About

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.

Key Features

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

Use Cases

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

Who it is 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

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.
