About

Building an agent takes minutes. Keeping one alive takes an engineer. We built the second part. Describe what you want and Kavela builds, hosts, and runs it always-on in Telegram and Slack. Nothing is preset: if an agent is missing something, you tell it to change and it changes. No feature requests. Your keys stay in inline cards and never touch the agent. Agents share one org file system. 50 orgs have built 400 agents. They've run over 20,000 times with nobody watching.

Launch Llama's Take

Based on Launch Llama data as of November 2026

Kavela has 7 upvotes, including the votes it received on Product Hunt, which ranks it #1,219 of 2,036 Artificial Intelligence tools on Launch Llama by upvotes. It has been listed on Launch Llama since August 2026. No Launch Llama members have upvoted it yet and it has no reviews yet.

Kavela builds, hosts, and runs AI agents always-on in Telegram and Slack, while Switch deploys agents into Slack, Teams, and Discord channels that teams already use. Kavela is aimed at solo founders who want to delegate tasks to AI workers, and agents can be changed by telling them what to change rather than filing feature requests.

FAQ

Will I know when something goes wrong?

Yes. A reviewer checks every run against your checklist and sends the gap back. If it still falls short after three tries, it brings you the work and what is missing. Finished and failed runs are posted to your chat.

Do I need to write code?

No. Describe the job in the chat the way you would ask a teammate. Kav connects the apps it needs and sets it up in your workspace.

What tools can I connect to?

Any tool that works with MCP, OAuth 2.0, an API key or a browser login.

Will it send or post anything without asking me?

Not by default. Risky steps, like sending an email or publishing a post, wait in your approvals until you say yes. Your keys never reach the model.

How autonomous can the agent become?

As much as you allow. On Autonomous it signs up for the services a job needs and posts for you, asking only the first time. Supervised, the default, asks before anything leaves your workspace. Payments and anything destructive always ask.

What happens when my plan hits its limit?

The task waits and carries on after your plan resets. It never switches to paid credits on its own.

Can I hand a workflow to a client or a teammate?

Yes. They read the steps in plain words, connect their own accounts when asked, and change it by saying what should change. Every change is a new version.

Will it remember last week's work?

Yes. Files stay in the workspace, and when you ask about earlier work, Kav finds that chat and carries on from there.

How much does it cost?

Every plan starts with a 14-day free trial, no card. Bring your Claude or Codex subscription at no extra cost, or use the included Kav AI usage.
