About Charles
An agent should make work
clearer, not murkier.
Product relationship
Built by SovrinTech
Its own account, entitlement, desktop, and product boundary.
GROUND provides a shared design language across the SovrinTech family. Charles keeps its own orange identity and product-specific experience.
Why it exists
Most agent interfaces hide the part that matters.
Show the plan
01Autonomy is easier to trust when the user can see the intended steps, boundaries, approvals, and definition of done.
Keep routes explicit
02A model name is not enough. Charles should show availability, execution route, and billing ownership before work begins.
Prove the result
03A confident answer is not evidence. Charles is designed to return checks, changed artifacts, and a handoff the user can inspect.
Preserve user agency
04Local project context, scoped tools, BYOK, and approval modes give people meaningful control over how the work runs.
What we are building
A product boundary, not a model wrapper.
Workspace
Projects, files, context, tools, and user-selected scope.
Agent runtime
Orient, plan, act, inspect, recover, and hand off.
Control plane
Accounts, devices, entitlements, catalogs, usage, and policy.
Evaluation
Scenario tests and evidence that qualify capabilities before release.
Model access
Managed routes, BYOK providers, and Charles Native when qualified.
Observability
Product-scoped health and usage without collapsing customers into internal admin.
Build with us
Charles is becoming a public product carefully.
Access, installers, managed routes, and Charles Native each have separate release gates. That makes progress visible without pretending unfinished capabilities are already available.
