Frequently asked questions

Agent Bob is a friendly onboarding tool that helps non-technical teams design a governed AI agent. You answer plain-language questions and Bob generates a deployment-ready governance package backed by ClawMaven governance.

A governed AI agent is an AI agent that ships with explicit rules: which tools it can use, when a human must approve an action, how much it can spend, what data it can remember, and how its activity is logged. Agent Bob produces these rules as a 7-file governance package.

You walk through a 7-step wizard: pick an industry and agent pattern, set personality and tone, choose tools, define autonomy and loop limits, set budget and usage caps, configure memory rules, and set approval gates. At the end, Bob compiles everything into a pinned governance package you can deploy.

Loop governance is Agent Bob's way of preventing an agent from running out of control. You set hard limits on iterations, run time, and spend. If the agent stalls or hits a bound, it halts or escalates to a human instead of burning budget or making unchecked decisions.

Yes. You set hard bounds on iterations, run time, and spend. If the agent exceeds any limit, it stops automatically. You can also enable stall detection so the agent halts if it stops making meaningful progress.

A tamper-evident policy means your limits and rules are cryptographically signed into the agent's governance package. If anyone tries to change them after the fact, the signature breaks and the mismatch is detectable. This makes agent behavior provable, not just promised.

You choose the outcome in advance: halt stops the agent completely, while escalate hands the task to a human for review. Either way, the agent does not push past the boundary you set.

The package contains an agent blueprint, a policy file, a trust manifest, routing rules, a run-report template, an approval-gates document, and a deployment checklist. The 'Deploy this agent' option also includes a tailored README-deploy quickstart.

The pin is a SHA-256 cryptographic fingerprint of the exact governance package version. Anyone can verify the pin to confirm the agent is running the approved rules and that nothing was changed after signing.

No. Agent Bob designs the agent and generates the governance package. You wire that package into your runtime of choice — for example n8n, LangChain, or a custom runtime. ClawMaven covers runtime enforcement.

Yes. Agent Bob governs the behavior layer, not the model itself. You can apply the governance package to agents built on OpenAI, Anthropic, open-source models, or custom stacks. The rules travel with the agent regardless of the underlying model.

No. The wizard is built for non-technical operators. Every choice is explained in plain language with safe defaults. Technical teams can inspect the underlying policy files, but you do not need to write code or understand AI architecture to build a governed agent.

After you finish the wizard, Bob generates a downloadable governance package. You hand this package to your development team or platform to wire into the agent runtime. The package includes a deployment checklist and a quickstart README to make integration straightforward.

Most platforms optimize autonomy and capability. Agent Bob adds the missing accountability layer: verifiable rules, cryptographic pins, and loop limits that are bound to the agent package instead of buried in a prompt. It also works alongside your existing stack rather than replacing it.

Bob Free is $0 and lets you build and download one agent pack. Bob Pack is a one-time $29 per agent for unlimited regenerations of that agent and an MCP-validated trust manifest. Bob Studio is $19 per month for teams that build many agents. ClawMaven runtime governance is sold separately.

Yes. The Bob Free tier is $0 and includes the full wizard, all governed industry patterns, and one downloadable governance package.

Yes. You can start on Bob Free and upgrade at any time. Your draft agent settings are preserved, so you do not need to rebuild from scratch when you move to a paid tier.

Agent Bob ships ClawMaven governance packs for nonprofits, healthcare, legal and professional services, education, government and public sector, retail and e-commerce, real estate, finance and trading, content and media, and operations and internal automation.

Each industry pattern carries the relevant compliance overlays — HIPAA for healthcare, PCI DSS for payment-touching retail and finance flows, FERPA for education, FOIA for public sector, and so on. Agent Bob surfaces them in plain English and records them in the trust manifest.

Yes. Agent Bob only sends the minimal fields needed for governance scoring — tools, autonomy level, memory policy, and budget caps. It does not send your name, email, uploaded files, API keys, or any secret value. All data is handled securely and never used to train models.

ClawMaven is the governance engine that powers Agent Bob. Agent Bob is the friendly onboarding layer; ClawMaven provides the serious governance patterns, scoring, and runtime enforcement underneath. They communicate via the Model Context Protocol.

Sales Bob is a turnkey governed sales agent built on the same ClawMaven engine. Agent Bob is the general-purpose governance builder for any use case. Sales Bob is one specific vertical — sales — fully configured out of the box.

Agent Bob is built by Master 22 Solutions as part of the CEO BOB suite of tools at ceobob.com. Governance intelligence is provided by ClawMaven via the Model Context Protocol.

You set simple limits — how many times it can loop, how much it can spend, and how long it can run. When it hits a limit, it stops. You don't have to watch it; the limits do that for you.

Agent Bob watches for that. If your agent starts going in circles or stops making progress, it halts instead of wasting time and money. You can leave the safe defaults on without thinking about it.

You choose: it either stops completely, or it pauses and hands the decision to a person. For anything sensitive, handing it to a human is the safest option, and it's the default.

You can require a separate check to confirm the work is really done before the agent moves on — so it's not just grading its own homework. If the check doesn't pass, it tries again or asks for help.

No. Your limits are locked into the agent's settings with a digital seal, so they can't be quietly changed later. If anything is altered, it's detectable.

Not at all. The safe defaults are already filled in. If you're not sure, leave them as they are and your agent stays well-behaved.
