Latest News
OpenExecutive repository received an active development commit; GitHub showed the latest commit on August 27, 2026.
Sente Labs published the Open Executive demo video showing its open, proactive AI executive team running on customer infrastructure.
Open Executive made its initial public release on GitHub under the Apache 2.0 license.
The SenteLabsAI organization published/updated extensible-mcp, its open MCP security proxy for runtime server and tool loading and access-control filters.
Products & Services
An Apache-2.0, self-hostable multi-agent AI system that presents one coherent executive voice backed by eight specialist agents: strategy, finance, HR/people, legal, operations, marketing, product, and board communications. It uses company documents and built-in knowledge, maintains episodic memory, schedules follow-ups, monitors external signals, and produces executive deliverables.
An Apache-2.0 security layer/proxy between an AI model and the outside world. It supports runtime MCP-server and tool discovery, a vector-indexed minimal tool surface, and code-level enforcement of server loads, searches, and calls outside the model's reach.
Discovery-led custom software R&D and integration of Sente Labs' open systems into customer infrastructure, including configuration, systems integration, and support from the authors of the tools.
Market Position
Sente Labs positions itself against closed, chat-first AI assistants and generic enterprise-agent SaaS by combining discovery-led consulting with open, inspectable, self-hosted systems. Open Executive is differentiated as a proactive executive-team system rather than an inbox chatbot, while extensible-mcp emphasizes zero-trust, code-enforced tool boundaries that do not rely on a model policing itself. Comparable competitive categories include enterprise copilots, workflow-agent platforms, and AI executive/advisor products.

Product Strategy & Discovery
Leads 0-to-1 product strategy and structured customer discovery in complex organizations; her public profile identifies her as a senior AI product designer with a master's degree in UX from Maryland Institute College of Art and web-development training at Columbia University and SMU.
Founding Story
Sente Labs presents itself as a people-centered R&D lab rather than a subscription product: organizations bring difficult workflows and the lab finds where AI creates real leverage, experiments in the customer's stack, and builds only what the experiments prove. Its stated initial vision is to make production-grade, inspectable, self-hosted agent systems available to organizations that cannot justify hiring a full ML, product, infrastructure, and security team.
Business Model
Revenue Model

Pricing Tiers
30-minute working session to map where agentic AI would help; no pitch or commitment.
