This sub will appreciate a straight technical explanation over a pitch so that’s what I’ll give you. The problem we set out to solve was orchestration. Not building any individual component, websites are solved, payments are solved, copy generation is mostly solved. The hard problem was getting a system of agents to make coherent business decisions across all of those components simultaneously in a way that produces something that actually functions as a business rather than a collection of individually working parts that don’t talk to each other. Here’s roughly how Locus Founder is structured: The intake agent handles the initial business scoping, if the user has an idea it extracts the relevant parameters, if they don’t it runs a structured interview and proposes options based on market data. That output feeds into the build layer. The build layer runs parallel agents handling storefront generation, product sourcing, copy writing, and pricing simultaneously rather than sequentially. The coordination problem here was getting agents that are optimizing for different things, conversion, margin, brand consistency, to produce outputs that are coherent with each other without a human in the loop stitching it together. The operations layer is where it gets interesting. Once the business is live a persistent agent monitors performance across Google, Facebook and Instagram ad accounts, adjusts spend allocation based on conversion data, refreshes creative when performance drops, and handles the ongoing sourcing and fulfillment coordination. Continuous autonomous operation rather than a one time build. The honest version of where we are: the build layer works consistently. The operations layer works well in most cases but edge cases keep surfacing where the agent makes a decision that a human would immediately recognize as wrong. That’s the problem we’re most focused on right now, not capability but judgment. We got into YCombinator this year. Opening 100 free beta spots this week for people who want to actually get in and stress test the system. Especially interested in feedback from people in this sub who think about agent architecture seriously.
