Always on. Zero hires.

Run a company without hiring one.

90 seconds — from install to your first AI employee.

You have more ideas than hours.

💸

Hiring costs more than you make

One engineer costs €8,000/month. A content writer, €3,000. Your first idea hasn't paid for either yet.

🔌

Your tools don't talk to each other

ChatGPT writes. Notion stores. Zapier patches. You're the glue — and the glue burns out by Friday.

📱

Work lives on your laptop

You have five windows open to approve one task. Your day-job takes your attention, and the side-project dies quietly.

Three steps. That's all.

No prompt engineering. No "API keys" hunting. No cron jobs. If you can text a friend, you can run an AI company.

1

Hire

Pick the roles you need — CEO, writer, engineer, analyst. Templates are ready, no prompt-writing required.

2

Brief

Tell them the goal — one sentence. They break it into tasks, assign themselves, and start working.

3

Control

Approve big decisions from Telegram with a 👍. Watch live activity in a dashboard on your phone.

What will you automate?

Four common setups. Pick the one closest to what you want — you can add or switch roles later.

🚀

Ship your first product without a team

For founders

Hire a CEO, a developer, a designer, a marketer. They build your MVP, set up landing pages, and start looking for first users — while you keep your day-job.

Example: "Build and launch a habit-tracking iOS app. Budget $50."

🤖

One AI team. One Telegram chat. Everything else handled.

For the Jarvis-users

Email triage, calendar, research, follow-ups, ops. No more juggling ChatGPT, Notion, Zapier, and five tabs of half-written drafts. One chat — everything lives there.

Example: "Every morning, summarise my inbox and pending invoices. Ping me if anything's urgent."

🧭

Agents run the side-project while you're at your day-job

For project owners

Your Etsy shop, podcast, newsletter, coaching practice — whatever the side gig, the AI team handles the admin loop. You wake up to progress, not a to-do list.

Example: "Manage the course launch. Draft emails, schedule posts, answer FAQs. Escalate payments issues."

What's different here.

We're not the first tool in this space. Here's what FideliOS does that we haven't found anywhere else.

💬

Telegram control room, out of the box

Your agents post updates, you approve with 👍, every action is logged. Same dashboard in your pocket as on your laptop — and unlike browser tools, you get push notifications for free.

⚙️

One command to run forever

fidelios service install sets up the right background service on macOS, Linux, or Windows. Your AI team starts with your computer, restarts on crash, and keeps working while you sleep. No Docker wrangling.

📉

Smarter output at a fraction of the cost

Built-in support for Anthropic's new advisor tool — Sonnet executes while Opus 4.7 advises on strategy, for 30-50% cost reduction vs Opus-solo. Plus peak-hour throttling and per-agent budget caps with live spend dashboards. No surprise bills.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need coding skills?
No. If you can open Terminal (Cmd+Space, type "Terminal") and paste one line, you can install FideliOS. From then on everything happens in a web dashboard or Telegram. First time on a Mac? →
How much does it cost?
FideliOS itself is free and open source — no subscription, no "pro tier". You pay the AI provider you choose (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google) for their API usage. Typical side-project: $5–20 per month. A one-person content operation runs around $30–60/month. Set a cap so it never surprises you.
Will my data be safe?
Yes. FideliOS runs entirely on your own computer (or your own cloud VM if you prefer). There's no FideliOS cloud, no data upload, no telemetry. Your agents talk to Claude / OpenAI / etc. directly via your keys — we never see the content. Privacy details →
What if an agent makes a bad decision?
Three layers of guardrails:
  1. 1Approval gates — hiring new agents, publishing content, or spending over a threshold always pings you first.
  2. 2Budget caps — every agent has a hard spending limit per day and per month.
  3. 3Full audit log — every action is recorded, so you can see exactly what happened and undo it.
Can I really run this from my phone?
Two ways to stay in control:
  1. 1Telegram bot — your agents message you updates, you reply to approve or adjust priorities.
  2. 2Mobile web dashboard — same UI as on your laptop, optimised for touch, works in any phone browser.
Can I cancel anytime?
There's nothing to cancel — FideliOS is open source and runs on your machine. To uninstall: fidelios uninstall. Your data stays in ~/.fidelios/ until you delete that too.
What happens when I close Terminal?
The installer asks: "Keep FideliOS running automatically, even after you close Terminal or restart?" Pick Yes — it sets up a background service so your AI team keeps working 24/7. If you said No, you can change your mind later: Keep FideliOS running →
Why not just use Anthropic's Claude Managed Agents?
Anthropic's new Managed Agents run single agents on Anthropic's infrastructure — you pay $0.08/session-hour on top of token costs, and your prompts + tool results go through their sandbox. Great for a solo developer building one agent at a time.

FideliOS is the company-shape of the same idea: 5-50 agents in an org chart, with budgets, approval gates, Telegram remote control, peak-hour throttling — all running on your Mac / VM. Session hours are free (it's your electricity). Data never leaves your machine. Mix-and-match Claude, OpenAI, Gemini, and local models in the same company.

Short answer: use Managed Agents for single agents on Anthropic's cloud. Use FideliOS when you want a self-hosted company of agents you control end-to-end.
Will this work on my older Intel Mac?
Yes. FideliOS supports both Apple Silicon (M1 / M2 / M3 / M4, any variant) and Intel (x86_64, 2020 and earlier) Macs first-class. The installer auto-detects your CPU and installs Homebrew at the right prefix (/opt/homebrew on Apple Silicon, /usr/local on Intel). The embedded PostgreSQL used by FideliOS ships native binaries for both architectures — no Rosetta required.

Minimum macOS version: 12 (Monterey). See the Mac install guide for details.
Can I use Opus 4.7's advisor tool / task budgets / fast mode?
Yes. Every Claude agent in FideliOS exposes these Anthropic beta features as plain config fields:
  • effort: low / medium / high / max — trade speed for quality per-agent
  • betas: advisor-tool-2026-03-01 pairs Sonnet+Opus for 30-50% cheaper agentic runs; task-budgets-2026-03-13 lets Opus 4.7 self-pace
  • maxBudgetUsd: hard spend cap per run
  • fallbackModel: auto-switch if your primary model is overloaded

Your first AI employee is two minutes away.

Free forever. Open source. Runs on your own computer. Your first hire doesn't even know you don't have a company yet.
