The brief

A company of AI agents you run without writing code: describe what you want, a chief takes the mission, gathers colleagues, delegates, and you get the result — knowing who did the work, who is stuck, and what it used.

Not a graph of agents. A company you watch at work.

Every agent is a permanent employee with a name, a face, seniority, a mission history and a running total of usage. You see the same faces every time you open the app. Your agents are not disposable: they have careers.

Walkthrough

The floor lights up

An office that is always there, seen from above. Nothing that moves on screen is decoration: it shows what is really happening in the company.

Illustration — the real app view is further down
  1. An office that is always there

    The same rooms and the same people every time you open it. The company keeps its staff from one mission to the next.

  2. A finite number of desks

    Every room has its capacity, and you can see it on screen. When work changes hands, people change desks.

  3. Work in progress

    A lit screen means someone is on a mission right now.

  4. One chief per mission

    The chief splits the work, hands each part to a colleague and returns the summary. The mission board is on the wall.

  5. You, at the centre

    The CEO's desk. When a decision is yours to make, a letter lands here.

Zone 5 of 5

Between missions

  • A coffee break, a game of ping-pong: these show people who are genuinely idle, never a random animation. Ping-pong takes two idle people in the same room.
  • The company can have working hours. If you set them, everyone goes home at night and the floor empties: no new mission starts, unless you override the hours.
  • Closing is not killing: a mission in progress runs to the end, even after hours.

OpenClosed — everyone has gone home

No hours are imposed by default: it's your company, so set them if you wish.

Letter no. 1

Mission received

You say what you want. The chief reads the mission, breaks it down and hands each part to a colleague. Desks are limited: when a room is full, the colleague sits in the open space, and the journal says so. When a decision is yours to make, a letter heads for your desk.

Step 4 of 4 One decision is yours alone: the chief writes to you, and the mission pauses without consuming anything.

Letter delivered to the CEO's desk

Inès Marchal is calling you

Two of the three CRMs don't publish their prices: do I compare them on their public plans, or widen to CRMs that publish everything?

Fictional names. Event labels are translated from the app's journal, which is in French today; the demo itself is scripted.

Open the letter

A decision is yours to make

A chief is instructed not to ask your permission to work. They write only when the decision is truly yours: two incompatible directions, a scope so ambiguous that guessing would waste the budget, a finding that contradicts the mission, or a choice that is hard to undo.

Nothing is delivered before the CEO sees it.

Inès Marchal is calling you

From
Inès Marchal, Director — mission chief
To
The CEO
Subject
Mission "comparison of 3 CRMs for a small business"
Used so far (API equiv.)
$0.37 (sample value)
Deadline
she decides on her own in 9 min

Two of the three CRMs don't publish their prices for ten users. Do I compare all three on their public plans, or widen to CRMs that publish everything?

Why I can't decide on my own Either choice changes the deliverable, and guessing what you want would waste the budget.

In the app, a decision letter comes with a free-text reply field; folder and delivery requests are answered with buttons only. Nothing is sent from here: this page calls no model.

See who did the work

And if nobody replies?

No reply from you — the deadline has passed

The chief decides alone, taking the most cautious, most reversible option, and her final reply states which question went unanswered and what she assumed.

The rules of a letter

  1. One question, written for someone who hasn't followed the work.
  2. Up to 4 genuinely different replies: you answer in one click.
  3. At most 3 calls to the CEO per mission: beyond that, the chief decides alone and says so.
  4. While it waits, the mission is paused and consumes nothing.
  5. No reply within 10 minutes? The chief decides alone and writes down what they assumed.

In the app, a chief can also read their call aloud, in a voice synthesised on your machine, offline.

Sample letter — mock-up. Its rules, buttons and deadline come from the app, translated from French; the header layout, names and amount are fictional.

Letter no. 2

The file decides

The personnel file decides who gets the work — not chance, not whoever arrived last.

The AI model belongs to the person and is chosen at hiring: the same company employs different profiles side by side.

You hire, you review, you make the call. The product informs; it never forbids.

Letter no. 3

Nothing leaves without you

Three clauses, enforced by the code, not just promised.

  1. The team writes only in the folder you grant it

    When a chief needs to write files, they ask you in a letter. You choose the folder yourself, or let them carry on without writing.

    I need a folder to write files in. Will you grant me one?

    • Choose a folder…
    • Carry on without writing

    the app's buttons, not clickable here

    No reply, no folder: a right is never won by waiting.

  2. Budgets are capped

    Every mission has its own budget, set at launch. The company also has a monthly cap: once it is reached, no mission can start.

    $0.37

    Used $0.37Stops above $2.00

    illustrative values, in API-equivalent dollars, as in the app

    The budget is checked between work turns: a turn already under way runs to completion, so the total can go over the budget.

  3. Nothing is delivered before you have seen it

    When the work is done, the chief shows you what was written to your folder — file names and sizes — and asks whether to hand it over. What the chief says and what Rubeau has checked are shown separately.

    The work is done. Here is what was written to your folder — shall I hand it over?

    What the chief says — their words, unverified:

    The comparison is ready, with an appendix on pricing.

    What Rubeau has checked:

    • crm-comparison.md — 6 KB
    • pricing-appendix.md — 3 KB

The journal

Everything is an event in the journal

The same source feeds the building on screen, the personnel files and the usage.

Current milestone
Taking a project all the way through to the deliverable: started on 14 September 2026, not yet finished.

Timeline

  1. First commit: a multi-agent engine with no interface, under a code name.

  2. The office on screen, and a first real mission launched from the app.

  3. The company takes shape: the personnel file decides who works, the office has working hours, and the chief writes to the CEO.

  4. The isometric city, the chiefs' voices, and a new name: Steading.

  5. The building takes shape in 3D, and people sit down at their desks.

  6. The building gets its glass lobby, and people walk in 3D instead of teleporting.

  7. Core decisions: the team writes only in the folder you grant, on your own subscription or key. And the delivery letter: nothing is handed over until the CEO has seen it.

  8. More than 2,000 automated tests, and Steading becomes Rubeau.

The only letter on this page that is not a mock-up

A note from the founder

I'm Javad Razavi, and I have been building Rubeau on my own since June 2026.

I wanted to run AI agents like a team you know well: the same faces, a personnel file, a cost, and a letter when a decision is mine to make.

What exists today: a Windows app that runs real missions on Claude, a company that keeps its staff, a journal where everything is written down, and more than 2,000 automated tests.

What doesn't exist yet: a public release. The next milestone — taking a project all the way through to the deliverable — has started, but isn't finished yet.

The scenes on this page are illustrations, and each one says so: I would rather show honest work in progress than a product built on promises.

If you want to try it, challenge it or simply talk about it, write to me. I read and answer every message myself.

Javad RazaviFounder of Rubeau

For investors

Rubeau is for people who don't write code but have work to hand over. Once an app runs a whole company of agents, the real question becomes: who do I keep, who costs too much, who keeps failing? A developer can read logs to find out; everyone else can't. Rubeau answers that question with a measured personnel file, finite capacity and a letter to the CEO.

Today, the app runs on Windows, carries out real missions on Claude and rests on more than 2,000 automated tests. There is no public release yet, and the project is funded by its founder.

I'd like to talk with people interested in joining or backing the project. The address is the same for everyone: a first conversation is simply a chance to get to know each other and look at the product together.

The real thing

Real screenshots from the app

This strip shows only images captured from the app itself. No illustration slips in. The work scenes are an on-screen replay of a real past mission.

One mission, start to finish

A replay of a real mission, sped up: the request, the chief taking it on, the delegation, then the report back to the CEO. No sound.
