Kernel

AI tools are great at individual tasks but terrible at continuity. You can ask Claude to write code, but it doesn't know about the plan you made yesterday, the bug you filed this morning, or the three things you need to ship by Friday. Work happens across Slack, terminals, files, and your head. Nothing ties it together.

Kernel is an AI orchestration system that lives in Slack. You talk to it naturally — 'start a new worker for the auth refactor,' 'what's the status on the brand pipeline,' 'log this idea for later.' It spawns Claude Code workers for builds, tracks multi-step plans with progress and backlog items, manages daily captures and weekly reviews, and writes everything to a structured vault (Obsidian) for permanent memory. Workers run unattended. Plans persist across sessions. The system knows what you're building and where you left off.

It's not a chatbot wrapper. It's infrastructure. Kernel spawns autonomous workers, manages their lifecycle, tracks costs, logs decisions, and maintains operational memory across days and weeks. The security model handles unattended agent execution — not just 'I'm at the keyboard' assumptions. It's the difference between a tool and a system.
