Make the Mission visible.
Director is being built to compile the outcome into editable Chunks, dependency-ready leaf Tasks, decisions, and artifact contracts.

Give the work
a shape.
K&E Studios is building a governed, agent-native work platform where objectives become visible Missions before anything runs. People keep the plan, authority, and final judgment.
Abstract brand motion
Drafting rails and Hinge gates—not simulated Agents, status, or execution.

01 / The defining experience
The plan appears before the compute.
Director / Swarm is being designed to start with an outcome and make the proposed organization of work inspectable. Decomposition is never permission.
Illustrative product model · no Mission runtime active
02 / The organization
Independent bodies. One governed contract.
Director / Swarm is being built to coordinate through versioned capabilities. Each product keeps its data, artifacts, release cadence, and failure boundary.
01Coordination
Director / Swarm
The defining visual, human-directed coordination product. Objectives become recursive Missions before work may run.
In development02Coordination researchWaggle + Kea
Machine-state transport paired with an independent decipher, replay, abstention, and capacity layer. Latest checkpoint: exact Qwen3 native-state parity.
Experimental · bounded same-host evidence03ResearchHEATWAKE
A liquidity research system whose synthetic promotion pipeline rejected both learned candidates under frozen baseline and refusal gates.
Synthetic-only negative result · pre-empirical04Open toolsUpgrade Your AI
A growing catalog of focused tools that make an existing AI setup more useful. The first product preview is CPU Workers at /cpu.
Catalog live · source release in preparation05Production productsCastingIron + MacroMail
A public-beta AI UGC production system and a live agent-first email platform, each with its own data, release, and failure boundary.
Public beta / live06Governing mindWilliam Keenan
Founder, engineer, and the accountable FDE inside the system. Agents supply scale; the human keeps judgment.
New York03 / The record
Wonder is earned by receipts.
The site distinguishes public, existing, in-development, fixture-validated, and unclaimed states. A route is evidence of a surface—not proof of a complete product journey.
Inspect the bounded review surfaceA real studio surface
Product, research, work, founder, contact, account, and selected API routes exist today.
Director / Swarm
The defining product is being built. This website does not run a Mission or certify the final founder journeys.
Waggle + Kea
Exact native/full-text parity and same-host fan-out latency utility now pass in bounded Qwen3 fixtures; retained-state cost and non-claims stay visible.
No invisible activation
No live Agent traffic, learned Waggle, email send, paid compute, product migration, or runtime activation is represented here.
04 / The Hinge
The human stays inside the machine.
The upper loop holds the plan. The lower return resolves toward an artifact. The forge square is the human authority gate between decomposition and execution.
