Operating system for AI agents that turns Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI and Cursor into a team with task handoff, loops, jobs and shared memory.

Added

Zeroboot logo

Zeroboot

Newsandboxes & code executionOpen source + cloud

VM sandboxes for running agent code that start in under a millisecond by forking a warm snapshot with copy-on-write memory.

Added

Beacon logo

Beacon

Newmemory & RAGOpen source

An open-source memory layer that captures traces from coding agents across harnesses and turns them into self-improving memory and visibility into what your agents did.

Added

agent-qa (Vostride) logo

agent-qa (Vostride)

Newevals & observabilitySee site

A self-improving AI QA agent with persistent memory that tests web, Android and iOS apps from plain-English test steps, for developers and coding agents.

Added

projectmem logo

projectmem

Newmemory & RAGOpen source

A local-first memory layer for coding agents that records issues, attempts, fixes and decisions and warns your agent before it repeats a past mistake.

Added

Sno Station logo

Sno Station

NewcodingOpen source + cloud

Sno Station turns the coding agents you already use (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Hermes, OpenClaw) into one squad on your machine with shared memory, and its Self Learning reviews their sessions and proposes skill-file fixes you approve.

Added

Graphicle logo

Graphicle

Newmemory & RAGOpen source

Graphicle, from KarLex AI, is a single local Rust program that gives Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and other MCP agents a code graph and memory, returning excerpts with file and line references from your code, docs and past sessions, with no account or telemetry.

Added

Dodaios logo

Dodaios

Newpersonal agentsOpen source

Open-source desktop agent OS for Windows, macOS and Linux (formerly Personal Jarvis): talk to it and it runs your coding CLIs side by side, your browser and your apps, with offline Whisper speech, a local wiki memory and support for Ollama, Claude or ChatGPT subscriptions.

Added

Anchor Action Index logo

Anchor Action Index

browser/computer useFreemium

Shared memory of web workflows for Anchor's cloud browsers: computer-use agents replay proven paths as deterministic code and the model only steps in where a page has changed, exposed as tools on Anchor's MCP server and REST API.

Added

Dosu logo

Dosu

NewcodingFreemium

Knowledge infrastructure that keeps docs, specs and agent memory current with your code for teams and coding agents.
