Quick Start

Start OpenClaw and dispatch tasks:

/aicompany build landing page
/aicompany fix authentication bug
/aicompany review this repository

The Dispatcher automatically routes work to the correct office and worker.

Agent Tools

| Tool | Description | |---|---| | ai_company_dispatch | Submit a task | | ai_company_status | Query dispatch status | | ai_company_result | Retrieve completed results | | ai_company_approve | Approve a pending task | | ai_company_reject | Reject a pending task | | ai_company_list_approvals | List pending approvals |

Gateway RPC

| Method | Description | |---|---| | ai-company.dispatch | Submit task | | ai-company.status | Query status | | ai-company.result | Get results | | ai-company.approve | Approve task | | ai-company.reject | Reject task | | ai-company.list_approvals | List pending | | ai-company.analytics.snapshot | Analytics summary | | ai-company.analytics.query | Query analytics | | ai-company.analytics.detections | Active detections |

CLI

openclaw ai-company dispatch "fix the login bug"
openclaw ai-company status
openclaw ai-company approvals
openclaw ai-company approve <session-key>
openclaw ai-company recover
openclaw ai-company audit --event "approved"

Configuration

{
  "ai-engineering-company": {
    "offices": "config/offices.json",
    "workflows": "config/workflows.json",
    "workers": "assets/workers",
    "boardId": "ai-company"
  }
}

Optional Redis

export AI_COMPANY_REDIS_URL=redis://localhost:6379

Falls back to in-memory automatically if Redis is unavailable.
