Open Executive, developed by sentelabs.ai, launches as an AI-powered virtual executive team designed to function as a single coherent senior advisor. The system is built on a central orchestrator that routes user queries to eight specialist agents, including a Chief Strategy Officer, CFO, CHRO, General Counsel, COO, CMO, and Chief Product Officer. A dedicated Board Communications Director handles investor relations and governance. The architecture utilizes a retrieval-augmented generation pipeline combining built-in MBA-level knowledge with user-uploaded company documents stored in Chroma DB. A key feature is episodic memory, where key decisions are stored in SQLite to maintain context across sessions. The platform also includes a built-in scheduler for proactive follow-ups. The tech stack is anchored by Anthropic Claude models, specifically Sonnet 4 for the main orchestrator and Opus 4 for deep-thinking specialists. The frontend is built with Next.js 15 and Tailwind CSS, while the backend runs on Python and FastAPI. The system is open-source under the Apache 2.0 license.

Beyond basic Q&A, the system maintains a built-in scheduler and knowledge base to support operational scaling. The API is designed to run as a single instance to manage the background job runner. The open-source repository includes demo company fixtures and operator scripts for various integrations, aiming to provide a customized executive advisor for businesses seeking strategic guidance.
