24 alternatives to Agent OS

Hi HN, I built Agent OS because I was tired of the "orchestration tax" – writing the same safety checks, memory management, and tool-handling code in every AI agent project. What it does: - Visual policy editor in VS Code (no more YAML wrestling) - Multi-model verification (GPT-4 + Claude + Gemini consensus before risky actions) - Built-in compliance frameworks (GDPR, HIPAA, SOC2, PCI-DSS) - 50+ agent templates for common use cases - One-click deployment to GitHub Actions The core idea: Instead of building orchestration on top of your code, Agent OS provides an "operating system" layer that…

   Agentlyfree tier, from $33/mo▲336

   Agently is an AI Work OS where documents, tasks, team chat, and integrations are fully interconnected, and AI employees operate inside that shared workspace. Instead of prompting AI in isolation, agents can read project context, turn strategy docs into tasks, coordinate with teammates, run research/outreach/content workflows, update boards, and push results back into the system or external tools. The workspace acts as persistent memory, so work continues instead of resetting every prompt. Happy to answer any questions

   Agentplace▲1,015

   Garry Tan posted a video this week about what he calls 20x companies. The idea is that small teams beat incumbents many times their size by automating everything internally, not just one or two functions. This alpha is real, and I think it is underhyped tbh. But here's the honest part, building agents is hard, expensive and most of the scaffolding we make would be obsolete with a new labs release. at the same time models are not quite there and they are not keeping up with "coding is dead" and "knowledge workers are doomed". Pushing them beyond what they can actually do reliably just boils…

   Gro▲373

   Hey HN, I am Leo Jiang, founder of Gro. I built this to solve the problem of fragmented sales stacks where teams waste hours between lead databases and outreach tools. Gro is a unified AI sales agent that combines a 1b+ contact database with AI propensity scoring and automated outreach across Email and LinkedIn. By putting prospecting and engagement into one workspace, we eliminate manual data hunting so sales reps can focus on closing deals. I would love your thoughts on our approach to automated B2B growth.

    Zams▲271

    Hey HN, We just launched Zams — a platform to build AI agents that automate repetitive B2B sales tasks like CRM updates, deal follow-ups, lead research, and forecasting. You describe what you want in plain English, and your agent gets it done across tools like Slack, Notion, HubSpot, Salesforce, and more. Zams agents run in two ways: - Command agents – Triggered on-demand from Slack or the web - Ambient agents – Run in the background on a schedule, using context from docs, emails, and dashboards No brittle workflows, no “if-this-then-that” builders. Just intelligent agents that act. We…

    TaskShell▲86

    I initially built this for myself but some folks asked me to open access to it. Let me explain what I built and why. I'm a product designer who transitioned from only designing to building complete software products myself and I found myself using AI coding agents literally every day. I started with cursor, then codex and claude code, then kilo code, and then moved to opencode. The only thing AI agents couldn't get done for me was to keep track of my todos and tasks for all my projects. I ended up vibe coding a todo app separately or using apps like TickTick. The main issue with separate…

    Cosmic AI Agents▲145

    Hey HN, We're Cosmic (YC W19), a headless CMS. Today we're launching Team Agents and the Cosmic Agent. Team Agents are AI-powered team members that live in Slack, WhatsApp, and Telegram. They have names, roles, persistent memory, and real capabilities. Not chatbots. Not one-off prompts. Persistent agents that work alongside your team. Here's what they can do: CONTENT AGENTS write blog posts, landing pages, and marketing copy. They generate images, add SEO metadata, and publish directly to the CMS. Message them in Slack, get a finished post back. CODE AGENTS read your codebase, create…

    AgentGrid▲77

    Hi HN, I’m Michael, I built AgentGrid with my friend Souren because we were tired of losing our coding sessions and couldn't keep track of what was actually being built across our many projects. Our approach was to use an infinite canvas desktop app for the TUIs we already know and love, mainly claude + codex. We drew inspiration from Figma and Railway. Overtime we added image nodes, notes, terminals, coding editors, source control, etc. I wasn't sure about it at first. It took me a month to give the first version Souren built a real try. What got me was an Apple System Update I've been…

    You Are an Agent▲14

    After adding "Human" as a LLM provider to OpenCode a few months ago as a joke, it turns-out that acting as a LLM is quite painful. But it was surprisingly useful for understanding real agent harnesses dev. So I thought I wouldn't leave anyone out! I made a small oss game - You Are An Agent - youareanagent.app - to share in the (useful?) frustration It's a bit ridiculous. To tell you about some entirely necessary features, we've got: - A full WASM arch-linux vm that runs in your browser for the agent coding level - A bad desktop simulation with a beautiful excel simulation for our computer…

    Ano – no-noise team chat with your code agent as your assistant▲9

    Hi HN! I'm building Ano because I was tired of Slack's bloat and sluggishness, and never got any value out of their agent implementation. Ano is built local-first for speed (using Rocicorp Zero), focused on communication, and lets you use your own code agent as an assistant (Claude in my case, but it works with Codex too). I use the code agent to summarize anything unread (linking back to what matters), respond with context, and share data to and from connected tools (GitHub, Posthog, Attio, etc). Using your code agent for this might sound counter-intuitive, but to me it's the most powerful…
