Self Improving AI to Run your Whole Business
Six AI employees, one company
Open Company runs the functions a small business actually needs. Each role works continuously, reports what it produced, and costs a fraction of the headcount it replaces.

Tokens in, work out, revenue back
The whole system is one loop you can watch. Nothing happens off the record.
Tokens go in
You set a budget. The silo meters LLM tokens onto the line as work arrives, so spend is a dial you control rather than a surprise at the end of the month.
AI employees do the work
Six specialists sit at their stations. Each one owns a function end to end — writing the code, closing the books, answering the lead — and hands off finished output, not suggestions.
Revenue comes back
Finished work reaches customers, customers pay, and the money returns to the vault. Every run reports what it cost and what it earned, so the loop is auditable.
Self-hosted by default
Open Company is open source and runs on your own infrastructure. Your documents, your customers and your books stay on machines you control — there is no vendor sitting between you and your own business data. Bring your own model keys, audit every action the agents take, and change anything you disagree with.
How Open Company compares
People weigh Open Company against workflow automation tools and against agent runtimes. It is neither: it is the organisation that sits on top of one.
