Getting Started
Introduction
What Canu is, what it does, and where it runs.
Canu is a single AI financial agent for startups. It connects to the tools that already move your money — Stripe, accounting, cloud, and business systems — builds one financial picture, and works toward a runway goal you set.
One agent, not a dashboard
Canu is not a BI tool you have to drive. You give it an outcome and constraints, and it observes your data, finds opportunities, prepares actions, and waits for your approval before anything changes.
Where Canu runs
- The Canu workspace — the full agent surface with goals, opportunities, approvals, and audit history.
- MCP — bring Canu into Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible AI client.
- MCP is the only programmatic surface — Canu has no REST API.
Human in the loop
V1 Canu never executes an action without an explicit human approval. Autonomous execution is opt-in and scoped by approval rules.
