Cortico

Active·★ 248·MIT·Updated 2026-10-22

Cortico is an agent harness built around an event stream, designed for autonomous, continuously running AI agents capable of handling complex, mixed real-time inputs. It features a modular architecture for LLM providers and an extensible 'World' system, allowing agents to observe and act across diverse external environments like chat platforms, games, and physical setups.

Cortico sits in the Multi-Agent 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 Native agent harness designed around the agent lifecycle. A representative use case is Developing persona bots and AI streamers. The listed license is MIT. GitHub stars are currently 242. Relevant tags include AI Agent, Event Stream.

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