SELF-HOSTED · INSTALLED FOR YOU We also set up FounderOS

FounderOS, installed on your own hardware

Alongside our Rust engineering work, Rustral provisions FounderOS — the AI operating system for people running more ventures than they have hours. Every project gets its own C-suite of agents, its own resident browser, its own content factory and its own build team, in one cockpit. We install it, wire it to your real projects and hand you the keys.

Everything a founder would otherwise hire for

Not a tool that helps you work faster — a team that does the work, reports what it did, and asks you only for the decisions that actually need a human.

Multi-project command center

Run several ventures from one cockpit. Per-project health, missions, activity and agent state side by side, so nothing quietly rots in a tab you forgot to open.

A C-suite per project

Founder/COO, CTO, CMO, Growth, Ops/SRE and Security agents — each a real agent session rooted in that project's own folder, with its own continuous memory. Ask the CTO a question and it has already read the repo.

Autonomous video factory

Imagine → render → post. The caption is written when the episode is planned and travels with that exact clip to the moment it publishes. Renders on your own GPU in the idle night window.

Toon Tadka cartoon studio

A procedural cartoon factory: a recurring cast, auto-written joke episodes rendered as short animated toons, fanned out to Shorts, Reels, Facebook and TikTok on a regional schedule.

A resident browser per project

Every project gets its own persistent, isolated browser on your box. Sessions never cross-contaminate, one account keeps one sticky IP for life, and the machine never types a credential.

Autonomous team harness

For jobs too big for one agent: Planner → Implementer → Bug-watcher → Operator approval gate → Verifier. Atomic commits on a per-task branch, adversarial diff review, and failed work reported instead of silently marked done.

Works with Claude Code and Codex

Bring your own agent CLI. FounderOS drives the CLI you already pay for and already trust, in your own terminal environment — it is the orchestration layer, not another subscription in front of the model.

Local image engine

FLUX running on your own A5000-class GPU generates post imagery locally. No per-image API bill, and no prompt leaving the building.

Plugin system

Drop a sibling project that ships a .codex-plugin/plugin.json and FounderOS discovers it, mounts it under /api automatically, and gives it a live/disabled toggle and its own request activity feed.

The content spine

One database row per episode carries the caption, the shot plan, the clip path and the publish state. The caption decided at plan time is the caption that goes out with that exact clip — nothing is re-invented at post time, and nothing is called published until it has been seen live.

Imagine

The engine invents the series, writes the next episode and writes the caption right there — before a single pixel exists.

Render

A daemon renders the plan into a real clip on your own GPU, only in the idle window and only when the card is actually free — so rendering never fights the work you are doing.

Post

The oldest ready clip is published with its own caption, in episode order, from that project's resident browser — then fetched back and verified live.

Sovereign by default

The whole stack — cockpit, agents, workers, database, browsers, render daemon — runs in containers on hardware you own. Nothing about your projects lives in our tenancy. You log into your own social and platform accounts once, in your own resident browser, so there is no credential vault to leak and no automated login to get an account flagged for.

It is not a SaaS. You are not renting access to your own operation, and the cost of running another project is the cost of the electricity. That is the same principle behind the rest of our work: see Rust for AI infrastructure and Rust backend development.

Everything is a plugin. The video engine, cartoon factory, image engine, growth workers and team harness are all mounted the same way your own project would be — drop a .codex-plugin/plugin.json next to FounderOS and it is discovered, mounted at /api/<name> and listed in the cockpit.

How the setup works

01

Talk to us

Tell us what you are running, what you want automated and what hardware you have. We tell you honestly what FounderOS will and will not do for it.

02

We provision the stack on your box

Containers, database, workers, GPU render daemon, resident browsers, reverse proxy and TLS — installed and configured on your machine, not ours.

03

We wire your projects, accounts and plugins

Your repos become projects with their own agents. You sign into your own accounts once in their resident browsers. Your own plugins get mounted alongside ours.

04

Handover, docs and support

You get the cockpit login, the runbook for your instance, and help when you want to add a project, a platform or a new plugin later.

FAQ

What hardware do I need to run FounderOS?

A Linux box you control, with enough RAM and disk for the containers and a database. The parts that only orchestrate agents run comfortably without a GPU. The parts that generate pixels — the image engine and the video/cartoon render daemon — want a dedicated NVIDIA card; an A5000-class GPU is what the stack is tuned against. Tell us your specs and we will tell you which parts will fly and which will crawl.

Is FounderOS a SaaS?

No. There is no shared cloud and no per-seat pricing. We install a FounderOS instance on hardware you own, and it keeps running whether or not you ever talk to us again. What we sell is the software, the setup and the support around it.

Can I use my own Claude Code or Codex subscription?

Yes, and that is the intended way to run it. FounderOS drives the agent CLI you already have, so the model subscription stays yours and the sessions run in your environment. It is the orchestration layer around your agent, not a reseller sitting in front of it.

Is my data private?

Your repos, your database, your generated media and your browser sessions all stay on your machine. FounderOS never stores a password for your social accounts — you sign in once yourself in that project's resident browser, and the engine can only check whether the session is still alive.

Can you mount my own plugin or project?

Yes. Any sibling project that ships a .codex-plugin/plugin.json is discovered and mounted under /api automatically, and shows up in the cockpit with a live/disabled toggle and its own request activity feed. If your project does not speak that format yet, we can wire an adapter during setup.

What actually runs unattended, and what asks me first?

Content generation, rendering, scheduled watchers and routine posting run on their own. Anything that mutates a live service requires an explicit human approval, enforced on the server — including when a request arrives remotely. There are hard per-platform rate caps, auto-pause on any ban or challenge signal, and a global kill switch.

Stop being eight people. Run the machines instead.
