Keelen is an autonomous coding loop: an AI development team that runs against your GitHub repository around the clock. It turns free-form requests into a prioritized roadmap, breaks roadmap items into dev-ready tasks with acceptance criteria, implements each task in an isolated single-use VM using your own Claude, Codex, GLM, or Kimi credentials, and ships the result as a merged pull request, or holds it for your review if that is what you have configured. Every change passes five verification gates before merge: a red-first test proof (new tests are applied without the implementation and must fail, then must pass with it), an independent adversarial review of the diff by a model that shares no context with the run that wrote it, the project's own test suite on a clean checkout, a CI-green requirement at merge time, and a review window before gated auto-merge. The loop may never weaken a check to get to green. Human-in-the-loop controls are set per project: plan review before any code is written, manual merge where Keelen opens the pull request and you click merge, or branch-only where Keelen never opens a pull request. Pause one project or the whole fleet at any time. Every iteration runs in its own single-use, non-root VM that is destroyed when the run ends. Network egress is deny-by-default through a proxy. Per-run GitHub tokens are scoped to one repository and cannot modify CI workflows. Supported stacks: TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, Go, Rust, C and C++, Godot, and Roblox. Monorepos use per-package test targets. Keelen is not an IDE copilot and not a prompt-driven chat agent. It works from a standing roadmap, picks its own next task, and verifies each change through the gates above. Pricing is flat monthly tiers: Indie 29 USD, Operator 79 USD, and Agency 299 USD. You bring your own model key, so token usage bills to your provider at cost with zero markup. Every new account starts with a 14-day free trial and no credit card is required.
