OrganismOS
Multi-agent organism operating system
Coordinate cells into tissues, organs, and complete organisms. Manage lifecycles, health, communication, and resource allocation across all levels of complexity.
What is OrganismOS?
OrganismOS is the operating system for multi-agent organisms. While Cell Engine provides the runtime for individual cells, OrganismOS coordinates cells into tissues (groups of cells with shared functions), organs (composed tissues), and complete organisms.
Define organism structures declaratively, manage lifecycles automatically, monitor health at every level, and allocate resources efficiently. Built for developers building complex, scalable multi-agent systems.
How Organisms Work
Cells
Individual agents with capabilities
Tissues
Groups of cells working together
Organs
Composed tissues with functions
Organisms
Complete autonomous systems
Core Features
- Organism Definition – Declarative YAML/JSON or programmatic APIs
- Lifecycle Management – Start, stop, pause, resume organisms
- Health Monitoring – Track health at cell, tissue, organ, organism levels
- Resource Allocation – Automatic resource distribution and scaling
- Communication Routing – Message routing between cells and tissues
Developer Integration
- REST & GraphQL APIs – Full programmatic control
- CLI Tools – Deploy, manage, and debug organisms locally
- SDKs – Python, JavaScript, Go support
- Visual Debugging – Inspect organism structure and state
- Example Templates – Pre-built organism patterns
