Overview

I built some software that helps me build more software.
It’s called Bosun (pronounced “the agents boss‑n”).

Bosun is an AI supervisor that can autonomously churn through work using Codex / Copilot / Claude SDKs, and it comes with its own workflow builder.
Think of it as n8n + Trello, but instead of wiring webhooks you’re wiring agents, steps, merge strategies, review gates, tools, etc.

How Bosun Works

• A version is already working and can supervise tasks end‑to‑end.
• The AI supervisor can even improve itself, so the software that builds software is now building itself while I sleep.
• Bosun is not a “leap” in machine‑learning self‑evolution; it’s a recursive self‑development system that lets you experiment with autonomous agents and measure how foundation models improve on longer tasks.

Why Use Bosun?

“Do you really want to keep watch over an agent working for 5 hours—and when it eventually fails (because they always do), be the prompt keeper?
Or would you rather hand that off to a system that can adopt your workflows, templates, prompts, skills, tools, and processes, continuously iterating on them?”

Bosun aims to take over the repetitive monitoring and prompt‑tuning work, allowing you to focus on higher‑level decisions.
