A Safety-First Kernel for Autonomous AI Agents - POSIX-inspired primitives with 0% policy violation guarantee
Agent OS applies operating system concepts like kernels and policy enforcement to govern autonomous AI agents. It intercepts and validates agent actions before execution, ensuring deterministic safety and compliance rather than relying on probabilistic prompt-based instructions.

Features
01Deterministic policy enforcement for agent actions via a kernel-based approach.
02POSIX-inspired primitives including signals for process control and a Virtual File System (VFS) for resource management.
03Automatic audit logging through a Flight Recorder, capturing every kernel action for observability.
04Comprehensive integrations with popular AI agent frameworks like LangChain, CrewAI, and OpenAI Assistants.
05Offers both a lightweight Stateless Kernel for core policy checking and a Full Kernel API for advanced functionalities.
