100% Local-First

Your agents, your data, your infrastructure. No external API calls for logic processing, ensuring total privacy and zero vendor lock-in.

Developer-Centric

Built by developers for developers. Modular architecture with clear boundaries between the Agent Runner, Step Executor, and Scheduler.

Production Ready

Not a demo. A real execution engine with MongoDB persistence, cron-based scheduling, and full execution observability.

The Modular AI Stack

Everything you need to build production-grade autonomous systems.

Autonomous Agent Runner

A centralized executor with safety guards that manages structured inputs and outputs per step.

Workflow Automation

Deterministic execution of multi-step pipelines including LLM reasoning, HTTP calls, and file ops.

Cron Scheduler

Built-in cron engine for recurring background tasks, reporting, and long-running automations.

Document Chat (RAG)

Upload PDFs for grounded extraction and semantic chunking using a local vector store.

Persistent Memory

Agents store facts, preferences, and context to enable adaptive and personalized automation.

Tool Registry

Extend agent capabilities with pluggable tools for web browsing, email, and shell execution.

Engineered for Freedom

Why developers are switching from SaaS automation to self-hosted agents.

No Usage Limits

Run 10 or 10,000 workflows for the same cost: zero.

Total Data Privacy

Sensitive data never leaves your infrastructure.

Zero Vendor Lock-in

Own your code, your workflows, and your agents.

Custom Logic

Integrate with internal databases and APIs without proxies.
