Agent-Native

Agentic applications you own.

Agent-native is an open source framework for building full-featured apps with agentic capabilities integrated from the ground up.

SaaS products charge you for rigid software you can't change. Agent-native gives you the code — you own it, you customize it, you evolve it with AI.

Agents and UIs — Fully Connected

The agent and the UI are equal citizens of the same system. Every action works both ways — click it or ask for it.

• The agent sees everything — It can read and update any UI, any data, any state in the application.
• The UI talks to the agent — Buttons, forms, and workflows push structured content to the agent, giving you guided flows that all go through the agent — including skills, rules, and instructions.
• The agent updates its own code — It can modify the app itself to change features and functionality. Your tools get better over time.
• Everything works both ways — Every action available in the UI is also available to the agent. You can click to do something, or ask the agent to do it.

Templates

Start from a production-ready template. Each one replaces tools you're paying for — except you own everything and can customize it however you want.

Mail

AI-Native Mail, Superhuman

Superhuman-style email client with keyboard shortcuts, AI triage, and a fully customizable inbox you own.

Calendar

AI-Native Google Calendar, Calendly

Manage events, sync with Google Calendar, and share a public booking page with AI scheduling.

Content

AI-Native Notion, Google Docs

Write and organize content with an agent that knows your brand and publishing workflow.

Slides

AI-Native Google Slides, Pitch

Generate and edit React-based presentations via prompt or point-and-click.

Video

AI-Native video editing

Create and edit Remotion video compositions with agent assistance.

Analytics

AI-Native Amplitude, Mixpanel

Connect any data source, prompt for any chart. Build reusable dashboards, not throwaway Q&A.

Every template is forkable, open source, and designed to be customized. Try them with example data before connecting your own sources.

Quick Start

npx @agent-native/core create my-app
cd my-app
pnpm install
pnpm dev

Or launch a template — no setup required.

The Best of Both Worlds

| | SaaS Tools | Raw AI Agents | Internal Tools | Agent-Native | | -------------------- | ------------------ | ----------------------- | ---------------- | ----------------------- | | UI | Polished but rigid | None | Months to build | Full UI, fork & go | | AI | Bolted on | Powerful, no guardrails | Disconnected | Agent-first, integrated | | Customization | Can't | Prompt-only | Full but slow | Agent modifies the app | | Ownership | Rented | N/A | Yours but costly | You own the code | | Non-dev friendly | Yes | No | Rarely | Guided UI + agent |

Architecture

Agent-native is designed to be agnostic at every layer — use the defaults or swap in your own.

| Layer | Default | Swappable? | | ------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Server | Nitro (H3) | Deploy anywhere Nitro supports (Node, Cloudflare, Vercel, Netlify, Deno, Bun) | | Auth | Token-based (zero-config) | Plug in Auth.js, Clerk, Lucia, or any auth system via getSession() contract | | Database | Files (data/ directory) | Add Drizzle, Prisma, or any ORM when you need a real DB | | Frontend | React + React Router + Tailwind | Modify or replace — it's your code | | Agent | Works with any CLI-based agent (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, etc.) | Agent-agnostic by design | | Hosting | Any (Netlify, Vercel, Cloudflare, self-hosted) | Nitro's preset system handles deployment targets |

Auth: Zero to Production

Auth is invisible in development and automatic in production. No code changes required.

# Development — no auth, no config
pnpm dev

# Production — set one env var, auth activates
ACCESS_TOKEN=your-secret pnpm start

See docs/auth.md for the full auth guide, including multi-token team access and bring-your-own-auth.
