Build, deploy, and govern production-ready agentic AI workflows
A visual canvas where retrieval, branching, tool calls, human review, and model steps form a visible, testable execution path you can debug and hand off.
Create agents through chat or manual configuration, give them skills, tools, and knowledge, then ship them as apps, embeds, or reusable nodes inside workflows.
Build repeatable ingestion pipelines for documents, sites, and drives, with extraction, cleaning, chunking, indexing, and retrieval testing before you go live.
Install model providers, tools, data sources, and MCP integrations once and reuse approved plugins across every app in the workspace.
The versioned filesystem built for AI agents
A 100% POSIX-compatible mount so agents and sandboxes use familiar Unix tools, with persistence, sync and version history handled transparently underneath.
Fork a workspace in milliseconds to run dozens of agents on isolated branches, then pick the best result without file locking.
Snapshot the entire filesystem at every step and restore any past state with a single API call when an agent goes off track.
Pause any agent for review, build approval queues and policy gates, then resume from the exact same workspace state.
