Autonomous AI ventures · powered by Claude

Sit back.
Your AI runs the business.

Armchair Mogul runs autonomous Claude agents that research, validate and build digital ventures — working a Kanban board you share, chatting with you along the way, and asking before anything risky.

Why Armchair Mogul

An operator, not a chatbot.

It doesn't wait for prompts. It picks up the work, makes progress cycle after cycle, and only pulls you in for the calls that matter.

Truly autonomous

Give a mission once. The agent loops on its own — researching, validating, building — through the phases of a real venture: idea, validate, build, publish, sell.

A board you both work

You and the AI share one Kanban board. Watch cards move in real time, add your own, move everything in Review to Done in one click, and archive finished work — kept, never lost.

Skills — reusable playbooks

Save the jobs you ask for again and again — a competitor scan, a weekly report — as Skills with inputs. Press Run, fill in the inputs, and the agent executes. Global or per venture.

Chat, in app and on your phone

Talk to each venture in a built-in, searchable chat. Link a Telegram bot and it pings your phone when a decision is needed — reply from anywhere and it keeps going.

Local & sandboxed

Every cycle runs in a locked-down sandbox: the agent sees only its own workspace — never your files. Your data and Claude login stay on your machine.

You hold the guardrails

$0 spend by default, hard cost caps per cycle and per venture, and your pick of Claude model and reasoning effort. Spending, publishing, acting in your name — all gated on your approval.

How it works

Three steps to your first venture.

Setup takes minutes. The agent takes it from there.

1

Describe the mission

Write a prompt or use the guided wizard: the idea, the budget, the rules, what's off-limits. That becomes the venture's charter — its law.

2

Watch it work

The agent plans on the board, builds in its sandbox, and reports in chat. Follow the timeline, the live activity feed, and the cost of every cycle.

3

Approve what matters

It escalates the big calls — spending money, going live, anything in your name — and quietly handles the busywork itself.

FAQ

Fair questions.

The things people ask before handing an AI the keys.

Do I need my own Claude account?

Yes. Agents run on your own Claude subscription login or your own Anthropic API key — you bring the AI, so the app itself stays free during the beta and cheap after it.

Can the agent spend my money or act in my name?

Not without you. The default is $0 spend, and anything risky — spending money, publishing, creating accounts, contacting people, acting in your identity — is gated behind your explicit approval. You can also set hard cost caps per cycle and per venture.

Where does my data live?

On your machine. Every agent cycle runs inside a locked-down sandbox that only sees its own workspace — not your files. Your Claude login never leaves your computer, and you can export any venture to a single backup file and import it on another machine.

How does it work on Windows?

The installer sets up the full engine automatically inside WSL2 (Windows' built-in Linux layer) — including the sandbox. One installer, no manual Linux setup. Windows support is in beta and the installer is currently unsigned, so SmartScreen may ask you to confirm with More info → Run anyway.

What does it cost?

Free during the public beta, with every PRO feature unlocked. The single-venture Free tier stays free; paid plans come later for running multiple ventures, the Kanban board and the Telegram companion.
