research, competitive analysis, opportunity sizing, go-to-market strategy. First agent in every pipeline.

Blueprint Architect

System design, tech stack decisions, dependency graphs, and technical documentation. Owns the architecture phase.

Pixel Designer

UI components, design tokens, brand-consistent screens. Produces production-ready HTML/CSS artifacts.

Forge Engineer

Code generation, feature implementation, API integration, and acceptance-fix retries. Ships the working product.

Vigil Quality Guardian

Testing, code review, acceptance gate verification. Blocks any phase gate until quality criteria are met.

Aegis Platform Engineer

Infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, deployment, and security hardening. Gets your product live.

Cipher Data Specialist

Database schema, query optimization, data pipelines, and pgvector semantic search. Owns the data layer.

Herald Marketer

Launch copy, SEO, go-to-market strategy, channel selection. Turns your product into a story people want to share.

The Orchestrator

Sensei sits at the centre.

Eight Autonauts orbit. Sensei coordinates. Live edges show which agents are running right now. The whole pipeline is observable from one window — and Sensei never does the task work directly. Pure coordination.

  • Decomposes your prompt into a typed task graph
  • Routes each task to the right specialist
  • Holds the budget — kill-switch polled every 3 s
  • Brokers approval at every phase gate

How it works

Six phases, one continuous flow.

  1. 01

    Discovery

    Scout maps the problem space.

  2. 02

    POC

    Forge proves the core hypothesis.

  3. 03

    Business Viability

    Sensei pressure-tests model + cost.

  4. 04

    Design & Planning

    Blueprint + Pixel finalize the shape.

  5. 05

    Development

    Forge + Vigil + Aegis build and harden.

  6. 06

    Launch & Growth

    Herald ships and signal-tracks.

Why KageOps

Not another chat wrapper.

Phase-gated

Hard gates between Discovery, POC, Design, Build, Launch.

Cost-capped

Per-run USD ceiling. Kill switch every 3s.

Local-first

Embedded Postgres. Your code never leaves your box.

Multi-provider

Claude, OpenAI, OpenRouter, Ollama, Gemini.

Auditable

Every agent step logged. Every prompt versioned.

Open

Inspect prompts. Override agents. Fork the matrix.

The relay

From prompt to production artifact.

Every run carries a hard USD cap. Sensei polls cost every three seconds. Cross the line and the entire orchestration halts cleanly — no zombie agents, no surprise bills.

Talk to Sensei

One conversation. Nine specialists working.

Decomposing into 6 phases. Routing to Scout for segments, Pixel for tokens, Forge to scaffold. Cap engaged at $0.50.

Two segments: hobbyist growers + apartment beginners. Brief written. Handing to Blueprint.

BP
blueprint · 14:24:18

Static SSG. Three pages: home / posts / about. Markdown + tokens.css. Decision register updated.

Guardrails

Safety isn't a feature flag.

Path-scoped I/O

Every agent file write is repo-scoped. Traversal blocked.

Parameterized SQL

No string concat. No injection surface.

Phase gates

Trust level controls when humans must approve.

Audit log

Every prompt, response, cost — recorded.

What we believe

A different kind of agentic dev tool.

"Agents that can spend money should answer to a kill-switch."
— Cost guard, polled every 3s
"Specialists beat generalists. Nine sharp tools beat one fuzzy one."
— The Autonaut roster
"Local-first means your code, your keys, your machine. No exceptions."
— Embedded Postgres + BYO providers
FAQ

Common questions.

Is my code sent to the cloud?

No. KageOps runs locally. Your repo never leaves your machine unless you opt into cloud burst.

Which providers are supported?

Claude, OpenAI, OpenRouter, Ollama (local), and Gemini. Mix per agent.

How does the cost cap work?

Sensei polls aggregate spend every 3 seconds and aborts the run cleanly when the cap is reached.

Can I override agent prompts?

Yes. All prompts live in versioned files. Fork, tweak, ship.

Is there a free tier?

Solo is free with your own API keys. Pro adds cloud burst and pooled keys.
