Omnara is an open-source managed agent platform designed to run AI agents on any model and machine. It provides built-in tools, secrets, permissions, and streaming, and can be self-hosted or used via Omnara Cloud. The platform uses Postgres to save every step of an agent's state, allowing workers to resume agents after crashes or restarts. It supports integration with Slack, Discord, and GitHub, and connects to models from OpenAI, Anthropic, OpenRouter, Amazon Bedrock, LiteLLM, Ollama, or custom endpoints. Users can run agents on custom machines using the Omnara daemon or via sandboxes from various providers.
