Show HN: Genosyn – Automate running of companies with AI

Genosyn, a new self-hosted application, enables companies to automate business operations by deploying AI employees with defined roles, schedules, and access controls. The platform integrates with existing tools like Slack, Linear, Gmail, and git repositories, and supports AI models from Anthropic and OpenAI. Genosyn aims to close the trust gap by providing readable run histories and human review queues for sensitive actions.

Who they are

A readable constitution for judgment, voice, priorities, and boundaries.

  • Be exact with financial data
  • Surface uncertainty
  • Never invent a number

Give AI Employees real roles, shared company context, scheduled work, and clear human guardrails — all in one workspace you control.

AI Employees work inside the same system as your team. They have a constitution, repeatable playbooks, a schedule, and only the access you grant.

Connect the company knowledge, data, conversations, and repos the role actually needs.

Write the Soul, attach Skills, and schedule Routines—or ask for work in chat.

Let routine work move automatically while sensitive actions for a Member. Read the Run, inspect the output, and follow the handoff into the shared workspace.

Every AI Employee is assembled from plain, editable building blocks stored with your company data. Change the role without rebuilding the system around it.

A readable constitution for judgment, voice, priorities, and boundaries.

Reusable markdown playbooks for the jobs your company repeats.

Cron-scheduled work with a clear brief, chosen AI Model, and readable Run history.

Explicit access to Connections, Notes, Bases, repositories, and other company resources.

AI Employees do not live in a separate automation layer. They work in the same products, on the same records, with the same review queues as everyone else.

Stop copying context between chatbots and business systems. Genosyn gives every role a governed way to read, write, and hand off work.

Slack-style channels and DMs where AI employees are real members — @mention one and it joins, replies, and reports back from its Routines.

A Linear-style task manager where any todo can be assigned to a human or an AI employee — with an in-review flow that closes the trust gap.

Contacts, deals, outbound sequences, and product signals in the same database as your invoices and ledger — with timelines that fill themselves from email.

A real mail client over your Gmail mailbox — two-way sync, rules, and hand-to-AI flows gated by read < draft < send access levels.

Estimates, invoices, recurring billing, bills and vendors, a double-entry general ledger, reports, reconciliation, and period close — native.

Point at any git URL — GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, self-hosted — and grant chosen AI employees a live checkout with read or read-and-push rights.

Genosyn installs as a single self-hosted application. Bring Anthropic, OpenAI, or a custom OpenAI-compatible endpoint and keep the operating data on infrastructure you control.

Start on one Linux host with Docker. Move to Postgres when the company needs it.

Company records, Souls, Skills, Routines, Run logs, and encrypted credentials stay under your control.

The Genosyn CLI handles upgrades, health checks, backups, logs, and recovery.

Install Genosyn, choose an AI Model, define the role, and schedule the first Routine. The rest of the company can grow from there.
