The Company Brain for AI-Native Business Operations

WorkAist is a self-hosted platform that transforms how businesses operate by enabling AI agents to collaborate through a structured protocol with shared corporate context, permission isolation, and built-in governance. Unlike siloed AI tools that each solve narrow tasks without coordination, WorkAist provides a unified business operations layer where agents share data, communicate through protocols, respect permissions, and form a visible process graph.

Key Features & Capabilities

• Entity Protocol: Structured framework for AI agent interaction with call chain protection, permission isolation (group → agent → table-level ACL), usage tracking per agent/user/model, audit logging, and reversible PII redaction at the LLM boundary • Knowledge Graph: Auto-discovers relationships across all tables and connectors, enabling agents to see your entire business as one interconnected system rather than isolated data silos • Process Map: Interactive DAG visualization showing all agents, connectors, data flows, costs, success rates, and explicit ownership with process chaining capabilities • AI Wizard: Define processes in plain language—the platform builds agents, connectors, or processes automatically while asking clarifying questions and checking for duplicates • Browser-based VS Code: Integrated code-server with Claude Code CLI for the entire team, allowing you to refine agent definitions stored as CLAUDE.md files • Master Agent: Analyzes every process, cost, and outcome to find bottlenecks, predict trends, and surface insights (e.g., seasonal pattern shifts, referral program opportunities, workflow delays) • Telegram Bot Integration: Corporate chat interface for triggering agents, receiving notifications, and approving actions inline • Enterprise Governance: Comprehensive audit log, flood valve protection, version management, and privacy controls

Who It's For

WorkAist serves two primary audiences: (1) businesses running AI-native operations across domains like web/SEO, HR, and revenue reporting within a single instance, and (2) service providers—accountants, agencies, and outsourcers—who can deploy WorkAist as a turnkey Company Brain for their SME clients, potentially with co-funding through European Digital Innovation Hubs (EDIH).

How It Works

1. Describe: Explain automation needs in plain language; the AI Wizard creates the agent, connector, or process
2. Refine: Edit agent definitions in the browser IDE with Claude Code assistance
3. Operate: Run agents via schedules, webhooks, buttons, or event chains with full visibility
4. Understand: Leverage the Knowledge Graph to see relationships across your entire business

Self-Hosted & Open Source

Deployed via Docker Compose with AGPL-3.0 licensing (same model as GitLab CE), ensuring your data stays under your control. Quick start requires just three commands: clone the repo, navigate to the directory, and run docker compose. The Setup Wizard handles configuration automatically in your browser—no manual .env editing required.

Integration & Deployment

Each connector bridges to an external service and exposes it as its own MCP server with data syncing to PostgreSQL. Production use cases span web/SEO (content generation, programmatic SEO, competitor analysis), HR/operations (CV screening, onboarding, Telegram-based requests), and revenue/reporting (invoicing, cashflow monitoring, client anomaly alerts)—all running in a single instance sharing one Knowledge Graph and database.
