What it does

aster-code for coding agents. aster-work for custom agents, workflows and general work. Intelligent auto routing cuts cost while matching frontier performance.

We train Aster to recognise what your task needs—and choose which model takes it on. Some tasks need a frontier model. Others don’t. You shouldn’t have to work out which. Using a frontier model for everything gets expensive. Always choosing the cheapest can compromise the result. The Aster Model uses intelligent algorithms trained to consider each task and its context, then select the model for that step. Aster Router is our purpose-trained model for choosing which intelligence takes on your task. A routing policy trained with reinforcement learning—using the task, its context and the cost of the next move. Real task data + model outcomes. Our own model, trained for model choice.

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
