How it works

Agents run on your own devices. Every machine you add is another place for them to work, all managed from one place.

Workspaces

Every workspace is isolated. Work stays separate, managed across all your computers, and accumulates into documents that become your knowledge base.

While working, agents can read what they need from any node.

Workspaces

Task Board

Say what you need in a conversation, and it becomes a task on your board.

Keep the conversation going, keep it running, and it improves with use, growing into an agent purpose-built for this kind of work.

Connect task agents to your apps, or share them with others.

Task Board

Open API

Expert and task agents integrate into your own apps and workflows. They're built on standard APIs, with both SSE and WebSocket support.

Let your agents become part of your business, wherever you need them.
