Problem 01 ### Too many hats The same three people write the code, answer customers, close the books and hire. Every context switch costs a day. With GENIA One objective per job, each with its own agent. You set the outcome; GENIA plans it, runs it and asks when it needs you. Problem 02 ### AI sprawl from day one A chat here, a copilot there, five subscriptions on five cards and no idea what each one costs or knows. With GENIA One console for every provider, with a budget per project and spend by person. Switch models without losing what was learned. Problem 03 ### Knowledge that lives in heads Why we chose that vendor, how the deploy works, what the customer said in March. It lives in someone’s memory and inbox. With GENIA Email, documents, repositories and recorded calls in one Knowledge Hub. Ask and get the answer with its source. Your first week ## From sign-up to agents shipping. 3. Day 1 ### Pick your models Choose your AI provider at sign-up and explore the demo project to see agents at work. 4. Day 2 ### Connect what you have Your repositories, your inbox and your shared drive. Each objective only sees what you assign to it. 5. Day 3 ### Your first project Write the outcome in plain language. The Planner proposes objectives, the flow and who runs what. 6. Day 5 ### Agents on your backlog Each issue becomes an objective with its own branch, tests, local commits and a report. You review and merge. 7. Day 7 ### See where the money went Spend by project, model and person, and the questions your agents asked you along the way. What you get ## Everything in GENIA. Sized for a startup. Engineering ### Agents on your backlog. Each issue becomes an objective with its own branch and its own environment. The agent writes the code, runs the tests and leaves local commits with a report. You review and merge. - One branch per issue, nothing pushed without you - A per-project environment declared in a versioned file - Parallel objectives for independent issues Costs ### Every dollar, in plain sight.
