CortexPrism/cortex

CortexPrism/cortex is an Apache-2.0-licensed, Deno 2.x-built self-hosted AI agent operating system that ships persistent memory, a tool ecosystem, sandboxed code execution, multi-agent orchestration, and a full web UI as one local-first runtime, so AI agent builders, automation engineers, and power users can run a self-hosted 'agent OS' instead of stitching memory, tools, and a UI on top of a plai

Why it matters

Useful for AI agent builders, automation engineers, and power users who want a self-hosted agent OS without paying for a hosted platform, because CortexPrism ships an Apache-2.0 Deno 2.x runtime with persistent memory, a tool ecosystem, sandboxed code execution, multi-agent orchestration, and a web UI, which means an agent team can stand up one local-first 'agent OS' with one `deno task` instead o

Who should use it

AI agent builders who want a self-hosted, local-first 'agent OS' with persistent memory, sandboxed code execution, and a web UI bundled togetherAutomation engineers who need multi-agent orchestration on top of a Deno 2.x runtime with a tool ecosystem instead of a hosted platformPower users who want to run an agent OS on their own machine with one `deno task` instead of paying for a hosted agent platform

Who should skip it

Skip or sandbox it if you cannot review permissions, data access, and failure modes before use.

Risk explanation

It runs an agent OS with sandboxed code execution and a web UI on your machine, so isolate the runtime, validate the sandbox boundary with non-production code first, and lock down the web UI's auth surface before exposing it on a network; It accepts an LLM provider key for agent runs, so audit which providers and endpoints are wired in, pin the API key storage, and confirm the per-provider rate limits before letting the agent loop run unattended.
