Overview

Its workflows can query decision models, score events with logistic regression or gradient-boosted trees, branch on results, call webhooks, open review cases and make later decisions. The Grayson decision model answers plain-language questions about structured and unstructured data; its answers can be combined with transaction fields as features for traditional machine-learning models. Kairos also supports experiments that train and compare model variants on historical data before publishing a winning workflow version.

The platform provides an MCP server for Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and other agents, enabling agents to inspect decisions, build workflows and run experiments with actions recorded under an agent key. It includes TypeScript and Python SDKs, a CLI, an HTTP API, a web console and Docker-based self-hosting, with Postgres managed by the server. The repository is licensed under Apache License 2.0.
