The universal context engine connecting agents to data, tools, and models
One normalized API connects your product to hundreds of HRIS, payroll, ATS, CRM, accounting, ticketing, and file storage systems with read and write access.
Give agents secure, authenticated access to thousands of pre-built tools across third-party services, with scoped permissions and audit logs.
Route every model through one API with automatic failover, pre-built or custom routing rules, and spend and performance controls.
Distribute approved MCP connectors, models, and skills to employee AI tools with per-team budgets, DLP scanning, and audit logging.
Open-source workflow automation built for AI agents and technical teams
Build automations with a visual node editor, then insert JavaScript or Python code nodes when you need custom logic.
Connect to 500+ native services, any REST API via HTTP nodes, and any agent or coding assistant through MCP.
Run agents alongside regular steps, inspect every decision, and add structured inputs, guardrails and human approval steps.
Watch workflows execute live, open past runs, replay a run with mocked data and re-run just the step that failed.
