The knowledge-grounded AI assistant, already on duty
KBA (Knowledge-Base Assistant) is phase one of the KBC vision: an AI assistant that knows, executes and retains. Strategic decisions stay with humans — first it proves that a knowledge-driven AI can reliably run a company's daily operations.
What KBA is — and is not
In one line: not a chatbot, not a tool collection — part of an operating entity.
Not a chatbot
An assistant with goals
It works against the knowledge base — weekly plans, weekly reviews and monthly checkpoints run on their own, without waiting to be asked.
Not a tool collection
An executor that commands tools
750+ skills and 20+ pipelines on board; when a task arrives it decomposes, orchestrates and delivers.
Not an autonomous CEO
A tiered-trust business participant
Autonomous at execution, proposing at tactics, returning strategy to humans — trust is earned one tier at a time.
Four components: how it runs
Cortex, muscle memory, nerves and the offline channel — four parts make up KBA's body.
Knowledge graph
The knowledge-base graph is the cortex: retrieval, provenance, long-term memory. Every strategy doc, decision log and project status lives there — searchable and traceable.
Skill library
Wegent Skills are the muscle memory: 750+ executable skills, 20+ pipelines. Research, content, publishing, monitoring — the moves are in the muscle, invoked means executed.
Multi-agent gateway
OpenClaw is the nervous system: task decomposition, multi-agent dispatch, multi-channel access. Cron wake-ups, heartbeat patrols, direct-to-Lark — the signal never stops.
Human executive director
Danny is the offline channel: offline execution, external comms, unblocking processes. Whatever the physical world demands, the director walks the last mile.
On duty: what it does every day
Not a concept demo — these rhythms run for real, driven by cron and heartbeat.
Review operating data
Records gaps between decisions and outcomes, updates the knowledge graph — same-day close, same-day log.
Draft the weekly plan
Aligns with the three-line validation track, allocates the week's tasks; the report reaches the executive director directly.
Weekly retrospective
Audits output against the plan, registers decision-log entries, banks the week's lessons.
Monthly checkpoint
Assesses each business line's health, updates the roadmap, escalates material deviations for adjudication.
Autonomy tiers: L1 tasks run via cron directly; L2 suggestions ship as proposals, effective unless objected; L3 is report-only, never executed.
Growth path: four steps from assistant to CEO
Written into the charter — each step stands on the trust earned by the last.
Decision-supporting
Advises and executes; humans decide — where KBA stands today.
Operations-running
Autonomous on day-to-day operations; humans decide the majors.
Strategy-leading
Sets strategic direction autonomously; humans keep the veto.
Fully autonomous
The company runs itself; humans are shareholders — this tier is KBC.
KBA is phase one. KBC is the destination.
When the foundation holds — decisions explainable, permissions tiered, errors rollback-safe — the assistant grows into the CEO.
