Orientation: Build Enterprise-Grade AI into Your Product
What is Aegis?
Aegis helps engineering teams move from proof-of-concept LLM prototypes to robust, production-ready AI systems. It provides modular microservices for building, running, evaluating, and scaling intelligent agents — all while staying fully under your control.
From internal automation to AI-powered product features, Aegis offers the flexibility to start small and grow into a complete platform.
Who is Aegis for?
Aegis is built for engineering teams who want to:
- Quickly prototype intelligent agents with tools and structured outputs
- Expose those agents behind secure API endpoints
- Gradually adopt enterprise-grade features like access control, retrieval, orchestration, and evaluation
- Maintain full visibility and control over infrastructure, logic, and costs
Aegis is not a no-code chatbot builder — it’s a stack for engineering-led AI integration into real-world products.
Two Parts, One Stack
Agent Core
Prototype fast. Deploy instantly.
- Register agents with tools, prompts, and structured outputs
- Hit secure API endpoints to run agents in minutes
- Extend with tool chaining, output schemas, and batch execution
Enterprise Modules
Add production-grade infrastructure when you’re ready.
- Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)
- Graph-based agent orchestration
- Structured evaluation pipelines
- Authenticated, rate-limited gateway
- Cost tracking, usage limits, and API key management
Why Aegis Is Different
Aegis isn’t just a toolkit — it’s a set of opinionated design choices built for real-world AI operations:
-
Modular Microservices Deploy only what you need. Scale independently.
-
Config-Driven Agents Agents, tools, and teams are serialized as config — not locked in code. This enables versioning, GitOps deployment, and declarative orchestration. → Learn more about structured agents and config-driven teams
-
Evaluation-Native Score, trace, and monitor agent activity with built-in feedback loops. → Learn more about evaluation and observability
-
Structured Semantic RAG for Agents Retrieve from a structured, access-controlled document graph using semantic links and chunk-level filters. → Learn more about structured semantic RAG
-
Not a Black Box You control the prompts, execution, and outputs — with validation built in.
-
Multi-Tenant from Day One Visibility, access, rate limits, and budgets per tenant/user/team.
-
Observability Built In Logs, traces, metrics, and replay tooling included out of the box.
Who is this documentation for?
There are three types of users who come to this site — follow the path that fits your role:
1. CTOs and Technical Decision Makers
Want to understand the architecture, risks, and tradeoffs in bringing AI into their product stack.
➡️ Start with the Agent Handbook
2. Engineers Prototyping AI Features
Need to register an agent and call it behind an API quickly — then iterate with tools and outputs.
➡️ Start with the Agent Quickstart
3. Engineers Preparing for Production
Have validated their use case and want to bring up the full stack: access control, RAG, orchestration, evaluation, and more.
➡️ Start with the Production Deployment Guide
