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.
One API key for hundreds of AI models from every major provider
Six hundred plus models for text, image, video, audio, transcription, embeddings, and reranking behind one OpenAI-compatible API.
Requests are rerouted to another provider on outages or rate limits by default, so you don't write custom retry logic.
The auto-router selects a model and provider per request using live marketplace performance and pricing data.
Track spend, tokens, and usage per model, provider, and team member in one place, including bring-your-own-key usage.
