Elysia
An open-source framework that spins up an end-to-end agentic RAG application with just two terminal commands.

eve
The platform gives coding agents a native deployment surface — API, CLI, MCP, and agent-callable Skills — so agents ship and iterate on apps without a human relaying commands. Sandboxed VMs let agents run code they generated without that code touching your production environment. Durable Orchestration means a workflow that pauses for minutes or months resumes from the exact checkpoint, not from scratch. The constraint is architectural: there is no self-hosted path, so teams with strict data-residency requirements or air-gapped environments hit a wall before they write a single agent. At that point, the conversation moves to a competitor with an on-premises option.
