AI agents
What it does
One Rust binary that runs your own agent continuously, with sandboxing and security posture as the stated design centre rather than an afterthought, across multiple model providers. Security framing does not remove the work: whatever capabilities you grant are fully exercisable, so the grant list is where the safety actually lives, and an always-on agent needs a spend ceiling. Infrastructure for people who build, not a finished assistant. MIT.

moltis FAQ
- Is moltis free?
- moltis itself is free, but it needs an API key for an external AI service. That service charges separately, though some have a free tier.
- Do I need to install anything or write code to use moltis?
- It needs the command line. If you are not comfortable typing commands, expect to get stuck during setup.
- Does moltis work on a phone?
- No. It needs a computer.
- Can I use moltis commercially?
- The licence is MIT, which permits commercial use. Conditions such as keeping the copyright notice still apply, so read the licence text before shipping it inside something.
