oc8

• 🔒 Isolated AI Agents — each agent runs in its own container, with access only to what oc8 explicitly grants it.
• 📚 RAG Knowledge Base Management — retrieval-augmented knowledge, scoped per agent or department.
• 🧠 Works With Any LLM — Anthropic, OpenAI, OpenRouter, local Ollama, or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint.
• 🛡️ Sovereign by Design — self-hosted; your data and credentials never leave infrastructure you control.
• 🏢 Scoped and Built for Enterprise Usage — tenant isolation, audit trails, and approval thresholds from day one.
• 🔌 Works With Your Existing Stack — oc8 orchestrates the CRM, ERP, and tools you already run; nothing to rip out and replace.
• 🧑‍⚖️ Human in Control — every consequential action waits for approval unless you've explicitly said otherwise.
• 🧩 Extensible in Every Direction — the capa system: connectors, skills, tool packs, and department templates as installable folders.
• 🔗 Built on Open Protocols — every tool call goes through the same governed MCP gateway, compatible with standard agent tooling.
• 📈 Built to Scale — from a single agent to a full digital workforce.
• 🗂️ Knowledge & Tool Management for Agents — assign exactly what each agent can read, call, and use.
• 🏙️ Your Digital Company — departments, agents, and approvals that mirror how your business actually runs.

Status: oc8 is under active development. Read Scope and limitations before a production deployment.

oc8 turns "hire someone to do this" into a configuration you can inspect, approve, and audit. You describe the outcome, the agent proposes how it'll get there, and every consequential step — a write, a send, a spend past a threshold — waits for a human unless you've explicitly said otherwise. Your existing software landscape stays exactly where it is — oc8 orchestrates it, it doesn't replace it.

oc8 is for you if

• ✅ you want an AI agent to actually do recurring work — triage tickets, draft and send replies, update records in a real business system — not just answer questions in a chat window.
• ✅ you need to know, after the fact, exactly which agent did what, when, and under whose approval — not just trust that it behaved.
• ✅ you'd rather self-host on infrastructure you control than hand your business data and credentials to someone else's cloud.
• ✅ you want to plug in the tools you already use (a CRM, a helpdesk, a knowledge base) without hand-rolling an integration for each one — or ripping out and replacing what already works.
• ✅ "run this in an isolated container, not my agent host" is a requirement, not a nice-to-have.

How it works

Any agent runtime that can be sandboxed and driven through oc8's gateway is hireable.

Every isolated agent gets its own container — no shared filesystem, no shared credentials, no visibility into another agent's tools or data. The runtime-provisioner is the only process in the stack that ever touches the Docker socket, so the backend and worker processes themselves never carry that (host-root-equivalent) privilege.
