Steve Puget
Steve Puget runs Kiroshi, an independent project that gives people a team of AI agents on their own computers. Kiroshi is a local-first desktop app for Claude Code in which agents have their own skills, memory, history and tools, and can collaborate in conversations, rooms and missions.

Latest News
Kiroshi launched on Product Hunt as 'Your team of agents'.
Kiroshi v0.26.1 released with Product Hunt website badge work plus onboarding and agent runtime-setting fixes.
Kiroshi v0.26.0 released with pending agent questions, needs-you states, mission status indicators and companion settings across app and iOS.
Kiroshi v0.26.0-beta.2 released during the beta release sequence.
Products & Services
Open-source MIT desktop app for Claude Code. It provides a roster of named agents/bots, each with a model, working directory, instructions, skills, memory and persistent conversation history; agents can work in conversations, rooms and missions. Available for macOS, Windows and Linux.
The paid online tier, free during the beta, hosts Spaces for people outside a local network, lets users join hosted Spaces and provides Kiroshi on iPhone.
Mobile companion for accessing online Spaces; the privacy policy says account deletion is available from the iPhone app and that messages are routed end-to-end encrypted through the relay.
Market Position
Kiroshi positions itself as an open-source, local-first multi-agent workspace rather than a single coding chat: named agents retain skills, memory and history; rooms and missions coordinate work; and online sharing is end-to-end encrypted. Its practical competitive set is other AI coding-agent clients and agent-orchestration tools, with differentiation from local ownership, persistent agent context and the ability to run several agents together.
Leadership
Founders
Steve Puget
Product designer and design engineer; LinkedIn identifies him as a Product Designer with experience at Vocca and training at 42. Vocca lists him as Lead Design Engineer. He publishes under the Shoto/shoto290 identity and owns the Kiroshi GitHub work under the shoto290 account.
Executive Team
Steve Puget
Independent project creator and operator
Product designer and Lead Design Engineer at Vocca; trained at 42. He develops Kiroshi under the Shoto/shoto290 identity.
Founding Story
Kiroshi is described by its official support page as an independent project run from France by Steve Puget. Its initial vision is a personal, local-first team of agents: agents live on the user's machine, retain skills and memory, work in the user's tools and can continue missions while the user does something else. The project is open source under MIT and makes local use free forever.
Business Model
Revenue Model
Local desktop use is free. Kiroshi's Pro/online mode is a per-user subscription for online Spaces, remote hosting and iPhone access; it is free during the beta. Users separately pay for or provide their chosen model provider account, such as a Claude subscription or Anthropic API key.
Pricing Tiers
Agents, skills, conversations, rooms, missions, routines, applications, secrets, approvals and Spaces shared on the user's own network.
Everything in Local, plus hosting a Space for people outside the user's network, joining someone else's hosted Space and Kiroshi on iPhone; free during the beta.
