OPEN SOURCE AGENT RUNTIME

Install agents,
not frameworks.

Open-source runtime for specialist AI agents

Stop wiring MCP servers, glue code, and credentials. One command gives you a specialist with the right model, tools, and prompts — ready to run.

Why Octomind?

The four pains every agent builder hit in 2026 — and what Octomind does instead

The Problem

  • Config Wars Stitching three tools, writing glue code nobody wants to own. No central registry, no quality signal.
  • Generic AI fails in expert domains Wrong drug dosages. Hallucinated case citations. NY moving to ban AI chatbots posing as lawyers.
  • Sessions break at hour 4 Naive truncation drops the decisions you need. Quality collapses. Restart.
  • Bills surprise you $7K daily overages. No per-task budget. No kill switch.

Octomind

  • Tap registry One command installs a specialist with the right model, MCP servers, and prompts — pre-wired by domain experts.
  • 48 specialists across 12 domains Lawyer (9 jurisdictions), doctor, engineer, devops, finance, security, content, launch. Grounded MCP, not vibes.
  • Adaptive compression Cache-aware, structurally preserving. 4-hour sessions stay sharp. Smaller context, faster responses, lower cost.
  • Hard spending caps Per-request and per-session enforced — agent stops, falls back, or warns before the bill.

One Command. Any Specialist.

Like Homebrew for AI agents — community-built specialists you run with a single command

octomind
$ octomind run doctor:blood
Installed medical specialist. Paste your lab results...
$ "Interpret these blood test results for a 45-year-old male"
WBC slightly elevated — likely infection. LDL/HDL ratio normal...
$ octomind run devops:kubernetes
Installed Kubernetes specialist with kubectl, helm, kustomize...
$ "Why is my pod stuck in CrashLoopBackOff?"
Checking logs... Found OOMKilled. Memory limit too low...

Browse 50+ specialists in the Tap registry. Or build and share your own.

Built for Customizable AI Agents

No-code agent runtime that doesn't box you in

🧠 Memory

Stop Context Rot

Adaptive compression saves 72.5% of tokens automatically. Work for 4+ hours — the agent remembers decisions from hour one. Cache-aware cost analysis ensures compression only triggers when it saves money.

🔄 Flexibility

13+ Providers, Zero Lock-in

OpenRouter, OpenAI, Anthropic, DeepSeek, Google, Ollama, and more. Switch models mid-session with /model. Hit a rate limit? Swap providers instantly — no restart, no lost context.

Power

Dynamic MCP

Agents extend themselves at runtime. Register new MCP servers mid-session — no restart, no config edits. The agent decides what tools it needs and loads them on the fly.

🚀 Simplicity

Zero Config, Full Control

Single Rust binary — installs in 30 seconds. Works out of the box with sensible defaults. Power users: customize everything with TOML — per-role models, spending limits, sandboxed execution.
