Lobu is an open-source backend infrastructure designed for autonomous AI agents that can observe, remember, and act within existing team workflows. It provides a multi-tenant environment with sandboxed execution, a durable event log, and a typed knowledge graph to connect company tools and enable agents to run across various platforms.

lobu sits in the LLM Infra category, so it is usually better judged by workflow fit, deployment style, and team needs than by isolated features alone. Based on the available metadata, it leans most clearly toward Memory & Knowledge Graph: Ingest data into a durable event log, define custom entity schemas, and build a live, org-scoped knowledge graph for shared organizational memory.. A representative use case is Employee AI assistants: Deploy persistent, sandboxed agents on Slack wired into internal tools and documentation.. The listed license is Apache-2.0. GitHub stars are currently 228. Relevant tags include Autonomous Agents, AI Infrastructure.

This write-up is based on the project's README and public repository data. We have not hand-tested the tool.

Features

01Memory & Knowledge Graph: Ingest data into a durable event log, define custom entity schemas, and build a live, org-scoped knowledge graph for shared organizational memory.
02Multi-tenant Sandboxed Execution: Runs agents in isolated sandboxes per conversation or channel, ensuring security and credential isolation while serving many agents from a single Node process.
03Cross-platform Channel Support: Supports integration with multiple communication platforms like Slack, Telegram, WhatsApp, Discord, Teams, and Google Chat, with a dedicated runtime for each.
04Guardrails & Security: Implements security features such as secret proxies, egress policy enforcement, and AI-powered guardrails to control agent behavior and data handling.
05Flexible Agent Integration: Allows users to bring their own agents via MCP, interact through a CLI and TypeScript SDK, or run Lobu's built-in agents, all backed by the same org-scoped graph.
