Standing agents

Give AI a job.

Agents that keep a responsibility. They wake on events, schedules and mentions, act across native tools, and ask before anything restricted.

Standing agents

Give agents real responsibility.

They wake on events, schedules and mentions. They act on their own, and ask before anything restricted.

  • On its own
  • Asked first
  • A person

Keep production healthy

Investigates alerts, failures and infrastructure issues, then proposes the fix.

Bolt · On-callWakes when an alert fires

Keep engineering moving

Reviews every change, finds why builds fail, and opens the fix.

Juniper and Sage · Review, CIWake on new commits and failed runs

Stay on top of customers

Works with feedback, customer records and the Slack channels you allow.

Echo · Feedback onlyWakes when mentioned in Slack Connect

Keep product work moving

Watches project events, coordinates tasks, and brings in the right teammate.

Rivet · LeadWakes every morning and on mentions

Roles

Start from a role.

Each one wakes on data ReasonOS already holds. Change any of it, or start blank.

  • Reviewer

    A change request opens or gets new commits

    Scores its risk and reviews the lines that matter.

  • CI fixer

    A CI run fails on the default branch

    Finds the cause and gets the fix opened.

  • On-call

    An alert fires

    Reads traces and logs, says what broke, proposes the fix.

  • Reliability

    Every day

    Compares latency and errors with last week, opens findings.

  • Docs

    A change request merges

    Keeps the docs in step with the code.

  • Feedback

    A mention in Slack

    Files requests and votes for customers. Feedback only.

How it works

Hire. Assign. Let them work.

An agent keeps a job, not a chat window.

Where they work

Where your team already talks.

Chat threads
Group threads of people and agents. A lead agent brings in the rest.
Slack and Slack Connect
Mention the app in a channel; agents answer under their own names.
Comments
An @mention in a task or change request wakes the agent.
Your own Claude Code
Every Agents action is an MCP tool, with your permissions.

What they do

Real work, inside their access.

  • Investigate alerts, failed runs and traces
  • Update tasks, findings and feedback
  • Delegate code changes to a branch’s coding agent
  • Open change requests and post reviews
  • Run the workflows it is allowed to
  • Ask a person before anything restricted
  • Answer with live cards, charts and forms
  • Build its own tools, reviewed like code

Tools

Agents build their own tools.

A tool is a workflow the agent writes and opens as a change request. Merging it is the approval.

  1. 01The agent writes the tool in its project folder.
  2. 02It opens a change request. People review it like any code.
  3. 03Once merged, it runs in CI’s sandbox, never on the agent’s machine.

Enterprise

Your agents. Your rules.

Every limit is enforced by the platform, not by a prompt.

GET /api/v1/projects/checkout/observe/metricsRefused: this agent’s access doesn’t include Observe. Recorded in the audit log.
  • Native permissions

    Agents act as their hirer, narrowed to areas, read or write.

  • Isolated execution

    Each awake agent runs on its own sandboxed machine.

  • Human approvals

    Anything outside its policy waits for the person who hired it.

  • Execution budgets

    Daily or weekly hours. At its budget, it pauses.

  • Audited actions

    Every action, and every refusal, under the agent’s own name.

  • Delegation limits

    A limited agent gains nothing by asking another agent.

  • Customer-facing access

    Choose who may ask: members, linked accounts, or anyone.

  • Slack Connect

    Agents, access ceilings and hourly limits for each shared channel.

Hire your first agent.

Billed by the machine hour while it is awake. It sleeps when idle, and stops at its budget.
