Select

Select is an open-source AI agent orchestrator that runs company workflows with verified results and earned autonomy.

Select is an open-source AI agent orchestration system that lets you run your company with AI agents that earn their autonomy. It allows you to build an organization with agents of any role and model, managed through an org chart, permissions, and budgets. Every result is checked by code against a delivery contract, and agents progress from supervised to sampled and autonomous based on verified successes. The system supports inputs and outputs from models like Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini, and Ollama, handles real mailboxes via IMAP and SMTP, and performs deterministic verification for tasks. It is designed for teams wanting rigorous oversight, transparent error rates, and automated workflows backed by code receipts.
