Features
The operational layer agents usually make you build yourself.
Apteva includes the runtime pieces production agents need: memory, tools, apps, workers, events, dashboards, and continuous autonomous operation.
The Agent Runtime
Continuous Thinking
CorePersistent agents that continue between prompts.
Not request-response. Not a one-shot script. Apteva runs a continuous loop — observe, reason, act, sleep, repeat — so agents can react to events and keep checking, planning, and connecting context across days of operation.
Multi-Agent Workers
CoreCoordinator agents delegate parallel work.
A coordinator can spawn worker agents for parallel tasks. Each worker has its own tools, pace, directive, and identity. A support agent resolves tickets while a sales agent follows up on leads — simultaneously. They communicate through message passing, not shared state.
Self-Evolving
CoreAgents improve from operational memory.
Persistent memory across restarts keeps decisions, context, and patterns available. Agents can refine their own directives as they discover better approaches. Semantic recall surfaces relevant memories based on current context. No retraining, no manual tuning.
Self-Pacing
CoreAgents control their own operating rhythm.
An agent can set its own sleep duration — 2 seconds when actively working, 5 minutes when monitoring, hours when idle. Events always wake it instantly regardless of sleep depth. Zero wasted compute when idle, instant response when needed.
Built in Go
Fast, lean, single binary.
No runtime to babysit. Boots in milliseconds. Runs anywhere Go compiles.
The whole platform — engine, server, dashboard, integrations — compiles to one Go executable. No Python runtime, no Node modules, no Docker required to run. Cold start in milliseconds, tens of MB RAM at idle. Compute scales with thinking, not framework overhead. Same binary runs on a $5 VPS, a Raspberry Pi, an industrial controller, or a cloud cluster — at native speed.
Single binary
Drop it on a server. Run it. No package manager, no virtualenv, no npm install.
Milliseconds to ready
Cold start measured in tens of ms. Restarts are invisible. Edge deploys are instant.
Tiny footprint
Tens of MB RAM at idle. Comfortable on a Pi, an industrial controller, or a tiny VPS.
Reactivity
Webhook Subscriptions
PlatformReal-time events routed to the right agent.
Subscribe to events from any connected service. Webhooks route directly to specific agents or workers — no polling, no coordinator bottleneck. A listener can sleep for hours and wake the instant a customer message arrives.
An agent alone is just a model with instructions. To act on the world, it uses apps — installable units that bring tools, channels, UI, workers, routes, and memory.

For developers
Embeddable Core
DevelopersSame thinking engine, any hardware.
The core is a standalone Go library with zero external dependencies. Import it into robots, IoT devices, industrial controllers, custom applications. Same continuous reasoning loop, same multi-threading, same tool dispatch — from cloud servers to physical machines. If Go compiles there, Apteva runs there.
