SenteLabsAI/OpenExecutive

Repository · seen by GitHub, HackerNews

OpenExecutive is an AI-powered virtual executive team: a single coherent executive persona backed by eight specialist Claude agents, built on FastAPI with a Next.js front end. The idea is that a founder or small team can put a question to one "executive" and have it answered with the specialist reasoning of a full leadership bench behind it.

Flagged 28 August 2026 · 1,650 → 3,946 stars · +139.2%
Signal

Stars 642 to 1,650 and forks 40 to 116 in a day, with HackerNews comments 283 to 656. Forks growing faster than stars means people are standing it up rather than bookmarking it, and open issues fell 12 to 5 across the same window. That is a maintainer keeping pace with the crowd rather than being buried by it.

How to read this

Method

Every riser shows the earlier and latest reading. Count-based signals also show their percentage change. Rankings show the number of positions climbed from the earlier position to the latest one; a lower position is better.

Funding rounds show disclosed amounts and targets. Company rank movement shows a third-party 90-day momentum signal, current position and observation date. Archived briefings preserve each day’s published signals and follow-ups.
