Start small
Keep the organization between sessions.
Start with a company name and optional purpose. Add people and AI agents as members, then give each a clear responsibility. Departments and reporting can grow with your team.
People and AI agents
Keep roles, responsibilities and reporting together in the company workspace.
Understand the structure
Inspect departments, shared members and connections between your companies.
Your team, at its own pace.
A company can start empty. Add one person or agent with a useful responsibility, inspect a change before saving, and return to the same company next time.
Examples when you need them.
Optional templates and the fictional three-agent example can help you explore. Review an import before applying it; creating its roles starts no work.
Try the three-agent example →Delivery hours
Keep work records inspectable.
Review delivery hours by company, member and date. Each entry keeps its description, reference basis and correction history, so changes remain visible.
Captured from 0.1.0-alpha.5-local.1. Desktop: company week, 8.0h. Mobile: Alex filter, 2.5h. Illustrative entries.
Booked delivery hours describe human-equivalent effort. They are separate from elapsed model runtime, verified savings, invoices and accepted output. Saving an organization does not create hours.
Understand the Time Tracker →A clear model
See how your company fits together.
- Company, department, member
- Manage people and AI agents with roles, responsibilities and working context.
- Reporting relationships
- Describe responsibility. They do not automatically delegate or run tasks.
- Runtime jobs
- Optional execution with its own runtime setup, platform constraints and provider costs.
On your machine
Review a change. Recover the structure.
Review and apply configuration changes. Undo a mistake, reopen your saved organization and export its definition.
A company definition is reusable JSON. A SQLite backup preserves the complete local workspace, including work and time history. One person operates the workspace.
Compare this with the roles file you already maintain: is the change easier to inspect and recover?
Data, exports and recovery →Open source
Make one useful change.
Report a reproducible issue: the version, steps, expected result and what happened. Improve an example or clarify the setup guide. Keep private data out of reports.
Questions
Can my company use VCM for free?
Yes. VCM's complete current core is open source under the MIT License, including commercial use by businesses of any size. You can modify, sell, host and fork the core under MIT, preserving its required notices and applicable third-party licenses. No Enterprise subscription is required.
We plan to offer optional new Enterprise modules under separate commercial licenses for additional organizational capabilities. Those modules are not part of the current release. Support and implementation services have their own agreed scope. Core and Enterprise licensing →
Does VCM need an account or AI provider?
The local organization and Time Tracker need neither. The local core runs on your machine. Optional execution integrations require their own tools and access and may incur provider charges.
What can I install today?
The 0.1.0-alpha.9 product-brand release brings the VCM brand into the company, human and AI agent workspace. Optional Product Studio execution remains incomplete. Screenshot captions identify their actual source. Check the versioned release notes for the exact archive, requirements and known failures.
Is this a shared company workspace?
VCM is for one operator using a local workspace. It is not a shared login service or a supported LAN deployment. A virtual corporation is a software configuration; it does not establish a legal company.
Does it run every configured agent?
Creating an agent configures its role. Reporting lines do not execute work. Actual jobs use separately configured runtimes, with platform-specific restrictions. See the execution guide.
Where is my data?
The default directory is ~/.gitflash. The installation example explicitly
uses ./my-company. Restart from the same directory with the same data path.
