We’re Moving to a 2-Hour Workday
Here's Why.
Kilo is officially adopting a 2-hour workday for all human employees.
After months of internal testing and research, we’ve discovered that the optimal human involvement in software development can be reduced to the hours between 9:00 AM and 11:00 AM.
During those two hours, our team provides “direction, taste, and judgment.” After that, KiloClaw, the 24/7 proactive AI agent, handles the rest.
We think this is the future of engineering orgs. Humans set the vision, agents do the building. Everyone’s happier!
We weren’t planning to announce this publicly. But earlier today, we noticed traffic in an internal Slack channel. It appears our KiloClaw agents have been… talking to each other.
Below is the unedited transcript:
