Project Highlights: Open Executive
Open sourceBy ForeAct LabsApache-2.0Self-hostable

Open Executive runs the whole board, not just the inbox.

AI that takes the initiative — on your terms.

Open Executive is transforming leadership and management. Highly configurable, it is deployed at any management level from project manager to C-suite. Out of the box it supports spend approval thresholds, integration with corporate knowledge systems, and defined governance for how it interacts with human colleagues and other AI systems. Open Executive can also be configured as a digital twin to replicate a busy leader—responding in alignment with their specific role and insights; allowing leaders to truly scale their impact through AI.

Open Executive will always be open source but we now have a SaaS offering for companies and individuals who want to get started using it immediately.

The briefing

Your day starts already worked: overnight signals triaged into decisions you approve, edit, or dismiss.

  1. 01

    Proactive by default. It watches competitors, filings, pricing, and vendors, and turns what it finds into a morning brief of proposals.

  2. 02

    Autonomy you govern. Each department proposes, acts within scope, or escalates — you set the line, and every action is logged.

  3. 03

    Deliverables, not chat. Board decks, plans, and reviews, produced on demand or on a schedule and filed in one library.

  4. 04

    Grounded, with memory. It answers from your documents and context, and remembers the decisions, initiatives, and advice it has gathered.

  5. 05

    Cost you can see. Token and dollar spend, broken down by day, model, and session — visible and capped, never a surprise.

  6. 06

    Yours to run, anywhere. Apache-2.0 and self-hostable — clone the repo, keep your data in your environment, and control every model call.

The system, in the open

The bench

Every department wraps a specialist with goals, authority, and a cadence — a bench you shape to your org.

Watching the field

Monitors on competitors, filings, and vendor status turn outside events into proposals — before anyone thought to ask.

Real deliverables

Board decks, plans, and reviews land finished in one searchable library — work you open, not chat you scroll.

02 — extensible-mcp
Open sourceBy ForeAct LabsApache-2.0

Hope is not a security strategy.

An agent's most important feature is what it can't do. Every message an agent receives — a tool result, another agent's reply — can carry an attack, and a model can't be trusted to police itself. extensible-mcp is our answer, in working code: a layer between the model and the outside world where every server it loads, every tool it finds, and every call it makes is checked in code the model can't see, reach, or rewrite. A boundary it can't cross.

  1. 01

    Discovery at runtime.

    Agents find and load MCP servers and tools as the work needs them — no config rewrites, no restarts.

  2. 02

    A minimal tool surface.

    Tool definitions live in a vector index, not the prompt — the model retrieves only what the task needs.

  3. 03

    Enforcement outside the model.

    Every server load, tool search, and call is checked in code the model can't reach — credentials never enter its context.

Open Executive already uses extensible-mcp layer. An executive team with real authority needs rules that don't depend on the model's good behavior — this is where they're enforced.
