What Is Yao Agents

All your agents and workspaces in one place, on every device you own. Track tasks on a board, accessible from desktop, mobile, browser, or API. Self-hosted.

Agents run on dedicated machines, working in parallel across every device you connect. One app manages the entire fleet. Every machine you add is more capacity.

## Why Yao Agents

Give your agents instructions from your desktop, phone, or browser. They work across your machines while you move on to something else.

### Workspace

Every workspace is isolated. Work stays separate, managed across all your computers. Everything accumulates into documents that become your knowledge base.

While working, agents can read what they need from any node.

### Task Board

Say what you need in a conversation, and it becomes a task on your board. Keep the conversation going, keep it running, and it improves with use, growing into an agent purpose-built for this kind of work.

Connect task agents to your apps, or share them with others.

### Open API

Expert and task agents integrate into your own apps and workflows. They're built on standard APIs, with both SSE and WebSocket support.

Let your agents become part of your business, wherever you need them.
