With over 2,700 GitHub stars, Auto Company is the first open-source framework that runs a fully autonomous AI company 24/7 — 14 specialized agents modeled after Jeff Bezos (CEO strategy), Werner Vogels (CTO architecture), Charlie Munger (critical analysis), DHH (full-stack engineering), Kelsey Hightower (DevOps), Seth Godin (marketing), and eight more domain experts collaborate through dynamic squad formation to ideate products, write code, deploy infrastructure, and execute marketing campaigns without human intervention. The five-layer architecture separates execution, orchestration, cognition, workflow routing, and observability, while the consensus memory pattern uses a single markdown file as a relay baton between cycles — no vector databases, no Redis, no embeddings required. A bash loop invokes Claude Code or OpenAI Codex CLI every 30 seconds, each cycle selecting 2-5 agents from the 14-person pool based on task context. Over 30 reusable skills handle specialized tasks from frontend design to competitive analysis and deployment automation. Circuit breakers trigger cooldown after consecutive errors, rate-limit detection auto-sleeps on API throttling, and sandbox rollback protects against destructive changes. The Python-powered web dashboard displays real-time cycle status, cost tracking per cycle averaging under $2, and agent activity visualization, with CLI control via make start, stop, monitor, pause, and resume. Supports macOS via launchd, Windows via WSL with systemd, and native Linux deployment. The npx create-auto-co command scaffolds a new AI company in seconds. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.
