Standard Agent Builder

Standard Agents is a company developing the open-source Standard Agent Specification and the Standard Agent Builder platform for portable, composable, domain-specific AI agents. The specification defines how agents are structured, composed, and executed across conforming runtimes, including turn limits, context hooks, sub-prompts, sub-agents, model and provider selection, persistent storage, and code execution. Agents maintain isolated context and can invoke one another as tools, allowing them to be packaged, shared, modified, and combined. Agent Builder is an implementation for building, hosting, and integrating agents through a TypeScript runtime, REST and WebSocket APIs, durable execution, persistent threads, logs, and zero-configuration infrastructure; the site describes it as available through a waitlist.

Agent Studio is Arize AI's managed platform for configuring and running custom AI agents. Agents can be created from scratch or from templates such as Signal and a cost agent, connected to projects containing traces, assigned tasks, and given skills such as GitHub or Datadog integrations. They run in managed sandboxes. Arize describes its broader platform as supporting agent observability, evaluation, tracing, experimentation, and continual improvement; in the demonstrated workflow, Signal reads traces on a schedule, files deduplicated issues, and turns failures into evaluation cases and regression datasets for experiments and fixes.

Agent S is an open-source computer-use agent framework from Simular. It accepts natural-language tasks, observes a real desktop through screen and accessibility signals, and operates ordinary applications by clicking, typing, scrolling, and executing optional local code rather than relying on per-application APIs or scripts. The project has progressed through three generations: accessibility-tree grounding with an LLM, a vision-based manager-worker architecture using multiple foundation models, and Agent S3, which scales computer-use attempts through parallel rollouts and selection. Its workflow can combine model-driven exploration with reusable automation code, replay saved skills, and recover when the interface changes. The framework supports macOS, Windows, and Linux, works with models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, OpenRouter, vLLM, and open-weight providers, and is distributed through the `gui-agents` Python package. An optional local coding environment can execute Python and Bash with the current user's permissions, so the repository warns that this capability should be used only in trusted environments.

Agent Substrate is an open-source runtime and control plane for running agent-like workloads at high density. It manages the lifecycle of sandboxed actors, including creation, destruction, suspension, and resumption, and assigns them to a smaller pool of worker pods while routing traffic to the active workers. The system uses Kubernetes for infrastructure provisioning and pod lifecycle management, with support for sandbox technologies including microVMs and gVisor. It preserves actors' volatile memory and filesystem state through full-state snapshots, enabling sub-second suspend and resume operations and multiplexing many stateful actors across shared infrastructure. It manages standard OCI containers at the kernel level and is designed to support different agent frameworks and harnesses, including ADK-compatible actors, LangChain agents, coding environments, and MCP servers. Agent Substrate is intended for running agents at scale rather than building them, and its workloads do not have to be literal AI agents. The repository notes that the project is not an officially supported Google product.

useAgent is an open-source AI coworker that gives Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, and Pi a shared workspace with isolated Linux computers, repositories, terminals, browsers, and team tools. It can handle research, websites, spreadsheets, reports, presentations, and code changes, returning usable files, artifacts, or pull requests through a web app, Slack, REST API, or scheduled tasks. Each run is stored as an event log in Postgres and uses a common event contract across supported agent engines. Daytona or CubeSandbox provides the isolated workstation, while integrations cross a trusted gateway as typed tools so credentials remain on the control plane rather than entering the sandbox. The workspace also supports versioned skills and playbooks, team knowledge and memory, approval-gated tools, revisioned workpieces, and durable sessions. The repository describes useAgent as alpha software with changing APIs and schemas. It can be self-hosted on Linux using Bun and Postgres with pgvector, and is licensed under AGPL-3.0-only; a commercial license is available for proprietary embedding, distribution, OEM, or white-label use.
