Why Blink?

• Retain control of your data and infrastructure. Blink runs on your own servers, and agents can use any LLM provider: be it Amazon Bedrock, Google Vertex, or a self-hosted model.
• Centralize your conversations. Compared to Claude Code, all conversations are stored in a single database.
• Centralize access. Blink lets you define access controls to your agents in a single place.
• Write code instead of configuring MCP and Skills. With Blink you use TypeScript to build agents and add tools to them.

Features

• Pre-built, fully-functional Scout agent, which you can customize for your own use
• Web UI where you can chat with agents
• Blink SDK - a set of libraries for building agents compatible with the Blink platform
• Blink CLI - a command-line tool for developing agents locally
• Observability - use the web UI to view logs and traces
• Docker-based deployment - agents are deployed as Docker containers
• User and organization management - invite your team to use and collaborate on agents

What's a Blink agent?

Agents are HTTP servers that respond to events. The Blink Server deploys them as Docker containers, routes messages from Slack/GitHub/web UI, and manages conversation state - your agent just defines how to respond.

import { convertToModelMessages, streamText } from "ai";
import * as blink from "blink";

const agent = new blink.Agent();

agent.on("chat", async ({ messages }) => {
  return streamText({
    model: "anthropic/claude-opus-4.6",
    messages: convertToModelMessages(messages),
    system: "You are a helpful assistant.",
  });
});

agent.serve();

The on("chat") handler processes incoming messages. For tool calls, the server automatically loops back to your agent until the response is complete.

Current State of the Project

We've been using Blink at Coder for a few months now. We built in-house agents that:

• help our customers in Slack with questions related to the Coder product by analyzing the coder/coder repository
• automatically diagnose flaky tests in our CI pipeline, create issues, and assign relevant engineers to fix them
• answer questions from our sales team by aggregating data from our CRM and sales tools

and more.

That being said, Blink is still in early access. You may encounter bugs and missing features. If you do, please file an issue.
