Yao

Yao is an agent management platform that allows users to create, run, and share AI agents for task tracking and knowledge base accumulation.

Yao Agents is a platform for building, deploying, and managing AI agents across multiple devices. Users create agents through conversational interfaces, where inputs generate task items on managed boards. The platform keeps workspaces isolated and automatically stores interactions into documents to build a persistent knowledge base. Agents function on remote devices, ensuring local machines remain untouched by the processing load. Developers can connect these agents to existing applications using standard APIs, including support for Server-Sent Events (SSE) and WebSockets. This system is designed for managing specialized agents that improve with use and can be shared across teams.
