FAQ

What AI models does it support?

Currently supports Claude (Anthropic) via API key. OpenAI GPT and local models (Ollama) support is planned. Bring Your Own Keys (BYOK) means you control costs.

Is my data sent to any server?

No. Tycono runs 100% locally on your machine. Your files stay on your disk. The only external calls are to the LLM API you configure (e.g., Claude API). No telemetry, no tracking.

How is this different from ChatGPT or Cursor?

ChatGPT/Cursor are single-agent tools. Tycono simulates a full organization with multiple roles, hierarchy, delegation, and persistent knowledge. Think of it as building a company, not chatting with a bot.

Can I customize roles and add my own?

Yes. Roles are defined in YAML files. You can create any role (Data Analyst, DevOps, Writer, etc.), define their persona, authority scope, and reporting structure. The org chart adapts automatically.

What happens to knowledge over time?

Everything is saved as Markdown files in a Git repo. Knowledge accumulates, cross-links form, and your AI company gets smarter over time. Git = save file. Branch, revert, time-travel.
