Atom Agent, Open-Source Governed AI Agent Platform for Self-Hosted Automation
Atom is an open-source, self-hosted AI agent workforce platform that enables teams to deploy governed autonomous agents for business automation. The platform features specialty agents for sales, support, finance, and engineering that operate within a four-tier maturity model (Student→Intern→Supervised→Autonomous), earning autonomy through verified outcomes rather than self-reported success. Agents execute workflows across 46+ business integrations including Salesforce, HubSpot, Slack, QuickBooks, and Jira, with built-in governance including human-in-the-loop approval gates, outcome verification via postcondition oracles, and comprehensive audit trails. Users describe desired workflows in natural language, and Atom's agents build, execute, and monitor the automation while remaining fully self-hosted with private data and BYOK for LLM inference.

atom — FAQ
What is the Atom platform?+
Atom is a self-hosted AI agent workforce platform that deploys governed autonomous agents for business automation. Agents operate within a maturity model, earning autonomy through verified outcomes across 46+ business integrations while maintaining human oversight through approval gates and audit trails.
How do I install and run Atom?+
Clone the repository, run 'make setup' to bootstrap the development environment, then 'make backend' and 'make frontend' in separate terminals. The platform runs locally with the backend on port 8001 and the Next.js UI on port 3001, requiring no cloud services.
Do I need API keys to use Atom?+
You need at least one LLM provider API key (OpenAI, Anthropic, DeepSeek, etc.) configured in backend/.env or added via the Settings UI. Alternatively, set ATOM_LOCAL_ONLY=true and configure Ollama for fully private deployments without external API dependencies.
Is Atom free to use?+
Yes, Atom is fully open source under AGPL v3 with all features available in the free edition. There are no feature gates or tier restrictions; commercial/managed editions run the same codebase on client infrastructure.
Which business integrations does Atom support?+
Atom natively integrates with 46+ platforms including Salesforce, HubSpot, Slack, Microsoft Teams, Gmail, Notion, Jira, Linear, Stripe, QuickBooks, Shopify, GitHub, GitLab, and Zoom. Agents can also connect to external MCP servers for additional capabilities.
How does Atom ensure agent actions are safe?+
Atom enforces a default-on sandbox with filesystem scope, tool whitelists, and resource caps, plus a postcondition oracle that independently verifies every mutating action against the system of record. Agents advance through maturity tiers only after verified successful runs, and autonomy is automatically revoked on regression.
