Agents for Founder Mode

They fly. They return.
They remember.

The founding team you need but could never afford to hire.

A flock of AI agents—each with their own role and expertise—working together so you don't have to hold it all alone.

How It Works

A flock, not a chatbot

Each agent holds a distinct mode of thinking—asking the questions you forgot to ask. Your Pack determines which agents you work with, such as:

🎯

Strategist

“Is this the right bet?”

Holds the big picture. Challenges assumptions. Asks what would have to be true.

📋

Assistant

“What needs to happen today?”

Crisp and efficient. Calendar, tasks, follow-ups. Morning briefings that matter.

💰

Treasurer

“Can we afford this?”

Tracks your money. Burn rate, runway, revenue. No surprises.

🔭

Scout

“What's happening out there?”

Monitors your world. Competitors, trends, opportunities. Alerts that matter.

✍️

Storyteller

“How do I show up?”

Your voice, refined. Newsletters, pitches, updates. Consistent narrative.

🧭

Mentor

“Am I getting better?”

Warm but challenging. Calls out avoidance. Pushes for growth.

💜

Counselor

“Am I okay?”

Unhurried. Non-judgmental. When you need to vent. Completely private.

Plus domain specialists from your Pack—like Shipper, Beat Monitor, or Proposal Writer

Boundaries by design

Your agents don't gossip. Information flows where you decide.

🏠

Local-first

Your data stays on your infrastructure. No surprise training on your conversations.

🔒

Compartmentalized

Each agent has specific access permissions. The Counselor's conversations stay in a vault—by architecture, not policy.

Information flows up

Operational context can inform strategy. Personal conversations never leak to operations.

Why We Built It This Way

A distro, not a platform

Dovecote is built on OpenClaw, the open-source agent framework. Think of it like Linux: OpenClaw is the kernel, Dovecote is the opinionated distribution—pre-configured for founders who don't want to start from scratch.

What Dovecote adds

  • Agent personas tuned to founder cognition—not generic assistants
  • Domain knowledge baked in, informed by practitioners in each field
  • Privacy architecture where agents have boundaries—not just policies
  • Onboarding that meets you where you are, not where the tool wants you to be

What stays open

  • The underlying agent framework (OpenClaw) remains fully open source
  • Your data stays on your infrastructure—export or delete anytime
  • Connectors and integrations come from the ecosystem, not lock-in
  • If you outgrow the distro, the kernel is still yours

We're not trying to build another walled garden. We're trying to make powerful tools accessible to people running real organizations—without requiring a technical co-founder or a spare month to configure everything yourself.

We set it up with you

This isn't a self-serve SaaS. We work with early users directly to configure your flock, connect your tools, and make sure it actually fits your workflow.

1

Pick a Pack that fits

Start with a domain configuration—digital products, local news, consulting—and we'll adjust it to your specifics.

2

Connect where you already work

Telegram, Discord, Slack, or email. Your agents meet you in your existing channels.

3

Agents unfurl as you're ready

Not everything activates at once. Each agent demonstrates value before the next arrives—so you're never overwhelmed.
