Coding agents transformed how we build software. Kortix brings the same paradigm to knowledge work — every agent, skill and automation is a file in one repo you own. Build it locally, ship it with one command, run it as a fleet of cloud sandboxes.
Claude Code, Codex and Cursor changed how we build software: describe intent, an agent edits files, you review the diff. Kortix applies that exact loop to the rest of the company — every agent is a coding-agent runtime in an isolated sandbox, just pointed at research, ops, support and finance instead of a codebase.
Every agent runs in its own disposable cloud VM, on its own git branch. Spin up thousands in parallel — nothing is shared between runs.
Agents, skills, triggers, connectors and policies are plain files in one repo. Diff them, review them in a change request, roll them back.
Open source and self-hostable. Bring your own runtime and model keys. No black box, no lock-in — read every line.
One repo, one config, one command. Here is the whole developer loop, top to bottom.
One line installs the CLI. kortix init scaffolds a project — a kortix.toml manifest and a .kortix/ runtime — and wires Kortix into the coding agent you already use. Start from the general-knowledge-worker template with 60+ ready-made skills, or from minimal.
Open Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or opencode and build. Agents and skills are markdown — a persona, its model, its skills and tools. Edit them by hand, or just describe what you want and let your coding agent write them. It is a coding framework for knowledge work.
kortix.toml is the source of truth for everything operational: env and secrets, sandbox images, cron and webhook triggers, 3,000+ connectors, Slack channels, even deployable apps. Versioned from the first commit.
kortix ship commits, pushes, creates the cloud project, links your repo (GitHub or managed), and prompts for any missing secrets. Triggers, webhooks and channels go live immediately — no separate infra to stand up.
Every session is its own isolated VM on its own git branch, booting the runtime and your repo. Spawn hundreds of thousands of agents in parallel — zero interference. Agents commit and push their work, and a change request is the only way it reaches main, so everything is reviewable and reversible.
Sessions run on the open-source OpenCode runtime today, pluggable by design — Codex and cloud runtimes are on the roadmap. Bring your own model keys (Anthropic, OpenAI, local) or use Kortix compute. Nothing about the runtime is hidden.
Scaffold, ship, run, automate, connect and review — one CLI does it all. The same binary is pre-authenticated inside every sandbox, so agents drive Kortix with the exact commands you do.

One repo is the source of truth. Every agent, skill, trigger and policy is a plain file — versioned in git, reviewed in a change request, deployed in one command, and portable between cloud and self-host.
Kortix is open source — read it, fork it, audit every line. Self-host the exact same stack on a laptop, a VPS, your VPC, or fully air-gapped.
