# Knowlee > Knowlee is the operating system for AI-native companies. AI agents do the recurring operational work — sales, recruiting, marketing, legal, projects, procurement, finance, operations — running in parallel with a full audit trail, while the operator steers from one cockpit: every agent run visible, scheduled automations, and a memory that compounds across runs. Every agent ships with AI Act-shaped governance — a risk classification, data categories, a human-oversight requirement, and approval ownership and timestamps — so auditability is a structural property, not an afterthought. Built EU-native, sovereign-deployable on EU substrate or managed cloud. Founded in Italy by Matteo Mirabelli. Knowlee is one system — the operating system a company runs its AI on. The OS is the moat: an agent-fleet cockpit that tracks every agent's state in real time, an automation registry with scheduling and governance metadata, an Enterprise Knowledge Graph + RAG that compounds knowledge across every run, a standardized tool-orchestration fabric that selects the cheapest viable tool first, and a human-in-the-loop approval flow that surfaces AI-proposed tasks to the operator before execution. Eight domain modules run on the operating system — 4Sales, 4Talents, 4Marketers, 4Legals, 4Projects, 4Procurement, 4Finance, 4Operations — each an application of the same OS, not a separate product. **Compliance posture:** EU AI Act-shaped (risk classification + human oversight fields on every agent), ISO 42001-aligned, GDPR-native, sovereign-deployable on EU-jurisdiction substrate. **Founder:** Matteo Mirabelli — linkedin.com/in/matteo-mirabelli **Website:** https://www.knowlee.ai --- ## The Operating System & its modules - [Knowlee OS — the operating system](https://www.knowlee.ai/platform/knowlee-os): Knowlee itself — the operating system AI-native companies run on. Components: agent-fleet cockpit (real-time agent status), automation registry (scheduling + governance metadata), Enterprise Knowledge Graph + RAG (cross-module memory), standardized tool-orchestration fabric (cheapest viable tool first), human-in-the-loop approval flow (AI-proposed tasks reviewed before execution).
