What is it?
Agenta is a self-hostable workspace for building specialized AI agents that automate and augment everyday work. Agents are built by describing the task in chat, connecting the apps they need, and refining them through feedback, so non-engineers on a team can create them as well as developers.
Agents can be shared across a team with per-agent permissions over which tools they use and whether they can read or write. Each run is traced and costs are tracked, and each session runs in its own isolated sandbox with its own browser and file system. Automations run agents on a schedule or when an event occurs in a connected app, with a history of every run.
Integrations include MCP and more than 1,000 apps through Composio, such as Gmail, Slack, Notion and GitHub. Models can be hosted APIs or self-hosted through Ollama, and the project supports using an existing Claude or ChatGPT subscription.
