AethOS
An agent with production access you can defend in a review
- Who it's for
- Platform and DevOps engineers who want an AI agent operating real infrastructure, and who personally have to answer for whatever it did at 3am.
- The problem it solves
- An LLM with deploy rights is a liability. Most agentic ops tools offer no approval gate, no evidence trail, and no way to reconstruct why a service was restarted — so the honest answer to 'can I let this touch production?' is no, and the tool goes unused.
A secure operational intelligence platform — not a chatbot wrapper and not an unrestricted shell. Multi-channel intents from chat, Telegram, and Mission Control converge on one orchestration brain with read-only-first engineering analysis and explicit approval for anything that writes. Works with Anthropic, OpenAI, OpenRouter, or local models. Runs on your machine, against your keys, under your policy.

Every product names its customer
What it does
AethOS routes every operational action through a governed lifecycle: read-only analysis first, mutation preflight, explicit human approval, then evidence and an audit artifact. Unrestricted shell and auto-merge are blocked by design, not by configuration.
Why it's different
- Human approval required for every mutation — enforced, not advisory
- Evidence and audit artifacts generated before action, not after
- Unrestricted shell, auto-merge, and silent background coding are blocked
Core capabilities
Each capability maps to a concrete screen in the app.
Governed lifecycle
Channels → orchestration → policy → provider runtime → evidence → verification → audit.
Read-only first
Analysis never needs write access. Writes require a preflight and an explicit approval.
Mission Control
One console for what the agent proposes, what you approved, and what it did.
Your keys, your machine
Self-hosted under Apache 2.0. No data leaves infrastructure you control.
Access
Apache 2.0, self-hosted. You run it on your own machine against your own provider keys — there is no hosted tier to sign up for.
