Introducing Aria
One agent for the operational work of the portfolio. It interviews the operators, reads the systems, plans the work, and executes it — with a human approving every consequential step.
Today we are shipping Aria in every deployment. She is the working core of the Corvana platform: a single agent an operating partner can hand a question, a process, or an entire workstream — and get back a plan, the execution, and the evidence.
Operating partners do not lack ideas. They lack hours. The diligence sprint, the 100-day plan, the monthly briefing, the quarterly value-creation review — each is days of work, performed from outside the company. The agent does that work from the inside, connected to the systems and to the people who run them.
Every layer of the OS, one agent
The agent has access to everything the OS knows: the forty-plus connectors reading the portco’s systems, the Company Brain built from interviews and observation, the execution capabilities deployed inside the company, and the frontier models routed to each task. Hand it work and it selects the layers the work requires — a diligence question becomes interviews plus data-room review; a working-capital target becomes a deployed collections agent with a locked baseline.
And nothing consequential ships without a person. Every money-moving step is approved, audited, and reversible — the approval gate is built into the agent, not bolted onto it.
What it looks like in practice
Operational diligence, IC in twelve days
Hand the agent a data room and a management calendar. It runs the diligence sprint — interviews, document review, a red-flag register priced in dollars — and assembles the ops pack the night before IC: a sourced memo, a one-page underwritable thesis, and a first-draft 100-day plan.
Collections, deployed and measured
Point it at a 61-day DSO. It locks the baseline, drafts the dunning sequences, routes every send through approval, and measures the result against that baseline with a holdout. The EBITDA it reports is attributed, not asserted.
The Monday briefing, drafted overnight
Every month, for every portco: variance to plan across the connected systems, the two or three issues that matter, and the questions worth asking the CEO. One page, every line cited, in your inbox before the call.
The old model of portfolio operations runs on decks — quarterly, reported, asserted. The agent replaces it with work that is live, sourced, and measured, and a record that compounds across the hold.
Aria is included in every Corvana deployment, starting today.
