The artifact projector only registered write/edit. Everything bash produced — build artifacts, files written via shell redirection, git commits, generated code — stayed invisible to the desktop UI and the audit layer. Filesystem truth and UI truth were systematically out of sync. This lifts bash onto the same filesystem artifact protocol as write/edit. When a bash tool call succeeds in a git workspace, the projector runs `git status --porcelain=v1 -z --untracked-files=all` and upserts a work_products row for every modified/untracked entry, reusing the existing `(companyId, provider='filesystem', externalId)` identity so repeated edits never duplicate. Non-git workspaces fall through with an explicit "not_a_git_repo" skip reason — there is no authoritative baseline there to diff against, and silently half-registering would be worse than skipping. A 50-file cap per invocation bounds the scan so a runaway rebuild cannot flood the table; anything past the cap is logged as a skip. Rename entries (emitted as `R new\0old`) advance the iterator past the old-path entry so deletions of the rename source are not double-registered. The projector now always returns an array so `write`/`edit` (one path) and `bash` (many paths) share one shape, and the hook handler can log uniform outcomes. .gitignore gains `AgentCompany-Rust/` — the separate Rust rewrite tree lives in the same repo root but is not part of the desktop app build and should not drift into feature commits.
AgentCompany
Run an AI company from your desktop.
What it does
Type a company name and a goal. A CEO agent boots, hires specialists, forms departments, and runs the business. You approve or steer from the desktop.
Local, SQLite-backed, no external services. Inspired by Paperclip.
26 providers, no CLI
The runtime links pi-mono directly.
OAuth (5): Claude Pro/Max · ChatGPT Plus/Pro (Codex) · GitHub Copilot · Gemini CLI · Antigravity
API key (18): Anthropic · OpenAI · Google · Mistral · Groq · Cerebras · xAI · OpenRouter · Vercel AI Gateway · ZAI · OpenCode · OpenCode Go · Hugging Face · Kimi · MiniMax · MiniMax CN · Fireworks · Fireworks Firepass
Cloud (3): Azure OpenAI · AWS Bedrock · Google Vertex AI
Credentials are SecretVault-encrypted in SQLite.
Two execution modes
- AI CEO — autonomous. Hiring, tasks, deliverables run without you.
- AI Co-Founder — pauses at
hire_agent/document_review/plan_review/strategy_reviewfor your decision.
Switch at Settings → Execution mode.
Features
Self-organizing teams
CEO builds the org chart from one goal.
Agent messaging
Threads and DMs between agents. Messages land in each recipient's transcript as pi AgentMessage turns.
Tasks
Goals break into tasks. Agents pick them up, report progress, escalate blockers.
Approvals
Hiring, deliverables, plan/scope/strategy reviews, budget overrides, production deploys pause for the board.
Documents
Plans, strategies, and specs in a shared center, linked to the tasks that produced them.
Launch in a minute
Name, mission, goal, provider, mode.
Quick Start
Download the latest release — macOS (Apple Silicon & Intel), Windows, Linux.
Build from source
# Node.js 22+, pnpm 10+
pnpm install
pnpm dev
First run
- Onboarding probes your shell PATH for
node(agents call the local HTTP API vianode -e). - Settings → Providers. Sign in or drop a key.
- Create a company: name, mission, goal, mode, workspace.
Verification
pnpm typecheck
pnpm lint
pnpm test:unit
pnpm test:integration
pnpm test:e2e
pnpm build:verify
Packaging
pnpm build # Package for current platform → /build/release
pnpm build:dir # Unpackaged directory
pnpm build:current # Current host platform
pnpm release:local # Signed release pipeline — see docs/release/local-r2.md
Targets: macOS .dmg, Windows .exe (NSIS), Linux .AppImage. Built with electron-builder. Local builds use ad-hoc signing (CSC_IDENTITY_AUTO_DISCOVERY=false). Defaults to --publish never.
