_How Kortix works_

## 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.

### 1. One git repo is the company

Agents, skills, connectors, triggers and memory are files in one git repo that is the company.

`kortix.yaml`

```yaml
# kortix.yaml
agents:
  support-triage:
    file: agents/support-triage.md   # what it does, in plain markdown
    connectors: all                  # what it may reach
```

Source: README.md in https://github.com/kortix-ai/suna

### 2. A machine per session

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

`terminal`

```sh
$ kortix sessions new --prompt "Reproduce issue #142, fix it, and open a change request"
$ kortix cr ls   # review what the agents propose
```

Source: README.md in https://github.com/kortix-ai/suna

### 3. Permissions and secrets in the repo

Per-resource permissions for people and agents. Roles, groups, and an audit trail.

`kortix.yaml`

```yaml
agents:
  release-bot:
    file: agents/release-bot.md
    connectors: [github]
    kortix_permissions: [project.gitops.push]
    secrets: [GITHUB_AGENT_TOKEN]
```

Source: kortix.com/docs/project/manifest

### 4. Every change lands through review

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

`terminal`

```sh
$ kortix projects clone <project_id> my-project
$ git checkout -b tighten-triage
$ kortix cr open --head tighten-triage --title "Tighten the triage prompt"
```

Source: kortix.com/docs/git

### 5. 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.

`about`

```
Build, host, manage, monitor. Then train and eval.
Train: your own models, trained on the work your agents already did.
Eval: evals and reinforcement learning, scored on your own sessions.
```

### 6. Evals on your own sessions

Then evals and reinforcement learning, scored on your own sessions rather than a public benchmark.

_FAQ_

## 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.

## Run your team's agents from one repo you own.

Start with one job and grow from there.
