OpenShell is the safe, private runtime for autonomous AI agents.
OpenShell is a runtime for autonomous AI agents that executes them in sandboxed environments governed by declarative policies. It is used to restrict agents' access to files, credentials, data, and network resources, and the catalogue includes skills and workflows for operating and contributing to it.
