AI today is reactive: it waits for your next prompt. YAGNI is proactive agent Teams you manage like people. Give a Team responsibilities and guardrails, review its work, and it earns autonomy through a track record you can read, while you keep the calls that matter. Paste your company's URL and YAGNI drafts your first team in seconds. You aren't gonna need more software. You need a team that gets better every week. Become a self-improving company.
The best teams I've been on ran on trust. It's what makes a team fast, and it's the hardest thing to build and the easiest to break. I've spent twelve years building and running teams, through two acquisitions, a Techstars batch, and orgs across healthcare, government, and startups big and small, B2C and B2B. That lesson held everywhere.
AI changed my own output more than any tool ever has. But it brought the trust problem back in a new form. More output means a worse signal-to-noise ratio, and the moment you try to put agents to work inside a business you hit a wall: where do you even start? Every tool assumes you'll be directive. Either you prompt each task ("do this thing"), or you wire up an if-this-then-that graph and hope you predicted the work correctly. That's not how anyone actually runs a team.
YAGNI takes the approach I learned managing people. You hand a Team a real slice of the business to own and give it the structure you'd give a new hire: Responsibilities, a Number it's measured on, Commitments with real deadlines, and Rhythms (its recurring work). Then you manage the early work closely. It drafts, you edit and approve, and every correction teaches it how you'd do it next time.
As its track record grows, it climbs a ladder you control: Training → Supervised → Autonomous. At the top it carries the routine, reversible work on its own, every action leaves a Receipt from the source system proving where things actually stand, and you stay in the loop for the calls that matter. Irreversible and high-risk actions stay behind your approval forever, at every level. That's a design commitment, not a model limitation.
Two things I decided early, because I'd want to know them as a buyer. First, it runs exclusively on open-weight models, so it's cheap enough to let Teams work continuously instead of sparingly. Second, it only uses first-party, official integrations, so your data is read where it lives, never sold, never used to train a model.
Humans and Teams work off the same context, and it all collates onto your Front Page, published as a Brief morning, midday, and evening. Monday's status meeting starts at the decisions instead of the recap. Dive into any work with a persistent chat sidebar to so that you always have the context to make the decision.
Who it's for: founders and operators who've become the bottleneck (the person everything routes through), and lean teams who want real leverage from agents without babysitting them.
What to try first, and don't sign up: go to https://yagni.app/build-your-team, paste your company's website, and about 30 seconds later YAGNI hands you a Brief with your first Teams already drafted: what it would own, which tools it would read, and what it would do in week one. Free, anonymous, no card. If the Team it drafts is wrong for your business, I genuinely want to hear why.
Paid plans start at $99/mo when you're ready to put a Team to work. Get 60% off ANY plan for 6 months with code YAGNIPH (60% because we can offer AT LEAST 60% savings of frontier models).
I'll be here all day. Ask me the hard ones: pricing, security, "isn't this just a wrapper," what happens when it screws up. I'd rather answer those in public than in a sales call.
