Overview

What is Tycoon?

Tycoon is a company operations platform where humans and AI agents sit on a single org chart. At the centre is Tycoon Agent, an AI manager: you hand her an outcome rather than a list of instructions, and she breaks it into tasks, assigns them to the right agents, tracks progress, reviews the output and reports back with evidence. The escalation rule is stated plainly — low-risk, reversible, well-scoped work moves on its own, while anything touching strategy, public publishing, customer communication, spend, production changes, legal risk or irreversible action comes back to you.

Eighteen named AI employees ship with the platform, each with a defined remit: Riley on research, Sam on data, Jordan as CMO, Casey on content, Darren as CTO, Harper as general counsel, Sage on SEO, Victor on video, Owen on outbound, Blair on PR, plus design, fundraising, social and support roles. You can create custom employees, bring your own agents, and import an existing Claude Code or Codex setup — CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, skills and docs — so those agents work from your context and keep running on your own subscription. Adding an agent never starts work by itself; Tycoon Agent assigns the outcome once you ask.

Work arrives by chat on the web app, or through iMessage, Slack and Discord, with apps for iOS and iPad, Android and Mac. Tasks are built to run for days: a board shows what is in progress, what is done and what needs you, and engineering work carries changed files, test output, build status and pull-request context as proof. Routines attach recurring checks to the same outcome, and workspace knowledge keeps positioning, pricing, brand voice and customer notes available to the whole team.

Around that sit forty-four named connectors — GitHub, Slack, Gmail, Notion, Linear, Jira, Salesforce, HubSpot, Stripe and Google Ads among them — a public Task API with a CLI and webhooks, and a model router billed at OpenRouter list prices with no markup. Interface, conversations and deliverables are available in seven languages.

What it does

  • Turn a plain-language outcome into tasks and sub-tasks, then assign each one to the right agent
  • Write, test and ship code, open pull requests and deploy full-stack apps and websites
  • Produce blog posts, landing pages, newsletters and social posts for X, LinkedIn and Reddit
  • Run Google, social and LinkedIn ad campaigns, plus cold email and launch sequences
  • Track KPIs, produce weekly reports and analyse churn, pricing and market sizing
  • Review contracts, terms, privacy policies and NDAs, and run an autonomous SEO and AEO loop
  • Check the agents' work against the brief and escalate only the decisions that genuinely need you
Audience

When to use Tycoon / When not to

A quick filter to help you decide if Tycoon is the right fit.

When to use Tycoon

  • Solo founders and solopreneurs who want the output of a full company without hiring anyone
  • Small bootstrapped teams and indie hackers who need marketing, code and operations covered at once
  • Agencies and dev shops looking to scale client delivery and reporting without adding headcount
  • Developers already running Claude Code or Codex who want to reuse their CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md and skills inside a managed team
  • Consultants, coaches, course creators and content businesses who spend more time on operations than on their craft

When not to use Tycoon

  • Regulated or enterprise buyers who need SOC 2, ISO 27001 or HIPAA evidence, none of which Tycoon publishes
  • Organisations required to keep data inside the European Union — hosting and processing are US-only, with no residency option
  • Anyone looking for a permanently free tool: once the welcome credit is spent, work pauses until you top up
  • Teams that need a fixed, predictable monthly bill, since two meters plus pass-through spend make costs variable by design
  • Users under 18, users located in a country under US embargo, and anyone planning to build a competing agent platform
Get started

How to use Tycoon

A typical end-to-end flow, from setup to results.

  1. Create an account on tycoon.us — sign-up is advertised at 30 seconds and needs no credit card
  2. Collect the free credit balance added to every new workspace, shown on the welcome screen and in Billing
  3. Answer Tycoon Agent's opening questions about what your company does and where it stands
  4. Fill in workspace knowledge: positioning, pricing, brand voice, quality standards, constraints and approval rules
  5. Optionally import your Claude Code or Codex setup, or connect GitHub and your social accounts
  6. Pick the agents or teams you need from the roster — adding one starts no work on its own
  7. Connect the integrations you need from the Integrations tab and approve each authorisation flow
  8. Write the outcome you want to Tycoon Agent, by chat, iMessage, Slack or Discord
  9. Follow the task board and clear the Needs you items by approving, revising or holding
  10. Fund the Company Wallet from $50 a month, set an approval threshold or a cap, and add routines for recurring work
Quick read

Pros & Cons

Pros

  • One conversational entry point for all the work: no workflow graph to build or maintain
  • Built-in verification — the manager reviews the agents' output before it reaches you
  • No markup on models, and your existing Claude Code or Codex subscription keeps being billed by its vendor
  • Nothing is charged per seat, and both meters read zero while the company is idle
  • Execution traces and itemised wallet entries make it possible to audit what happened and what it cost
  • Spending caps and approval thresholds you set yourself, with credits that never expire and roll over
  • Genuinely broad coverage — code, content, SEO, ads, research, data, legal, video and support — across web, iOS, Android, Mac, iMessage, Slack and Discord

Cons

  • A very young product: the company was founded in 2026 and the first changelog entry dates from 26 May 2026
  • No published security certification — no SOC 2, ISO 27001 or HIPAA, and no public bug bounty
  • Hosting and processing are United States only, with no EU data-residency option
  • Costs are hard to forecast: two meters plus real-world spend passed through the same wallet
  • No permanent free plan, all fees are non-refundable, and the publisher's liability is capped at $100
  • You carry the full risk of the autonomous actions agents take on your behalf, and revoking authorisation is prospective only
  • Seven interface languages only, Android is distributed as a direct APK outside Google Play, and no full postal address or contact page is published
Pricing

Pricing & Plans

There is no permanent free plan. Every new workspace receives a free credit balance instead — the homepage advertises a $5 welcome credit — and no credit card is required to start. The cheapest paid entry point is USD 50.00 per month, converted in full into Company Wallet credit. Usage is then metered on two counters: tokens, billed at OpenRouter list prices with no markup, and machine-hours at USD 0.032, 0.057 and 0.106 per hour for 1, 2 and 4 GB respectively, charged per second while an agent is running. Infrastructure is billed at published rates and real-world spend is passed through the same wallet. Idle time costs nothing.

Plan 1
  • Tycoon — USD 50 per month
  • credited in full as USD 50 of Company Wallet balance
Plan 3
  • Third-party model subscriptions you already hold (Claude Code
  • Codex
  • Lovable
  • Manus
  • Higgsfield) stay billed by their own vendor
  • with Tycoon charging runtime only
Special offers — A free credit balance on every new workspace, shown at signup and in Billing; the homepage advertises a $5 welcome credit · A referral link per workspace that gives both the referrer and the new workspace a credit bonus, redeemable once and only before the workspace runs its first task · Campaign invite codes for talks, events and marketing, each with its own configurable bonus amount and expiry date · Credits that never expire, with unused wallet balance rolling over
Prices and plans listed above may evolve. Always check the official pricing page before subscribing.
Trust & Privacy

Data, GDPR & hosting

A consolidated view of how Tycoon handles your data.

GDPR overview

GDPR is addressed concretely rather than claimed. Section 3 of the privacy policy names the legal bases used for the EEA, the UK and Switzerland: contract, legitimate interest, consent and legal obligation. Section 9 lists access, correction, deletion, portability, opting out of service-improvement use and the right to complain to a supervisory authority, with a 30-day response commitment. Section 11 covers transfers to the United States under the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses, and a copy of the mechanism is available on request. Section 7 commits to breach notification within 72 hours where GDPR requires it. A dedicated help article confirms that a Data Processing Agreement is provided on request. Two gaps remain: no Article 27 EU representative is designated, and no data protection officer is named — everything routes to support@tycoon.us.

Who owns the data?

You keep every right to what you submit. Section 8 of the Terms grants HeyMall, Inc. only a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to process your content, and solely to provide, operate and improve the Service. Work produced by the agents belongs to your organisation, subject to the usage policies of the underlying model providers. The platform itself — software, design, agent infrastructure and proprietary models — remains the publisher's. Data is shared only with hosting providers, model APIs, the identity provider, the payment processor and the integrations you authorise; the privacy policy states that personal information is never sold. Deletion of your content and workspace data is requested from support@tycoon.us.

Reuse rights

Yes. Because you retain ownership of your content and your organisation owns the agents' work product, you can reuse both without asking permission — publish it, sell it, or build on it. Two limits apply. First, outputs remain subject to the usage policies of the AI model providers behind them, so those licences travel with the deliverable. Second, section 4 of the Terms forbids using the Service to develop, train or improve a competing agent-operations platform. The Terms also make you responsible for reviewing anything an agent produces before it is published or sent to a third party. Export is supported through the workspace data export and the portability right in the privacy policy.

Data retention & training

Retention summary
Account data is kept for as long as the account is active. If you delete your account, personal data is deleted or anonymised within 90 days, subject to legal retention requirements, while de-identified or aggregated data may be kept for service improvement. Log data is retained for up to 12 months. Records of autonomous agent actions are kept longer — the life of the account plus at least 24 months — so audits, billing disputes and incident investigations remain possible. Your Tycoon Agent conversation lasts as long as the workspace, task history is retained indefinitely, and deliverables stay until you delete them. Deleting the workspace from Settings removes everything permanently, with no recovery copies beyond a brief operational window. Longer retention may apply under a legal hold.

Hosting summary

Tycoon's servers run on Google Cloud Platform and AWS, and the privacy policy states that user data is stored and processed in the United States. Accessing the service from elsewhere means the data is transferred to the US; for users in the EEA, the UK and Switzerland that transfer relies on the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses, with a copy of the mechanism available on request. Conversation content is sent to model APIs — Anthropic Claude via AWS Bedrock — under data processing agreements that exclude training the providers' public models. Authentication runs through WorkOS and payments through Stripe, both under DPAs. Security measures include TLS in transit, AES-256 at rest, role-based access controls, least-privilege policies, encrypted and tested backups, and production isolated from development; third-party credentials are encrypted and never logged in plaintext. There is no data-residency option outside the United States, and no certification such as SOC 2, ISO 27001 or HIPAA is claimed.

Watch-outs

Things to keep in mind

Risks and trade-offs to weigh before adopting Tycoon.

  • The agents take real actions on your behalf — sending emails, buying things, publishing content, spending ad budgets, calling third-party APIs — with the same legal effect as if you had done them yourself
  • Revoking an authorisation only works forward: it does not reverse or un-authorise anything an agent has already completed
  • Credentials and API keys for Gmail, Slack, Stripe, Shopify, HubSpot and similar services are handed to the platform, stored encrypted but concentrated in one place
  • Budget drift is a real risk when two meters run alongside pass-through advertising and SaaS spend; the only brake is the cap and approval threshold you set yourself
  • Outputs may be wrong, incomplete or out of date, and the Terms make you the decision-maker responsible for reviewing everything before acting on it
  • Delegating execution and verification for long enough can erode the judgement you need to check the work — and passing agent output off as human work is contractually forbidden where the distinction matters
  • Sensitive company knowledge — positioning, pricing, customer notes — is centralised in a US-hosted workspace, with agent action logs kept for the life of the account plus at least two years
Setup

Setup & Integrations

Technical difficulty

Low on the technical side. Sign-up is advertised at 30 seconds with no credit card, authentication is managed, the interface is conversational and there is no workflow graph to assemble; integrations connect through standard third-party authorisation flows. The real effort is editorial: filling in workspace knowledge, quality standards, constraints and approval rules, and correcting the manager as it learns — the publisher describes the first month as a teaching month. Advanced use is optional: a bearer-key API, a CLI, webhooks, and importing CLAUDE.md or AGENTS.md.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What exactly is Tycoon?
A company operations platform where humans and AI agents work from one org chart. Tycoon Agent, the AI manager, takes an outcome, breaks it into tasks, assigns agents, tracks progress, reviews the output and brings the decisions that matter back to you.
Who is behind Tycoon?
HeyMall, Inc., a Delaware corporation trading as Tycoon, founded by Xiaoyin Qu. The Terms and the privacy policy both took effect on 6 June 2026.
How much does it cost?
USD 50 per month, converted entirely into Company Wallet credit. On top of that you pay for tokens at OpenRouter list prices and for machine-hours at USD 0.032 to 0.106 per hour depending on memory. Nothing is billed while agents are idle.
Is there a free plan or a free trial?
There is no permanent free plan. New workspaces get a free credit balance with no credit card required, and when it runs out the work pauses rather than converting you automatically to a paid plan.
Can I bring my own agents and subscriptions?
Yes, and the publisher recommends it. Claude Code, Codex, Lovable, Manus and Higgsfield keep billing you directly, and Tycoon charges only the runtime. You can also import your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, skills and docs.
Is there an API?
Yes. A public Task API is documented at tycoon.us/docs, authenticated with a bearer key, alongside a command-line tool, webhooks, idempotency keys and a separate AgentSky developer API.
Which platforms and languages are supported?
Web, iOS and iPad through the App Store, Android through a direct APK download, and a signed Mac installer, plus iMessage, Slack and Discord. The interface, conversations and deliverables work in English, Simplified and Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Spanish and German.
Where is my data hosted, and is it used to train models?
On Google Cloud Platform and AWS, stored and processed in the United States. Data is used to improve the service and its AI capabilities, but you can opt out of that use by emailing support@tycoon.us.
How long is data kept?
Account data is deleted or anonymised within 90 days of account deletion, logs are kept for up to 12 months, and records of autonomous agent actions are retained for the life of the account plus at least 24 months.
Who is responsible for what the agents do?
You are. The Terms state that all actions taken by agents under your account are at your risk and expense, that revoking an authorisation does not undo completed actions, and that the publisher's total liability is capped at USD 100.
Conclusion

Should you pick Tycoon?

Tycoon occupies a spot most agent products avoid: it sells the management layer rather than another workflow builder. You describe an outcome, and a named manager decides what has to happen, who does it, whether the result is good enough and what deserves your attention. For a solo founder or a very small team, that is the part of running a company automation has never removed, and the eighteen specialist employees, the multi-day tasks with execution proof and the import of an existing Claude Code or Codex setup make the promise concrete rather than rhetorical.

The commercial model is unusually legible. Models are billed at OpenRouter list prices with no markup, nothing is charged per seat, both meters read zero while the company is idle, and the wallet itemises every dollar with caps and approval thresholds you set. That transparency is counts, but it does not make the bill predictable: two meters plus pass-through spend is variable by construction, and every fee is non-refundable.

The blind spots are worth naming. The company was founded in 2026 and its first release notes date from May of that year, so there is little track record. No security certification is published, hosting is US-only with no EU residency option, there is no full postal address, contact page or Article 27 representative, and the headline leverage figures come from the publisher's own workspace. The Terms also place the entire risk of autonomous agent actions on you while capping the publisher's liability at one hundred dollars.

Treated as what it is — an early, fast-moving product for founders willing to supervise and to set their own budget guardrails — Tycoon is one of the more coherent attempts at an agent-run company. Treated as infrastructure for regulated or European-hosted work, it is not there yet.
