IntentKit

IntentKit is an open-source, self-hosted cloud agent cluster that manages a collaborative team of AI agents for task automation.

IntentKit provides a framework for creating and configuring multiple AI agents that operate as a collaborative team. The system runs on standard containerized services including an API server, autonomous runner, and scheduler, with data persistence managed through PostgreSQL, Redis, and S3-compatible storage. Agents communicate via chat channels like Telegram, Slack, and Lark, and can execute tasks on set schedules or call other agents for assistance. It includes an extensible tool system that supports capabilities ranging from simple web searches to blockchain transactions. The platform functions as a cloud-native alternative to local-first frameworks, making it suitable for production environments.
