CKS
Neural OpsThe platform that runs CKS

A private agent workforce for your company.

Stood up inside your tools and run with CKS. Senior people in charge. It covers product, engineering, infrastructure, and intelligence, on the same platform that runs our whole company. We run on Neural. So can you.

What it is

Not a chatbot you ask questions. A workforce that does scheduled, accountable work in your stack, the way a good engineering team does. Agents handle the mechanical steps; people handle the judgment.

The workforce

Four functions, one orchestration.

01

Product & Delivery

Turns intent into organized, ready-to-build work: intake, scoping, specifications, tickets, and tracking.

02

Engineering

Takes ready work through a build pipeline: planning, implementation, and review, with senior engineers accountable for what ships.

03

Infrastructure & Ops

Keeps software alive: deployments, monitoring, security checks, backups, and on-call awareness.

04

Intelligence

Turns activity into decisions: research, analysis, status, and reporting.

A coordination layer routes work between the functions and keeps them consistent. People sit above the whole thing.

The registry

A roster, not a black box.

Every agent in the deployment has a name, a scope, and a human checkpoint. This is the shape of the fleet: what each one does, what it can reach, and where a person signs off.

The registry is the shape, not the ceiling. Deployments add agents per function as your operation needs them.

Proof of work

Five workflows we actually run.

Not hypotheticals. These run CKS today. Every workflow has the same shape: a trigger, agent work, a human checkpoint, an artifact.

The morning brief

Trigger

Every morning, before the day starts.

Agent actions

Reads calendar, inbox, project state, and open commitments; ranks what actually matters.

Human checkpoint

A person reads it. Corrections teach it.

Output

One prioritized brief.

Inbox triage

Trigger

Mail arrives.

Agent actions

Classifies, de-duplicates, and routes; drafts replies for the ones worth answering.

Human checkpoint

No email is sent without a person's approval.

Output

A triaged inbox and ready drafts.

The build pipeline

Trigger

A ticket is marked ready.

Agent actions

Plans the change, implements it, writes tests and docs; an independent pass reviews the work.

Human checkpoint

A senior engineer reviews and merges.

Output

A reviewed, merged change.

Ops watch

Trigger

On a recurring schedule.

Agent actions

Audits infrastructure, dependencies, and exposure; verifies backups actually restore.

Human checkpoint

Findings are reported, never silently fixed.

Output

A written audit with recommendations.

Board autopilot

Trigger

Daily, as the board drains.

Agent actions

Validates queued work against a quality gate, ranks it, promotes what's genuinely ready.

Human checkpoint

Humans set the gate. Anything ambiguous is flagged, not forced.

Output

A stocked, ranked board.

This is how the board stays stocked and priorities stay current: on a schedule, all of it visible.

GovernanceHard rules

People stay in charge. The system enforces it.

Governance here isn't a policy document. It's engineering. Seven rules, built into the platform:

Permissions

Every agent runs on an explicit allowlist. If a capability isn't granted, it doesn't exist.

Tool scope

Each agent reaches only the systems its role requires. Least privilege is configuration, not policy.

Inspectable logs

Every material action is recorded with the agent that took it. You can always see what was done and by which agent. Attribution is built in, not reconstructed.

Approval gates

Anything consequential (an email, a merge, a deployment) stops and waits for a person, on boundaries you set. Routine background work runs on its own; nothing unsupervised makes consequential changes.

Rollback

Snapshots precede anything destructive. Changes are reversible, and the way back is part of the design.

Private deployment

A single deployment inside your own tools and environment, not a shared service. Your code and data stay yours. Nothing of yours trains anyone else's model.

Revocable access

You can watch the activity, revoke access, and review or delete retained context whenever you want.

Every autonomous action is attributable, reviewable, and reversible.

Getting started

We stand it up and run it with you.

We wire it into your existing chat, ticketing, code, and deployment tools, load it with your context and conventions, set the approval boundaries with you, and operate it as a managed service, with senior CKS people accountable alongside yours.

It's built to fit how your team already works, not to force a new process on it.

● For one person
