Copula Describe your idea
Tell Product what you want in your own words. Product studies best practices and turns it into a Business Requirement (BR) — no massive specs to write yourself.
Open Beta Testing
Not another AI agent.
A ready-to-ship AI dev team.On your own servers.
Six specialized agent roles, model-split orchestration, cross-repo parallelism with cross-verification — all on your infrastructure. Your code never leaves.

A set of teams optimized and tailored for specific tasks, achieving high efficiency, speed, and low request costs.
Dev Team
AvailableSix specialized agent roles for iterative product development — Product, RnD, Developer, QA, DevOps, and optional E2E.
Nexus
Q4 2026Global hub for all teams for cross-team interactions and automations.
Delivery Team
Q4 2026Team for setting up dev/stage/prod environments, real-device testing, and release automation.
Marketing Team
Q1 2027Team for market research, trends analysis, and trending content generation (video, audio, text).
Meet Your AI Team
Six specialized roles working as one dev team — with model-split orchestration that keeps cost down and quality up.
Product
Your interface to the team
Turns your idea into a Business Requirement (BR). Studies best practices and expands what you describe into a clear, detailed brief the rest of the team can act on.
RnD
Vision and decomposition
Takes the BR and produces a Vision & Scope (V&S), then deterministically decomposes it into concrete jobs the rest of the team can execute.
Developer
Writes the code
Implements each job end-to-end: edits files, runs tools, runs the build, and merges the result to git. Cheap models do the heavy lifting; the harder decisions stay with smart ones.
QA
Verifies the work
Builds, runs tests, validates completion criteria. Cross-checks the Developer's output and retries with backoff until the job is done or escalated to you.
DevOps
Deploy and infrastructure
Handles SSH access, deployment, and infrastructure. Ships the result to your servers so the work does not just sit in a branch.
E2E
End-to-end browser testing
Optional stage driven through Chrome DevTools MCP. Walks the real running UI, validates flows, and catches what unit tests miss.

How It Works
From idea to merged code in five observable steps
RnD scopes and decomposes
RnD converts the BR into a Vision & Scope (V&S), then deterministically decomposes it into discrete jobs the rest of the team can pick up and execute.
Developer builds, merges to git
Developer implements each job end-to-end: edits files, runs tools, runs the build, and commits the result back to git. You can keep working from anywhere while this happens.
QA verifies with cross-checks
QA runs the build, the tests, and the completion criteria, cross-checking the Developer's work. Failed checks retry with backoff — up to three attempts before escalation to you.
Delivery, with optional E2E
When QA signs off, the change ships. DevOps handles the merge and deploy on your servers, and E2E runs through Chrome DevTools MCP for live UI verification when you want it.
Key Advantages
Why orchestration and verification beat one big agent
Token-efficient orchestration
Specialized roles keep each agent's context tight, so the whole pipeline uses dramatically fewer tokens than a single-agent end-to-end run.
20xfewer tokens vs OpenClaw
Model split for cost and quality
Smart, expensive models handle the head (Product, RnD); cheap, fast models handle the hands (Developer, QA). You get top-model quality without the top-model bill.
10-20xlower cost at Opus-class quality
Cross-repo parallel execution
Jobs run in parallel across multiple repositories. Each repository's technical overview is regenerated automatically so context stays in sync without manual upkeep.
Cocoindex semantic search
Agents find what they need by meaning, not by filename — across your entire codebase, your artifacts, and your session history.
Self-hosted privacy
Runs entirely on your infrastructure. Your code, prompts, and outputs never leave your servers, and you can audit every step.

Copula vs Alternatives
Most AI coding tools ship you a single agent. Copula ships you a self-hosted team with model-split orchestration, cross-repo parallelism, and cross-verification.

Under the Hood
What actually powers Copula — beyond the agent team itself.
MCP tool ecosystem
Chrome DevTools, SSH, files, archives, web search — agents call them through a unified Model Context Protocol layer so each role stays focused on its job.
Artifact-based workflow
Business Requirements and Vision & Scope live as versioned artifacts. Every iteration references them, so decisions stay traceable end-to-end.
Kanban pipeline
Every job moves through planning, pending, in_progress, done or failed. You see the live board at any moment.
Built-in analytics
Token spend, cost, savings, the file-change tree, trends over time, per-agent productivity — all surfaced, all exportable.
SSH and DevOps deploy
Agents push to your servers via SSH. No SaaS dependency, no proxy — your infrastructure stays yours.
Persistent per-agent memory
Each role keeps its own memory across sessions, so context carries forward instead of restarting every run.
