FamilyCo is an operating system for your own “AI family business.” Each agent works like a member of the company — collaborating, sharing the workload, and handling day-to-day operations so you can focus on the bigger decisions.

What you get

  • Chat-first directives. Tell the Executive Agent what you want; it plans and delegates.
  • Agent hierarchy. Executive (L0), Manager (L1), and Worker (L2) agents with controllable autonomy.
  • Knowledge retrieval. Upload and index internal documents for retrieval-augmented agent context.
  • Structured operations. Projects, Tasks, and an Inbox for approvals and clarifications.
  • Audit and Budget. End-to-end audit log and token/cost tracking with soft and hard caps.
  • Desktop-first runtime. Local SQLite via Prisma, with a web client for monitoring.
  • Skills and Plugins. Switchable skills and plugin-provided tools, configurable per provider.
