We've been building this in private for months. Today -- March 28th, 2026 -- the Core goes public.
ArgentOS is a personal AI operating system. It runs on your hardware, speaks through your channels, remembers your context, and works autonomously on your behalf. It's not a chatbot wrapper. It's a full runtime with memory, a heartbeat, contemplation, tools, and a visual workflow engine.
Core is the free, open-source foundation. Everything a single user or small team needs to run a personal AI agent that actually does things.
| System | What It Does |
|---|---|
| Memory | SQLite + pgvector hybrid search, auto-capture, entity tracking, embeddings |
| Heartbeat | Periodic accountability, contract/promise system, scoring |
| Contemplation | Always-on thinking loop -- local Qwen via Ollama, episode journaling |
| Channels | Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, and more |
| Workflows | Visual multi-agent pipeline builder with 62 connector integrations |
| Dashboard | React + WebGL avatar, chat, task board, alignment docs editor |
| 30+ Connectors | Real Python CLI harnesses with tests -- not stubs, not mocks |
| Intent System | Three-tier hierarchical policy engine for safe agent behavior |
| Model Router | Complexity scoring -- routes to local, fast, balanced, or powerful tier |
| SIS | Self-improving system -- lesson extraction from experience |
| Knowledge Library | RAG with agent-level ACL, PDF/DOCX/XLSX ingestion |
| Encrypted Secrets | AES-256-GCM credential storage with OS keychain integration |
Prerequisite: Homebrew (macOS)
curl -fsSL https://argentos.ai/install.sh | bashmacOS first. Linux support coming. The installer handles everything -- Node, pnpm, PostgreSQL, Redis, the native Argent.app, and onboarding.
The ArgentOS Marketplace is live:
- 54+ packages -- connectors, skills, workflow templates
- Connectors -- Slack, HubSpot, Stripe, GitHub, Notion, Salesforce, Jira, Twilio, SendGrid, and dozens more
- 3-layer security -- every package scanned with VirusTotal, reviewed before publishing
- GitHub OAuth -- sign in, submit packages, track installs
ArgentOS Business adds the organizational control layer on top of Core:
- Multi-agent workforce -- agent families, department hierarchies, role-based policies
- Execution worker -- autonomous task queue with approval workflows
- Job orchestrator -- cron-based workload scheduling across agent teams
- SpecForge -- AI project intake with 5-stage conductor pipeline
- Industry packs -- pre-built intent policies for law, healthcare, MSP, finance
- Operations dashboard -- Workflow Map, Workloads, Task Manager, Org Chart, Schedule

We want Core to be community-driven. Here's how to help:
- Star the Core repo -- seriously, it matters more than you think
- Join Discord -- this is where the community lives
- File issues -- bugs, feature requests, questions -- all welcome
- Submit PRs -- we review everything and good contributions ship fast
- Build connectors -- the pattern is documented, each one helps the whole ecosystem
- Share what you build -- your agents, workflows, and use cases inspire others
TypeScript (ESM), strict typing, Oxlint + Oxfmt. Fork, branch, PR, review. See CONTRIBUTING.md in Core for details.
ArgentOS was created by Jason Brashear -- 30+ years in IT (Cisco CCIE, Red Hat Certified Engineer), MSP owner in Austin, Texas. Built on enterprise-grade infrastructure: dual NVIDIA DGX Spark, Dell R750 (2TB RAM, 72 cores), 400 Gbps network backbone.
This isn't a weekend side project. This is the operating system we wanted to exist.
