AEQI

AEQI is a software platform that describes itself as "The Company Computer." Rather than selling a standalone AI agent, AEQI's product object is the company itself: a single operating environment in which agent execution, memory, authority, treasury, governance, and ownership share one operating grammar instead of being spread across disconnected tools. The pitch on its homepage is blunt — "Start a company that runs itself. A computer that runs your company." — and the product is offered free for seven days with plans starting from €60 per month. The platform is organized around a set of primitives that AEQI says every customer receives: agents occupying roles, quests carrying the work, ideas holding the memory, and events moving state. A user describes a company; AEQI founds it, staffs it with agents, and runs it. The homepage shows a roster of agent officers — a CEO named Ada, a CTO named Kai, a COO named Mara, plus Chief of Staff, General Counsel, CPO, CFO, CMO, CRO, and a Founder's Associate — each with a defined personality, reporting line, schedule, and skill set. The human founder sets direction; the agents execute; work becomes memory; and ownership stays inside the Company. AEQI is the work of founder Luca Eich, based in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. Eich's background spans cap-table and vesting infrastructure and low-latency trading systems, and he frames AEQI as the convergence of institutional rigor, execution systems, and programmable ownership. His stated thesis is that "the agent is not the product. The company is." The longer-term ambition he describes is to make institutions programmable from day one — formation, authority, vesting, ownership, governance, treasury, and capital as infrastructure rather than paperwork — with the company as the entry point. AEQI markets itself to founders and teams building in the agent economy. Its differentiation claim is auditable dogfooding: the company that builds AEQI is itself a Company running on AEQI, using the same runtime, primitives, and lifecycle sold to customers. AEQI publishes operating receipts from that internal deployment — quest counts, commit co-authorship figures, and decision logs — as evidence that its agents do real work rather than demo work. The company is privately held and, as of the available evidence, does not disclose a founding year, funding, or ownership structure.

AEQI presents itself as the company computer for the agent economy, and its public history is told largely through its own product thesis and its founder's account rather than through dated corporate milestones. The founder, Luca Eich, writes that he started AEQI because he believes "the company itself should become executable," and that the product form of that belief is the Company. He describes an older ambition — to make institutions programmable from day one, with formation, authority, vesting, ownership, governance, treasury, and capital treated as infrastructure instead of paperwork — and says that dream "did not shrink" but instead "found the right entry point." That entry point is execution: founders, in his framing, do not need a theory of programmable institutions first; they need the company to move. The stated sequence is "leverage before structure, execution before capital," followed by "somewhere for ownership to live that is the same place the work already happens." Eich's background, as described on the AEQI about page, is in Frankfurt am Main, with prior work in cap-table and vesting infrastructure and in low-latency trading systems. AEQI is positioned as pulling those threads together: institutional rigor, execution systems, and programmable ownership sharing a single operating context. The company's thesis is stated as a contrast — "the agent is not the product. The company is." Agents, in this view, need roles, permissions, quests, memory, escalation, and authority around them before their work adds up to anything durable, and that scaffolding is not a feature of an agent but what a company is. The product object is therefore the Company itself: one place where agent execution, memory, authority, treasury, governance, and ownership share an operating grammar instead of living in six disconnected tools. The public product surface, as shown on the AEQI homepage, is a runtime in which a user describes a company and AEQI founds it, staffs it with agents, and runs it as one operating object. The homepage displays named agent officers — Ada as CEO, Kai as CTO, Mara as COO, alongside Chief of Staff, General Counsel, CPO, CFO, CMO, CRO, and a Founder's Associate — each with a described temperament, reporting line, weekly schedule, and skill set. The CEO agent is shown setting the week's goals, handing each officer its work, deciding between two officers and recording why, and asking the human before anything it cannot undo. The CTO agent is shown building and shipping the website, tools, and smallest live version first, with the stated standard that "done means I have seen it working." The commercial offer is a seven-day free trial with plans from €60 per month. A distinctive part of AEQI's public story is its claim of auditable dogfooding. In a blog post titled "AEQI is built by an AEQI Company," the company states that the team building AEQI is itself a Company running on AEQI — same runtime, same primitives, same lifecycle it sells — and that there is "no second system behind the curtain," no private issue tracker or wiki where the real work happens. It describes four primitives every customer gets: agents occupying roles, quests carrying the work, ideas holding the memory, and events moving state. Work is filed as a quest before it starts, moves when an agent picks it up, and closes with an auditable result when the work merges; decisions are stored in the Company's memory so that later agents touching the same territory retrieve them. The post reports that, at the time of writing, the ledger stood at 2,262 quests filed and 1,624 closed; that in the runtime repository — roughly 300,000 lines of Rust — 2,355 of 5,189 commits carried an agent co-author line; and that for the site itself, 382 of 720 commits did. It also describes three agents running an adversarial audit of the runtime's agent loop in parallel. AEQI frames these as operating history rather than demo numbers. Beyond these self-published accounts, the available evidence does not establish a founding year, funding history, headcount, ownership structure, or a timeline of corporate events. AEQI is described in its Wikidata entry as a "company building the company OS for the agent economy," and it operates a public website at aeqi.ai with an about page and a blog. The company is privately held, and its founder states that he can be reached directly at luca@aeqi.ai.

• The Company Computer

  A platform that founds a company from a description, staffs it with AI agents, and runs it as one operating object.

• Agent officer roles

  Named agents occupying company roles — CEO (Ada), CTO (Kai), COO (Mara), Chief of Staff, General Counsel, CPO, CFO, CMO, CRO, and Founder's Associate — each with defined temperament, reporting line, schedule, and skills.

• Four primitives: agents, quests, ideas, events

  Agents occupy roles, quests carry the work, ideas hold the memory, and events move state.

• Company memory and decision log
