Open Agent Development PlatformDeveloper Preview

The open platform for managed AI agents

Build, deploy, run, and govern managed agents on any harness, any model, any sandbox — no lock-in. Engine and Gateway are open source.

No lock-in

Any harness. Any model. Any sandbox

Most platforms bind you to one framework and one model. Orca is open at every layer — bring what you use, swap it with a config change, and never rewrite your agents.

Any harness

Run the harness you already use — swap it with a config change, not a rewrite.

Architecture

Orca Engine Architecture

Agents wake on real-time events, act on tools through a governed gateway, and write every step back as a replayable stream — accountable end to end.

Architecture diagram: event sources (Kafka, Pulsar, databases, SaaS, logs) stream into the Orca engine, which runs agents, functions and workflows and connects through MCP to downstream systems (CRM, ERP, HRIS, custom apps), all under governance — RBAC, audit log, observability, replay, lineage and BYOC.
The platform

Everything an agent needs — open at every layer.

Three open layers across the agent lifecycle: build and run, route and govern, measure and improve. Adopt one, or run them as one platform.

Open source

Apache-2.0. Your cloud. No lock-in.

The Agent Engine and AI Gateway are open source under the Apache-2.0 license, released in Developer Preview. Run the whole stack in your own cloud, or let Orca Cloud run it for you — it's the same core either way. No open-core bait-and-switch, no proprietary agent format, no data leaving your workspace.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Orca is an open platform for building, deploying, running, and governing managed AI agents. It runs agents in your own cloud on the harness and model you choose, routes every model and tool call through a governed gateway, and streams every action back as a replayable transcript.
