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_review for 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

1. Onboarding probes your shell PATH for node (agents call the local HTTP API via node -e).
2. Settings → Providers. Sign in or drop a key.
3. 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.

• SQLite local; no external services.
• contextIsolation: true, nodeIntegration: false, Zod-validated IPC.
• Worker constructs new Agent({...}) from @mariozechner/pi-agent-core directly.
• Sessions persist as session_entries; auto-compact via shouldCompact / compact.
• Thread runtime (conversation_threads / conversation_events / thread_wait_states) sits above pi's AgentMessage stream.
