SenteLabsAI open sources Open Executive, an AI executive team built on Claude
SenteLabsAI has released Open Executive, an Apache 2.0 self-hosted system that routes user messages through an orchestrator to eight specialist Claude agents covering strategy, finance, HR, legal, operations, marketing, product, and board communications.
Open Executive packages the executive function as deployable code: a FastAPI service, a Next.js UI, ChromaDB-backed RAG, and SQLite episodic memory, all under Apache 2.0. Adopting it requires an Anthropic API key, Python 3.11, Node 22, and tolerance for a multi-minute first boot while ChromaDB and sentence-transformers are pulled. The scheduler explicitly does not support horizontal scaling without additional gating, and the prompt cache only covers static persona and company profile blocks.

An Executive Orchestrator (claude-sonnet-4-6 by default) routes each turn in parallel to eight specialist agents, with extended thinking on claude-opus-4-7 reserved for CSO, CFO, GC, and Board roles.
Knowledge is split into a git-tracked MBA-level Markdown corpus and a user-uploaded company_docs collection, both retrieved per specialist call via ChromaDB.
Episodic memory is written by a background claude-haiku-4-5 pass into SQLite and re-injected as a past_decisions block at the start of each session, and the API must run as a single instance until the scheduler is gated for scale-out.
