For teams outgrowing a single-operator agent
An open source AgenticSeek alternative your team owns
AgenticSeek is a fully local, voice-enabled personal agent for one operator. Kortix is the open source AI Operating System a team owns: your agents, skills, company memory and connectors live in one git repo, and every session runs on its own isolated sandbox.

Six layers, one system your team owns
Build, host, manage, monitor, then train and eval: one place your agents run and all of your context connects.
- 01Build
One git repo is the company
Agents, skills, connectors, triggers and memory are files in one git repo that is the company.

A machine per session
One isolated sandbox per session. Each session has its own isolated machine and branch.

Permissions and secrets in the repo
Per-resource permissions for people and agents. Roles, groups, and an audit trail.

Every change lands through review
Session work reaches main through a change request. Merge is default-deny for agents.

Your own models, next
The layer Kortix is building next: your own models, trained on the work your agents already did, inside the same platform.

Questions a team asks before it switches
What is the difference between AgenticSeek and Kortix?
AgenticSeek is a local, voice-enabled personal agent for one operator. Kortix is the open source AI Operating System a team owns: agents, skills, company memory and connectors live in one git repo, and a change request sits between an agent and main.
Can I self-host Kortix instead of using the cloud?
Yes. Run it on Kortix Cloud, in your VPC, or on your own on-prem network. Self-host is free.
Which models can a Kortix agent use?
Any model provider with your own keys. Or the ChatGPT plan you already pay for. Or sign in with your OpenCode Console account for OpenCode Zen and Go.
How does a team control what an agent changes?
Each session runs on its own isolated sandbox and branch, and its work reaches main through a change request a person approves. Merge is default-deny for agents.
Is Kortix only for code, like a coding-agent control center?
Coding is one of many jobs. The same agents also work in Slack, on schedules and across connectors, and every session is a sandbox on its own branch.
