AI Agent Platforms
A maintained directory of 49 open-source and source-available AI agent platforms. AI coworkers are persistent agents you delegate real work to: they sign in to tools, keep context, run on schedules, and come back with finished work. This site tracks the platforms that provide them, the frameworks developers build them with, and the automation and specialist agents around them, with the license and hosting model for every project.
