Build Long-Running Autonomous AI Agents with Real-World Capabilities
Give your AI the power to act autonomously. Create agents that connect to hundreds of real-world APIs and keep them running for days, weeks, or even months—all with just a few lines of code.
Sam Altman outlines five levels of AI evolution: Level 1 (basic chatbots), Level 2 (advanced reasoners like GPT-o1), Level 3 (autonomous agents), Level 4 (AI innovators capable of scientific breakthroughs), and Level 5 (AI systems that can operate entire organizations).
pica/os is building the infrastructure for Levels 3, 4, and 5, enabling ambitious teams to create autonomous agents that can handle sophisticated, ongoing operations, drive innovation, and manage complex organizational processes.
Code Example
1import { Agent } from "@picaos/agent";
2import { ticketing, email, calendar, crm } from "@picaos/actions";
3import { listConnections } from "@picaos/connections";
4
5// Connections can be managed via @picaos/authKit or the pica/os dashboard
6// pica/os takes care of OAuth and API keys for you and secures your data
7const connections = await listConnections(); // List all connections
8
9// Select the actions you want to use
10const actions = [
11 ticketing.read(), // 🤔 Read tickets from connected ticketing system like Zendesk, Jira, etc.
12 ticketing.update({ alignment: "auto" }), // đź“ť Update tickets in connected ticketing system
13 email.send({ alignment: "require-approval" }), // 📧 Send an email via connected email provider like Gmail, etc.
14 calendar.create(), // đź“… Create a calendar event via connected calendar provider like Google Calendar, etc.
15 calendar.update(), // đź“… Update a calendar event via connected calendar provider like Google Calendar, etc.
16 crm.all(), // đź“Š Read & Write to all models from connected CRM like Hubspot, Salesforce, etc.
17];
18
19// Configure the agent
20const config = {
21 name: "Customer Support Agent",
22 systemPrompt: "You are a helpful assistant that can manage customer tickets.",
23 alignment: "auto",
24 model: "gpt-4o",
25 actions,
26 connections,
27 interval: 1000 * 60 * 10, // 10 minutes
28 maxDuration: 1000 * 60 * 60 * 24 * 7, // 7 days
29};
30
31// Initialize the agent with actions
32// The agent is initialized with full access to your configured actions and connections
33// It can seamlessly interact with all authorized services and APIs
34const agent = new Agent(config);
35
36// Create tasks via code or manage them on the pica/os dashboard
37await agent.addTask("Manage all open customer tickets and follow up until resolved.");
38
39// Start the agent
40await agent.start();
41
42// Agent handles everything from creating responses to scheduling follow-ups.
43// It also triggers tasks to recheck tickets every 10 minutes to ensure continuous operation.

Why We Need pica/os?
Build Level 3-5 AI systems that can autonomously operate, innovate, and transform entire organizations
Beyond Basic AI
While most solutions stop at Level 1 or 2 AI (basic chatbots and reasoning systems), pica/os empowers you to build Level 3-5 autonomous agents that can handle complex, ongoing operations and transform how organizations work.
Continuous Operation
Create agents that operate autonomously for days, weeks, or months—managing workflows, driving innovation, and handling sophisticated organizational processes. This isn't just automation; it's true operational autonomy.
Future-Ready Platform
Build on the infrastructure designed for the next evolution of AI. Whether you're creating autonomous agents, developing AI innovators for breakthroughs, or building systems to manage entire organizations, pica/os provides the foundation you need.

pica/os: The Complete Agent Platform
Create, Deploy, Manage—Effortlessly
pica/os is not just a tool—it's a full platform for creating, deploying, and managing autonomous agents. It handles everything: from the servers required to run agents, to managing events, tasks, and human alignment. pica/os even includes an approval system to ensure that your agents operate according to your standards. Whether you're deploying one agent or a million, pica/os has the infrastructure you need to make it happen effortlessly, empowering agents to perform hundreds to millions of tasks without missing a beat.
High-Performance, Memory-Safe Core
Our agent runtime is built in Rust, delivering exceptional performance, memory safety, and reliability. Handle concurrent agent operations with zero-cost abstractions and guaranteed thread safety.
Blazing Fast
Native performance with minimal overhead for agent operations
Memory Safe
Zero memory leaks or data races, guaranteed at compile time
Highly Concurrent
Efficient handling of multiple agents and operations
Getting started
Get started with building agents in minutes, not weeks
1. Install & Authenticate
Add @picaos/tools to your project and set up authentication
2. Configure Actions
Select and configure the actions your agent needs access to
3. Initialize Agent
Create and configure your agent with the selected actions
4. Start Working
Add tasks and let your agent handle everything automatically
Example: A customer support agent that loads all open tickets and works through them, continuously resolving issues over days or even weeks. Or an assistant agent that calls 10 restaurants, finds the best one, makes a reservation, and updates your calendar. These agents can run persistently in the background, automatically triggering follow-up tasks like rechecking every 10 minutes, ensuring long-term operations and handling complex workflows without missing anything.
