What it is
Agenta is an open-source workspace where you build specialized agents that automate and augment your work. You build agents by chatting with them, connect apps, share with your team, and run background agents on a schedule or in response to events.
How it works
The project provides workspaces for agents, human approvals and permissions, background agents, tracing and cost inspection, and team access. It supports multiple harnesses and models, with integration points to MCP servers and external apps (e.g., Gmail, Slack, Notion, GitHub). Documentation and self-hosting options describe installation via a self-hosted workflow and cloud deployment.
Getting started
From the README:
- Get started with Cloud: Try Agenta Cloud (link provided in docs).
- Self-host Agenta: Paste this into your agent and it will walk you through setup and testing:
1. Install the Agenta self-hosting skill: npx skills add Agenta-AI/agenta-skills
2. Help me self-host Agenta with its repository.
For more details, read the self-hosting documentation (link in readme).
