The name
Kazimir, for Malevich. Suprematism pulled the chaos of the world down to pure form. That's the job: your operations, abstracted into something you can finally see.
An AI teammate in your team chat · A brain on your server
Kazimir is an AI teammate for a small business that already runs on chat. It lives where your team talks - WhatsApp, Slack or Telegram - turns ordinary messages into one shared memory, and shows you where every order, job, client and lead stands. It drafts, reminds and schedules, and sends nothing without your ok.
Works over WhatsApp, Slack or Telegram. For teams of 5-25 in workshops, studios, agencies and local business. Open-source, on a server you own.
Two halves of one head.
The bill of daily frictions
Each one is small. Each one drains ten minutes of someone who should be doing real work. Multiply by five people and 220 working days. The bill is bigger than you think.
"Who replied to the client?"
"Did we send the quote?"
"What did they say on the call last Thursday?"
"Who's covering Laurent's clients next week?"
"Where is order 234 right now?"
"When did we agree to that delivery?"
"What was the account number for the invoice?"
"Did anyone follow up on the Zurich lead?"
Every answer is sitting in someone's head, or buried in a chat nobody can find.
Kazimir keeps them, and hands them back in seconds.
What it actually does
Sits in your work chats and reads ordinary messages. Stays silent until you ask. No daily check-ins, no surveillance - it tracks the work, not the people.
Every message becomes part of the team's memory. Ask what you promised a client and it answers from what was actually said. When people change, the knowledge stays.
Orders, jobs, clients and tasks in one picture - where each stands, who owns it, what's stuck. You stop calling around to find out the state of your own business.
From messages to action
Add Kazimir to your WhatsApp. Hand over a history export so it starts populated, not empty. A spreadsheet, your order log, whatever you have. No integration project.
It learns from your own messages and data. You see the baseline: how fast you reply, where work sits, what your cycle really looks like. The picture you've never had in one place.
It drafts and surfaces: a reply to write, a reminder to send, an order at risk. You apply a change or two. At day 14 you get a before/after on the metric you agreed to move.
Nothing without a human tap
Kazimir never posts to a group chat or sends an external message by itself. Approval is one tap from whoever's on duty - and it can be rotated, paused, or escalated. Every send is logged forever.
Any named approver can tap ok — rotatable, pausable, auditable.
Why you can trust it
On a server in your name. Not ours.
If a tool listens to your business, you should be able to read what it does. So we open it. Self-hosted means the code, the data and the server are yours from day one - if we vanish, your team keeps everything running, and any developer can pick it up from a documented runbook.

The trial
We set Kazimir up, agree on one metric on day one, and at day 14 we show you the before and after. No stale report, no leap of faith.
Two weeks proves the fast things - reply time, lead capture, hours saved. The slow ones (revenue, retention) we track honestly over 30, 60, 90 days. We tell you which is which.

Simple, and in your favour
No lock-in. Self-hosted means the code, the data and the server are yours from day one. Cancel anytime, keep everything. Partners keep 30% recurring on every client.
Where it runs
Art advisory, Switzerland. The first team to run Kazimir as chief of staff - tracking commitments, drafting, surfacing what slips through group chats. The pilot that proved the single-brain model.
A 12-person furniture workshop near Barcelona - the first external build. Designed voice-first, because nobody on a workshop floor logs into an app: the team reports by voice note, and the path from quote to delivery becomes visible.
These are early. We publish measured numbers as the pilots mature - and we show the method, not just the result.
Who builds this
I'm Roman Selivan. For about twenty years I built communications campaigns and the systems that ran them - for Mercedes-Benz, Prada, Coca-Cola, Cartier, Chanel, and a charity that raised close to a million dollars for autism research.
Somewhere in the middle I started writing the software myself, because the off-the-shelf tools never fit the people I worked with. I now run the technology side of Moscow Art Magazine from Barcelona, and I build Kazimir by hand, one team at a time.
The code goes on GitHub on purpose. If a tool listens to your business, you should be able to read what it does. So can I, and so can anyone you ask to check.

Two weeks. One metric. €490, refunded if we don't move it. The fastest way to find out if this fits is to put it on a real box and run it on real work.
