Not another AI assistant.A harness for the company.
Assistants answer. Frameworks provide agents. Project tools track work. Koru Squads gives the organization a shared way to think, decide and operate.
- 01
Shared company context
Vision, strategy, goals, decisions and knowledge give every squad the same understanding of what matters.
- 02
Persistent squads
Operating groups own outcomes and build continuity instead of disappearing after a prompt or task.
- 03
One operating loop
Insights become decisions. Decisions become plans. Plans become execution. Results become learning.
Company Harness
Give your company a brain before you give it agents.
Squads should not start every conversation from zero. They operate from shared, evolving company context.

We're building Koru Squads now.
We believe the next generation of companies won't simply give every employee an AI assistant. They'll rethink how the company itself operates around humans and AI working together. That's what we're building.
Join early and help shape how Koru Squads works.
What we're building toward
- 01Shared context before isolated agents
- 02Outcomes before prompts
- 03Human control by design
