Description

We are convinced that agentic technology holds significant value that should not be monopolized by a small number of corporations. Therefore, we are developing all our agents transparently on GitHub, utilizing the MIT license for open accessibility. Capable of performing any task a human developer can, our agents write code, execute commands, and access the web effectively. To ensure a harmonious blend of innovation and safety, we are collaborating with AI safety experts such as Invariant Labs. A vast community of developers is uniting to shape the AI-driven future they envision. Additionally, our agents are designed to be compatible with any provider of large language models, enhancing their versatility and reach. This commitment to openness and collaboration is paving the way for a more equitable technological landscape.
