AI-Native Workflow Orchestration

Open-source, self-hosted workflow orchestration where Gemini agents and human tasks are first-class citizens — durable, auditable, and yours to run.

Workflow automation is broken

Legacy tools force developers into XML verbosity, consultant dependency, and AI bolt-ons.

The same lead-triage process. YAML you can version control. XML you can't.

AI-Native Agents

          
Gemini-powered nodes with prompt, model, output schema, confidence threshold, and retry — all in the process definition. No bolt-on integrations.

Durable Runtime

          
PostgreSQL-backed with transactional outbox, restart recovery, and durable job leases. Stop the engine, restart it — processes resume from the exact same state.

Self-Hosted

          
Your data stays on your infrastructure. One command to run: curl ... | bash. Works on-prem or in your cloud. No vendor lock-in.
