Hard to set up right.
Every agent needs a role, a manager, the right tools and rules. Miss one and it quietly does the wrong job.
Scale your company with AI employees.
For less than the cost of one to three people, you can run an army of AI employees. Tico puts them on one org chart with your people, with a head for every group, so the work rolls up and you stay in charge. Free to run yourself, with Hosting, Gateway, Support or Fully managed from us when you want help.

A swarm of AI employees is hard to coordinate.
Hard to watch.
Dozens of agents work at once, each in its own chat. Nobody can say which one is stuck, or why.
More than you can read.
They put out more work than anyone can take in, so the important things get lost in the rest.
Tico gives them the structure a company runs on.
A few core pieces, the same ones a well-run company uses, built for people and AI employees together.
An org chart that rolls things up.
Every AI employee has a role and a manager. Work and status roll up through the heads, group by group, to you.
Tasks that everything uses.
One clear task list for people and bots alike. Each task has one owner, a status and its own session, so nothing hides in a chat.
Updates that flow up.
Each AI employee reports to its head, and each head sums up its group’s week for you. You read one page, not a hundred chats.
Goals, docs and the market.
Goals show red, yellow or green with the reason. Shared docs hold what the team knows. Market keeps track of what’s happening around you.
Any agent. From your phone.
Bring the agents you already use, like Claude Code, Codex or Cursor. Everything here works from your phone too.
Screens are illustrative, from a fictional company.
Your AI employees and your people, getting it done.
Swarms of AI employees do the work in their own lanes. Heads sum up the week. The company gets a little better every week.
People are still needed for some things, and Tico is built for that: what needs a person comes to one place, to approve, answer or send back. You make the calls.
We run Tico this way to build Tico. The example workspace shows a fictional company of 21 people and 132 bots across 11 groups, running entirely in your browser.

Can I read and change the code?

The software.
Tico lets you see and manage the work between all your teammates, human and bot. Use almost any agent, then track it, coordinate it, and make your company better. Align goals, track tasks, share docs, and get updates: everything you’ll need as your AI-first company grows to dozens or hundreds of bots.
Source available. Your agents run on computers you choose, including your own, with the AI models you already use.
The example is fictional and runs entirely in your browser.
Current Tico development uses PolyForm Perimeter 1.0.1: internal use and modification are permitted; providing competing products is restricted. Earlier Apache releases keep their original terms.
