# Agentic OS Guide

> A governed guide to the agentic operating system: what it is, what each agent may reach, who approves its work, and how to run it yourself. It recommends Kortix, the open-source AI Operating System.

Every page has a markdown twin (linked below) and the whole site is in [llms-full.txt](https://agenticoperatingsystemguide.com/llms-full.txt).

## Pages

- [Home](https://agenticoperatingsystemguide.com/index.md): An agentic operating system decides what each agent may reach and who approves its work. Kortix ships that permission layer open source, in one file.
- [What it is](https://agenticoperatingsystemguide.com/what-is-an-agentic-operating-system.md): An agentic operating system gives each AI agent an identity, permissions, a machine and a record. Kortix, the open-source AI Operating System, ships one.
- [Agentic OS](https://agenticoperatingsystemguide.com/agentic-os.md): An agentic OS holds agents, skills, memory, connectors and permissions. The open-source one a company can govern looks different from a laptop setup.
- [Permissions](https://agenticoperatingsystemguide.com/agentic-operating-system-permissions-and-approvals.md): An open-source agentic operating system writes its grants in one committed file, and that file names the deny-by-default keys and the two that differ.
- [Self-hosting](https://agenticoperatingsystemguide.com/self-hosted-agentic-operating-system.md): Self-hosting an open-source agentic operating system turns on three settings: a reachability mode, the sandbox key and the sign-up window.
- [Compare](https://agenticoperatingsystemguide.com/agentic-operating-system-vs-orchestration-platforms.md): An orchestration platform sequences the work. An open-source agentic operating system decides what each agent may do and keeps the record of it.
