Decree
Watch my messages across Slack, WhatsApp, Telegram and mail. Only interrupt me on the phone when it matters. Everything else waits for the morning. Wake me at seven. Proof is the kettle.
peterIssued
A decree. Everything in By Decree starts as one, typed or spoken.
You give the orders. An army does the work.
By Decree is a chain of command made of AI agents, on a server of your own. You issue a decree in plain words. A chief of staff plans it, captains own it, troops carry it out, and one inbox asks you only what needs deciding.

By invitation for now. Enter your email anyway and we will add you to the list.
Situation
Every assistant you have used answers the message in front of it and leaves you as the project manager: you check, you chase, you remember. Your phone pings all day and each ping makes you decide whether it mattered.
Mission
Outcomes, not messages. A decree becomes a campaign or an objective. A captain owns it: plans it, staffs troops from a library of roles, asks you for exactly what it needs, and reports back. Once approved it runs without you, on a schedule if it asked for one.
Execution
You decree. The chief of staff proposes the fewest objectives that fulfil it. You approve. Each captain plans, raises one ask per thing it needs, and waits. You decide the asks. The unit runs, ticks its steps and files reports; the final report becomes the deliverable, and the next objective starts.
Service support
Your own server, your own model subscriptions. Keys stay on the control plane; agents call tools and never hold credentials. Every turn, delivery, ask and report is an event in one log, and the strategy room is a view of it: a battlefield of routes and milestones, the inbox, the roster.
Command and signal
One device of yours is the only thing allowed to interrupt you. A sentry reads everything first and decides what is urgent. The chief of staff has a name you choose; say it across the room and ask. He wakes you in the morning and does not stop until you have shown him the kettle.
