What it does
Kortix is an open-source platform for running AI agents across a company. Agents, shared skills, memory files and connector settings are kept as files in a git repository you own, and each work session runs on its own disposable Linux sandbox on a separate branch. Agents hand back finished work such as reports, code or replies through a change request that a person reviews and merges; merging is denied by default for agents. Teams can start sessions from the web app, the command line, Slack or Microsoft Teams, or trigger them on a cron schedule or a signed webhook. It connects to more than 3,000 apps plus MCP, OpenAPI, GraphQL and plain HTTP, with credentials kept server-side. Any model provider works with your own keys, and individual tools can be set to allow, ask or block so a person approves risky actions. Self-hosting runs as a Docker Compose stack, and Kortix Cloud is the managed option. The site says SOC 2 Type I is held and Type II is in progress.
