Define AI agent roles in YAML and run them anywhere: CLI, API server, or autonomous daemon

InitRunner lets you define an agent in one YAML file, chat with it, run it autonomously, and deploy it as a daemon triggered by cron, file changes, webhooks, or Telegram messages. It supports multiple execution modes, built-in memory, cost controls, multi-agent orchestration, and security features. Built on PydanticAI.
