Agents do the work
you set the gates

Praesepe AI designs and deploys teams of AI agents for businesses. Every install starts with its gates closed, and the owner opens them action by action as each loop earns trust. Founded August 2025; the platform runs in daily production.

Leadership and manager agents with defined roles and reporting lines direct parallel execution agents. A dispatch layer routes the work, and every hand-off lands in a shared memory the whole team reads, so the next agent starts where the last one stopped.

What I built, what I ran

Four chapters, from a 13-year presidency to a 30+ agent operating organization, with the numbers behind each one.

Praesepe AI

Founder & Chief Agent Officer

Aug 2025 – present · Pasadena, CA

30+agents in the operating org
46skills in the agent library
20scheduled jobs in the AI assistant
24/7always-on services on dedicated hardware

An AI agent-operations company that designs and deploys teams of AI agents for businesses, with approval gates the owner controls action by action.

  • Operating org: leadership and manager agents with defined roles and reporting lines direct parallel execution agents, each working from its own skill set.
  • Shared memory: structured hand-offs, decisions and client notes land in one knowledge base the whole team reads, with the people, companies, projects and ideas in it linked to each other, so context carries from one agent, and one day, to the next.
  • Mission Control: a status dashboard with a Waiting-on-you queue (approve / deny / answer) and a switchboard that sets each action's gate (allow, ask or block) for the whole team or one agent, behind token authentication, output redaction and private-network access.
  • Governance: a 46-skill library (sales, delivery, finance and document-generation tiers) that encodes permission policies and approval gates. Every install starts gated; the owner opens the send, spend and publish gates as each loop proves itself.
  • Integrations: custom connectors into the systems a business already runs, semantic search across the team's memory, and an assistant with email ingest and voice-memo transcription.
