Agent OS

Choose the right AI Agent operating system for your workspace.

Agent OS is a layered system that gives AI agents persistent memory, goal-driven execution, and structured coordination. Each OS distribution is called a ROM — a pre-configured package of templates, skills, and operating principles that you install into your workspace.

How It Works

agent-os-spec (contracts)     What every OS must satisfy
        ↓
agent-os-roms (distributions)  Concrete OS packages you install
        ↓
your workspace                 Where your AI agent lives and works
