About AgentsKit
AgentsKit is a free, MIT-licensed TypeScript ecosystem for building production AI agents from composable parts. Its dependency-free core connects runtimes, models, tools, memory, RAG, observability, sandboxing, evaluation, and UI through stable contracts, so teams can replace one layer without rewriting the rest of the application. The ecosystem includes Chat for agent interfaces across web, desktop, CLI, and mobile; Registry for ready-made agents installed as source code you own; Agents Playbook for executable engineering practices; Doc Bridge for keeping agent instructions aligned with human documentation; and Code Review for repository-aware review automation. All are free and open source. AKOS is separate and optional: a paid managed control plane for organizations that need infrastructure, governance, RBAC, egress controls, RAG, observability, and provider independence without operating every layer themselves.
Who Is AgentsKit For?
AgentsKit is for teams that want production agent capabilities without giving one provider or hosted platform control of their architecture:
- TypeScript teams building production agents from typed, testable components
- Teams seeking provider choice without architectural lock-in
- Developers who want ready-made agents as auditable source they own
- Organizations choosing between self-hosting and optional managed operations
How Founders Can Use AgentsKit
- Replace a model, tool, memory, RAG, or UI layer without redesigning the app
- Adapt a tested Registry agent installed directly into your own codebase
- Ship one agent UI across web, desktop, CLI, and mobile with AgentsKit Chat
- Connect agents to business tools through ready-made integrations and MCP
- Add managed infrastructure and governance through AKOS only when needed

AgentsKit Features
AgentsKit is built around replaceable layers rather than a monolithic stack. Teams choose only the runtime, models, tools, memory, RAG, observability, sandboxing, evaluation, and UI they need, and can change any layer without rewriting the rest.
- Swap models, tools, memory, RAG, and interfaces through stable contracts
- 22 packages on a zero-dependency core under 10 KB
- 25 native adapters covering 140 providers and 5,000+ models
- 50 integrations, 17 memory backends, and 7 UI bindings
- Registry agents install as verified, owned source with explicit updates
- Free MIT ecosystem with AKOS as an optional managed enterprise control plane
Pricing
AgentsKit, Chat, Registry, Agents Playbook, Doc Bridge, and Code Review are free and MIT licensed. AKOS is a separate optional paid managed control plane for teams that need enterprise infrastructure, governance, RBAC, egress controls, RAG, and observability.
Verdict
AgentsKit fills the gap between easy but closed agent platforms and assembling a production stack from unrelated libraries. Its value is not just breadth; it is the ability to change models, providers, tools, memory, RAG, and interfaces without surrendering the application architecture. The open-source ecosystem is free and MIT licensed, while AKOS remains a separate optional managed path for teams that need enterprise operations and governance.
