Kernel

kern is a fast, rootless OCI container runtime, sandbox, and virtual resource runtime distributed as a small static binary without a daemon. It creates kernel-enforced containers from OCI images, using user, PID, mount, network, UTS, and IPC namespaces, overlay or read-only roots, a deny-by-default seccomp allowlist, and cgroup v2 limits; the `--security-profile untrusted` option applies the documented hardened bundle. It can also attach named CPU, memory, disk, and device profiles from `kern.toml` to containers, or apply resource caps directly to host processes with optional Landlock write confinement. The project supports container operations, Dockerfile builds, image pull/push and save/load, stack execution through its own or Docker Compose format, and includes Python and Node SDKs plus an MCP server for agents. Its Rust dependency tree uses libc, while image pulling delegates to system `curl` and `tar`; it runs natively on Linux, requires WSL2 on Windows, and needs a Linux virtual machine on macOS.

BrowserSkill is an open-source browser-automation bridge for AI agents, consisting of the `bsk` CLI and daemon plus a Chrome or Microsoft Edge extension. An agent sends browser tasks through the CLI; the local daemon routes them over WebSocket to the extension, which performs actions in a separate visible Agent Window. Agents can use existing browser login state, borrow an already open tab only with explicit approval, and request human intervention for captchas, confirmations, or other user-only steps. It supports shell-capable agent harnesses, macOS, Linux, and Windows, and is distributed under the MIT license.

BrowserOS is an open-source web browser that integrates agentic AI capabilities and runs AI agents locally on users' computers. It is presented as a privacy-first alternative to Chrome.

Semantic Kernel is an open-source SDK developed by Microsoft for building AI applications that combine large language models with conventional code, memory, and external connectors. It provides orchestration primitives, memory abstractions, tooling for prompts and skills, and SDKs for .NET and Python.

OpenBot is an open-source AI agent platform from CopilotKit that gives each agent its own computer with a browser, logins, files, tools, and a dedicated interaction channel. It runs in the user's infrastructure and accepts agents that speak the AG-UI protocol, including agents built with LangGraph, Mastra, CrewAI, Pydantic AI, Google ADK, or custom code. A single gateway mediates actions involving the computer, files, MCP servers, and UI components: it decides whether an action is permitted before execution and records it afterward. Agents can operate their own browser screen, hand control to a human for restricted actions, and return component-based responses. Docker Compose runs the application components and PostgreSQL, while the administrator supplies the model credentials; the repository describes the project as alpha software under active development.
