Open-source AI agent runtime. Persistent memory. Autonomous pipelines. Self-hosted.

AI agents you own.

Nodyn is an open-source AI agent runtime you own completely. It runs in your infrastructure, remembers your projects across sessions, and connects your tools — getting smarter every week. Not a library. Not a SaaS. A complete runtime you deploy and control.

Open source  ·  Self-hosted  ·  Your data never leaves your machine

No re-briefing. No copy-paste. nodyn remembers your patterns across projects.

Every AI tool forgets you
the moment you close the tab.

You've explained your project architecture to ChatGPT. Then again. And again. You've re-pasted the same codebase context into Claude across a dozen sessions. You've rebuilt your agent setup from scratch every time you switch tools. It's not the AI that's the problem — it's that none of them persist.

And even the tools that try to remember you store that intelligence on their servers. Their pricing. Their API. Their roadmap. When the relationship ends — so does everything you taught them.

ChatGPT / Claude.ai

"Here's our project structure, the auth module uses JWT, the API layer…"

↳ Next session: explain it all again.

LangChain / CrewAI

Import 12 packages. Wire the chain. Define the graph. Write the glue code. Debug the prompts.

↳ A framework, not a runtime. Assembly required.

OpenAI Agents / Hosted AI

Your context, your patterns, your data — on their servers. Locked to their API. Their pricing.

↳ Vendor changes terms. You start over.

Your intelligence should compound, not reset.

SaaS AI rents you intelligence. Every session, you start from zero. Your context lives on someone else's server — and disappears the moment you stop paying.

Every SaaS AI agent
  • Knows nothing about your projects on day one
  • Your data trains their model — not yours
  • Vendor decides what it can do
  • Subscription ends → intelligence gone
  • One size fits millions of businesses
nodyn
  • ✓ Learns your projects from the first session
  • ✓ Your data stays in your infrastructure
  • ✓ You extend it exactly as you need
  • ✓ Open source — yours forever
  • ✓ Shaped entirely to how you work

Own your AI infrastructure.

A developer running agents across multiple projects without rebuilding context. A technical founder whose data pipelines run while they ship features. An engineer who deploys AI that actually learns their codebase. Nodyn makes this possible because it persists — and it's yours.

Developer
Multi-project agent runtime

New project: re-explain the stack. Re-configure the tools. Re-teach the patterns. Copy-paste context between ChatGPT sessions. Lose everything when the tab closes.

✓ nodyn remembers your patterns across projects. Security audit on repo A? Same checks apply to repo B automatically. Memory compounds over time.

Technical Founder
Pipelines that run without you

Manual data pulls, report generation, competitive monitoring. Every week, same steps, same tools, same context rebuilding.

✓ Define a pipeline once. nodyn runs it on schedule — pulling data, generating reports, storing results. Your context persists. Your pipelines improve.

Self-Hoster
AI that never phones home

Every hosted agent stores your data on their servers. Your prompts train their models. Your API key goes through their proxy. You have no idea what happens to your context.

✓ nodyn runs on your machine. Your memory stays in your filesystem. Your API key talks directly to Anthropic. Nothing leaves your infrastructure.

Why not use an existing framework?

There are many ways to build AI agents. Most give you pieces. Nodyn gives you the whole runtime — ready to deploy.

Tool What it does well What it can't do
ChatGPT / Claude.ai Brilliant reasoning, instant results Forgets everything. No persistent tools. No pipelines. No memory.
LangChain / LangGraph Flexible agent framework, large ecosystem A library, not a runtime. You assemble it. No built-in memory, CLI, or deployment.
CrewAI Multi-agent orchestration Prompt-chained roles. Hard to test. No persistent memory across runs.
OpenAI Agents SDK First-party, easy to start Vendor-locked to OpenAI. Hosted. Your data on their servers.
n8n / Zapier Reliable rule-based automation Can't reason. Can't adapt. Follows fixed rules, not goals.
nodyn Complete runtime: memory, pipelines, tools, CLI, MCP server. Self-hosted. Yours. Requires Node.js 22+ and an Anthropic API key.

ChatGPT / Claude.ai

Does well: Brilliant reasoning, instant results

Can't do: Forgets everything. No persistent tools. No pipelines. No memory.

LangChain / LangGraph

Does well: Flexible agent framework, large ecosystem

Can't do: A library, not a runtime. You assemble it. No built-in memory, CLI, or deployment.

CrewAI

Does well: Multi-agent orchestration

Can't do: Prompt-chained roles. Hard to test. No persistent memory across runs.

OpenAI Agents SDK

Does well: First-party, easy to start

Can't do: Vendor-locked to OpenAI. Hosted. Your data on their servers.

n8n / Zapier

Does well: Reliable rule-based automation

Can't do: Can't reason. Can't adapt. Follows fixed rules, not goals.

nodyn

Does well: Complete runtime: memory, pipelines, tools, CLI, MCP server. Self-hosted. Yours.

Can't do: Requires Node.js 22+ and an Anthropic API key.

A complete runtime.
Not a library.

Persistent Memory

Multi-scope memory with RAG. Context survives every session — across projects, clients, and scopes. Stop re-explaining. Start building.

Autonomous Pipelines

DAG-based pipeline engine. Define steps once, run on schedule or on trigger. Sequential or parallel execution.

0+ Built-in Tools

Bash, filesystem, HTTP, memory, spawn, data store, web search, Google Workspace. Extend with MCP or custom tools.

MCP Server

Built-in Model Context Protocol server — stdio and HTTP SSE transport. Connect any MCP client. Expose nodyn as infrastructure.

CLI + Telegram

Full REPL with slash commands, markdown rendering, and diff views. Telegram bot for mobile access. Same agent, same memory.

Fully Self-Hosted

Your data never leaves your machine. Deploy via npx, Docker, or docker-compose. No SaaS. No middleman. Yours permanently.

One command.
Your AI runtime — running in minutes.

npx @nodyn-ai/core

Requires Node.js ≥ 22 and an ANTHROPIC_API_KEY. A setup wizard walks you through the rest.
