agentOS
agentOS is a lightweight library that gives each AI agent its own virtual operating system including filesystem, execution environment, and orchestration primitives. It runs in-process within existing backends using WebAssembly and V8 isolates, delivering dramatically faster cold starts and lower resource usage than traditional sandboxes. It supports multiple agent frameworks and provides durable storage, loops, and agent-to-agent communication.
