Ayven

Ayven is a proactive AI agent from UK company Alknoma that works as a control centre for getting work done: it hands tasks to people and AI agents, checks what comes back and pushes each piece forward so nobody has to chase it. It's built for solo professionals running their own agents, product and engineering teams, and operations teams.

What is Ayven used for?

Ayven doesn't do the work itself; it coordinates it. Give it a goal in plain words, like "launch the newsletter before the 30th" or "run the partner summit for 120 guests", and it researches, splits the goal into dated tasks, assigns them to your agents or teammates and only asks you the calls that are yours. Multi-week missions keep moving in between, and a push notification reaches you when it needs an answer.

How does Ayven work with your tools?

It connects to Slack and Microsoft Teams, Jira, YouTrack, Asana, Notion and Google Drive, and any MCP-compatible client such as Claude can talk to it. Every ticket is checked against your definition of done, your own rules approve most changes and the rest wait for you. From chat you can ask for a leadership status report showing blockers, owners and delays, or approve every pending request from your team in one message.

Who is Ayven for?

• Product leads who want tickets to move stage by stage without chasing anyone.
• Operations teams coordinating events, suppliers and deals with many owners.
• Professionals already using coding, email or calendar agents who need something to orchestrate them.

Ayven pros and cons

Its strength is follow-through over time: Alknoma says it measured up to 95% less planning time on a five-person team, and the company is SOC 2 Type II certified. The catch is that Ayven needs agents or people to actually execute the work, and the Microsoft Teams app currently has to be uploaded manually as a package.
