## What Kosuke does

You describe a change in plain language, and Kosuke's Sensei agent plans it, builds it, has Claude and GPT review it, and then tests it in your running app. You get one notification when the change is ready, and it arrives as a pull request you can merge or send back. Every plan needs your own coding agent subscription, such as Claude Code or Codex.

## Who Kosuke is for

- Product managers
- Founders
- Software developers
- Agency owners

## Key features

- Each change gets its own branch, sandbox and live preview
- Choose the coding agent, such as Claude Code
- Two model labs (Claude and GPT) review each change
- QA runs in your running app and is recorded
- Changes arrive as pull requests to merge or send back

## Privacy and data

Kosuke says it does not train on customer code or agent transcripts, uses TLS 1.2+ in transit and AES-256 at rest, and isolates sandboxes per change; a SOC 2 Type I audit is in progress.
