Move between product operations, platform setup, governance, self-hosting, and development.
Agents
Agents are headless execution aggregates owned by one Organization. Configure an Agent’s Runtime and versioned behavior, manage its lifecycle and access, and add zero or more Communication Connections independently.
Platforms
Connect Agents to Slack, Microsoft Teams, Telegram, Discord, and deployment-enabled Email, or use built-in Web Chat.
Templates and Skills
Compose Agent behavior with scoped Template drafts, explicit publishing, immutable Template and Skill versions, and Agent-private overrides.
Integrations
Give Agents controlled access to external tools through Agent Secrets, Shared Credentials, scoped OAuth access, and Runtime-materialized Skills.
Observe and govern
Govern Organization Agent defaults and models, Agent activity, Communication Connection health and recovery, costs, access, and platform oversight.
Self-hosting
Plan, configure, and operate Agent Barn on infrastructure you manage.
Develop and extend
Understand the system, extend supported boundaries, test changes, and contribute safely.
