Agent Kernel
A framework-agnostic, cloud-agnostic runtime for running enterprise AI agents in production, with queued execution, built-in guardrails, and shared observability.
Agent Kernel is a platform layer for taking AI agents from prototype to production. It runs agents built with OpenAI Agents SDK, LangGraph, CrewAI, or Google ADK side by side, and the same agent code can deploy to AWS Lambda or ECS, Azure Functions or Container Apps, Google Cloud Run, on-premises, or any Kubernetes cluster through a Helm chart.
Every chat request runs through a queued pipeline, in-process by default or over SQS, Kafka, or NATS JetStream for distributed deployments, with retry, ordering, and deduplication built in. It includes guardrails from OpenAI and AWS Bedrock, PII detection, audit traces, and jailbreak prevention, pluggable session stores such as Redis, Valkey, DynamoDB, and Cosmos DB, and knowledge bases including ChromaDB and Neo4j. It supports MCP, A2A, and AG-UI, integrates with Slack, WhatsApp, Teams, and Telegram, and is Apache 2.0 licensed.
