// how it works

How it works

  1. Model your work as a repo

    Decide which agents, skills and connectors your team needs - the project will hold them as files.

  2. Get the Kortix CLI

    Install the CLI with the official install command.

  3. Scaffold and configure

    Run kortix init to create kortix.yaml plus your agents, skills and runtime config.

  4. Ship your first agent

    Run kortix ship to push the repo and bring the stack live, then review the agent's change requests.

// features

Why people love it

One repo per company

Agents, skills, memory, connectors and triggers live as versioned files reviewed like code.

Isolated session sandboxes

Every session gets an isolated cloud computer on a branch named after the session; work returns as change requests.

Thousands of parallel agents

One config can run many agents in parallel across the team.

Enterprise-ready security

Per-resource permissions, roles and groups, an audit trail, SAML 2.0 SSO and SCIM 2.0; secrets encrypted at rest per project.

Self-hostable

Run the same stack on your own box with one Docker Compose command, or use Kortix Cloud.

Cowork-style use cases

The README shows team coworking, Slack/Teams agents, background coding agents and Zapier-style automations.

// run it

Run it yourself

  1. Clone the repository

    Get the source code from GitHub and enter the project directory.

    git clone https://github.com/kortix-ai/suna.git
    cd suna
  2. Install the CLI and scaffold

    The README quickstart installs the CLI and scaffolds a project with kortix.yaml.

    kortix init # after installing the CLI per the README quickstart
  3. Ship it - or self-host

    Ship to Kortix Cloud, or start the self-hosted Docker Compose stack on your own machine.

    kortix ship
    # self-host instead: kortix self-host start

Questions, answered

Who maintains this project?

It is maintained by Kortix AI (kortix-ai) on GitHub; the project was previously known as Suna.

Is it free to use?

The project is open source (check the LICENSE file in the repo for exact terms; GitHub lists it as NOASSERTION). Kortix Cloud hosting is a separate managed service.

Does it need a paid API key?

You connect your own model and integration credentials during setup; agent runs consume your providers' usage.

How does it compare to alternatives?

Compared with single-agent frameworks, Kortix is an organizational layer - many agents, shared memory and governance as a git repo - closer to an AI OS than a library.

How do I get started?

Install the CLI, run kortix init in a new repo, then kortix ship (or kortix self-host start) and open your first session.
