Automatos OS is the engine: an open-source, API-first backend with agents, memory, retrieval, knowledge graphs, NL2SQL, documents and socials. Studio is where you run it. Everything else is built on top of it.
Automatos OS has no screen of its own. Agents, memory, retrieval, graphs, NL2SQL, documents, socials and the harness that governs them all sit behind one API. Studio is the first interface; widgets, chat channels, our own products and yours are others.
Every incoming message walks the same five tiers: override and cache, then rules and triggers (T2a, T2b), then semantic matching (T2.5) with keyword intent (T2c) as its fallback, and the LLM only when they miss.
Goals decompose into a task graph. A stateless coordinator reconciles state every 5 seconds — plan, dispatch, verify, repeat.
A biologically‑inspired hierarchy. Sessions promote into facts; facts decay until they earn a place in long-term memory.
Each product has one buyer, one promise and one button. The OS underneath is the same for all of them, so a new business costs a front end, not a platform. Every one carries Powered by Automatos AI.
The control panel for the OS: Command Centre, board, documents, brand kit, socials and the marketplace. Hosted beta opens November 2026 · Join the waitlist. Runs locally today as open source (Apache 2.0).
Join the waitlist ↗Courses and an AI tutor at academy.automatos.app, with a mobile app on its way to the stores.
Automatos Academy ↗The cockpit, plans, replay and a trade journal at markets.automatos.app. Built by Automatos AI: a deterministic core computes every number, and its AI analysts run on the OS when switched on. Free during the pilot. Not financial advice.
Automatos Markets ↗Chat and blog widgets that run on the OS and are managed in Studio. This site's field notes are served by one.
For developers →12 Shopify agent templates in the Studio marketplace, in two packages: Shopify Management and Shopify Development. A Shopify App Store app is next; it is not available yet.
Ask about the Shopify app →A Helm chart exists and is tested in CI. Single sign-on and more cloud providers come next.
See the editions →BudStacks customers can add Automatos to their plan, and we're working with a few Shopify partners on their merchants' stores.
Become a partner →A voice assistant, a bot in a chat channel, or your own product, all over the same API.
Start building →The same engine and the same Studio, wherever it needs to run.
Free, on your own machine, Apache 2.0 and public on GitHub. Agents can work on your own Claude Code or other CLI subscription. docker compose up and it's yours.

Plenty of AI operating systems are a chat window and a voice. Here's what's underneath this one.
| Aspect | A typical AI “OS” | Automatos |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | A chat window in front of a model | A headless OS with an API. Studio, widgets, chat channels and our own products are all interfaces to it |
| Output | Answers you copy somewhere else | Invoices, letters, spreadsheets, social posts and video, rendered from your brand kit and saved with a share link |
| Control | Does whatever the model decides | A board of tickets that can be set to ask before work runs. Social posts wait for your approval, and an approval is tied to the exact content that was approved |
| Architecture | One app | 17 feature modules, with CI checking the boundaries between them (19 Oct 2026). Swap models today |
| Business | One user | Workspaces, roles, plans and render quotas, and partners who offer it to their own customers |
| Where it runs | Their cloud | Local and open source (Apache 2.0) today. The same code runs as hosted Studio (beta opens November 2026), and a Helm chart for Kubernetes is tested in CI |
| Proof | A demo video | Over 17,000 backend tests passed in CI on main (19 Oct 2026), and a harness where customer personas grade the real outputs in overnight runs |
| Interfaces | One | Studio, website widgets, Claude Code sessions, the Automatos Academy tutor, Automatos Markets' AI analysts when switched on, and chat channels: Telegram, Slack, Discord and WhatsApp, plus a generic webhook |
Agents, tasks, documents, knowledge and socials, over the same API the product uses. Build your own front end on it.
Apache 2.0: the orchestrator, the frontend and the services. Next.js, FastAPI, Postgres and S3, with your own model keys.
Agent sessions call the OS's tools over MCP. Chat and blog widgets put it on any website with one snippet.
Every piece of the OS can be reused, so every new way to reach customers is a front end and a partnership, not a rebuild.
BudStacks users can add Automatos to their plan, and we're working with a few Shopify partners. Any platform whose customers run small businesses can do the same: their brand, our OS.
A package brings the agents and Playbooks a job needs. Three in the Studio marketplace: Socials, Shopify Management and Shopify Development. More trades are planned.
The Academy app for learners once it is in the stores, and the Shopify App Store once our app is listed. Distribution we don't have to build.
A voice assistant, a screen on the wall, a bot in WhatsApp or Telegram, or a company's own product, all over the same API.
A Helm chart exists today. Single sign-on and more cloud providers come next, for firms that can't send data out.
From November 2026, people can submit agents and Playbooks to the Studio marketplace for others to install in one click. Workspace templates are coming. Auto is the guide.
Run your business in Studio, learn in the Academy, read the crypto markets in Automatos Markets, or build your own interface on the open-source OS.
