Omnara is an open-source platform that gives developers one API to deploy and run agents for their users and team. Agents run on any model, any machine and any cloud, with durable sessions and access controls. You launch an agent from the CLI, the TypeScript SDK or cURL, and you keep ownership of your data and code. There is no platform fee: you can bring your own model keys and connect your own machines for free, or pay usage rates for Omnara-managed models and machines. The source is open under Apache 2.0, and it can be self-hosted.
Omnara is for engineering teams that need production agents but do not want to build the underlying infrastructure. Product teams can put agents inside a dashboard, platform teams can run internal Slack agents, and developers can build specialized workflows such as code review or interactive CLI tools. Founders who want to avoid lock-in to a single model vendor or cloud benefit from its model and machine flexibility. Enterprises can request bring-your-own-cloud deployment, on-prem setup, SSO and audit-log configuration, and custom service levels. The company is backed by Y Combinator.
A SaaS team can embed a support triage agent in its product dashboard that searches tickets, such as billing complaints from the past week. An internal tools group can deploy a Slack agent for colleagues without writing session handling, retries and a sandbox from scratch. An engineering team can run code review agents on machines it controls. A company with strict data rules can self-host the open-source code or run on its own cloud. A startup can prototype with its own model keys at no platform cost and move to managed machines billed by memory-hours when it needs scale.
