Audience
DevOps and platform engineering teams seeking a tool to automate and scale intelligent operational tasks in Kubernetes using agent-driven workflows
About kagent
kagent is an open source, cloud-native AI agent framework designed to let teams build, deploy, and run autonomous AI agents directly inside Kubernetes clusters to automate complex operational tasks, troubleshoot cloud-native systems, and manage workloads without constant human intervention. It enables DevOps and platform engineers to create intelligent agents that understand natural language, plan, reason, and execute multi-step actions across Kubernetes environments using built-in tools and Model Context Protocol (MCP)-compatible tool integrations for functions like querying metrics, displaying pod logs, managing resources, and interacting with service meshes. It supports multiple model providers (such as OpenAI, Anthropic, and others), agent-to-agent communication for orchestrating sophisticated workflows, and observability features that help teams monitor agent behavior and performance.

Atako
Atako is a workspace where humans and AI agents work together.
Atako gives you a workforce: AI agents that each have their own computer, a role on your team and a scope of work. They browse, handle files, use software and carry missions over time.
- Agent-to-agent collaboration: agents delegate tasks to each other, ask for a second opinion and hand over the relay.
- Human notices: when an agent needs a decision, a permission or has a blocker, it raises its hand. You answer in one click.
- Shared projects: humans and agents work on the same board, and a wiki documents everything as the project moves.
- One dashboard: see what each agent is doing right now, what it has accomplished and where it needs you.
- Permissions per integration: connect Slack, Notion, GitHub, HubSpot and 190+ tools, then decide what each agent can read or write, tool by tool.
Pick any model (OpenAI, Anthropic, Mistral...) with Atako credits or your own API key. 14-day free trial, no credit card.

Skymel
Skymel is a cloud-native AI orchestration platform built around its real-time Orchestrator Agent (OA) and companion AI assistant, ARIA. The Orchestrator Agent enables both fully automatic runtime agent creation and developer-controlled dynamic agents that seamlessly integrate across any device, cloud, or neural network architecture. It leverages NeuroSplit’s distributed-compute technology to optimize inference, automatically routing each request through the ideal model and execution environment (on-device, cloud, or hybrid), unifying error handling, and reducing API costs by 40–95% while improving performance. On top of OA, Skymel ARIA delivers a single, synthesized answer to any query by orchestrating ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and other leading AI models in real-time, eliminating manual prompt chaining and subscription juggling.

Phinite
Phinite provides shared infrastructure for building, deploying, and governing AI agents across orchestration, security, observability, lifecycle management, and environment promotion — so engineering teams don't rebuild these layers for every new agent use case.
Core capabilities:
Orchestration for multi-agent systems (agent-to-agent, nested calls)
Deep session-level observability: execution timelines, decision variables, tool calls, latency/cost tracking
Private Agent Registry for skill discoverability
Eval suite for accuracy/safety benchmarking
Dev-to-Production workflow with environment promotion
Kubernetes-native deployment, VPC-internal deployability
SOC 2 Type 2 compliance
