Common Kernel

Agent swarm engineering

We design, build and run swarms of AI agents that do real work for your business: research, outbound, operations. On an open-source kernel you can inspect down to the byte.

What Common Kernel is

The system we build your swarm on. Open source, and it records everything the agents do, so you can see what you're paying for.

Every agent, every dollar

Forty agents on one screen: what each one is doing, what it has spent, what failed. Costs are priced from each provider's own rates, to the fraction of a cent.

Down to the bytes

Open any agent's turn and see the request it sent, what the model answered, and every file it touched. Nothing is a summary of a summary.

One agent's turn in commonkernel: the request, the model's streamed reply, its cost, and the file it read.One agent's turn traced in commonkernel.

Nothing ships without you

Agents propose. Writes to your CRM, inbox or Slack wait for your approval, with the evidence attached.

Runs on your tools

HubSpot, Slack, Linear, any API or MCP server. The agents never hold your keys.

Yours to inspect

Open source. Run it yourself, or have us build and run your swarm on it.

Research

Papers, field notes and worked examples from the swarms we run will appear here as we publish them. Each one links to the recorded runs behind it.
