Everything you need to deploy, govern, and monitor autonomous AI agents with confidence. From quickstart to production.
What is hatiOS?
hatiOS is an enterprise-grade operating system for autonomous AI agents. It acts as a governance layer between your AI agents and LLM providers, delivering three critical capabilities:
- Agent Flight Recorder — Immutable, SHA-256 signed audit trails of every agent thought, tool call, and LLM response.
- Pause & Pivot — Real-time human-in-the-loop intervention without killing sessions.
- Policy Engine — Deterministic guardrails enforced at the proxy layer with <10ms latency.
How it works
hatiOS operates as a transparent proxy. Your agents send LLM requests through hatiOS instead of directly to providers. The proxy captures traces, evaluates policies, and enables intervention — all with minimal latency overhead.
