Craft Agents

Craft Agents: The Open-Source Agent Interface

Overview

Craft Agents is a powerful, open-source interface designed to streamline your interaction with AI agents. It provides a user-friendly experience for leveraging advanced AI models like Claude, ChatGPT, and local models, while offering flexible integration options via Browser, API, MCP server, or local filesystem. This tool is built on the principle of "Agent Native Architecture," where the agent is the foundation, allowing for adaptable and evolving software.

Key Features

• Broad Model Compatibility: Works with Claude, ChatGPT, OpenRouter, local models (Ollama, LM Studio), and supports numerous providers through gateways like Vercel AI SDK.
• Versatile Connectivity: Connects to various sources including REST APIs, MCP servers, local filesystems, and even directly to services like Linear, Gmail, and Slack through natural language commands.
• Built-in Browser: Features a full Chromium browser for navigating websites, filling forms, extracting data, and taking screenshots, all controlled via natural language.
• Agent Native Architecture: Emphasizes specification over implementation, allowing users to describe desired outcomes rather than coding them.
• Seamless Multitasking: Organize, prioritize, and switch between agent conversations and tasks without losing context, similar to managing emails.
• Customization and Extensibility: Allows users to create custom skills, themes, and behaviors, making the agent truly their own.
• Secure and Private: Supports local models for offline use and offers fine-grained permissions for data access.
• Collaboration: Share agent conversations, decisions, and logic with team members, attaching them to tickets or PRs for full context.

Use Cases

• Workflow Automation: Automate complex tasks by chaining agent actions through various connected services.
• Development Assistance: Integrate with code repositories, documentation, and local development environments for coding and debugging.
• Data Extraction and Analysis: Utilize the built-in browser to scrape data from websites and process it using AI models.
• Content Creation: Draft content, research topics, and refine ideas with AI assistance.
• Team Collaboration: Share AI-driven insights and decision-making processes across teams.

FAQ

How do I connect new services like Slack or Linear?

Simply instruct the agent using natural language, e.g., "add Linear as a source." The agent will automatically find APIs, read documentation, and handle credential setup.

Can I use my own AI models?

Yes, Craft Agents supports bringing your own models. You can connect via API keys for services like Anthropic or OpenAI, or run local models using Ollama or LM Studio.

Does it support private or internal APIs?

Absolutely. Craft Agents can connect to private APIs, internal company data, and custom services without requiring an MCP.

What if a service doesn't have an API?

The agent can open its built-in browser to interact directly with the website, fill forms, and perform actions as if a human were using it.

How are agent conversations managed?

Conversations are organized like emails, allowing for easy multitasking. You can switch between tasks, pause one, and resume exactly where you left off, with full session history preserved.

Can I customize the agent's behavior?

Yes, Craft Agents is highly customizable. You can create your own skills, modify themes, and adjust behaviors through editable files, making the agent adapt to your specific workflow.
