kagent is a Kubernetes native framework for building AI agents. Kubernetes is the most popular orchestration platform for running workloads, and kagent makes it easy to build, deploy and manage AI agents in kubernetes. The kagent framework is designed to be easy to understand and use, and to provide a flexible and powerful way to build and manage AI agents.
kagent runs agents on Agent Substrate, a Kubernetes-native agent runtime: each agent gets its own sandbox, is suspended when idle, and resumes in as little as 150ms. Both are CNCF Sandbox projects. The Agent Substrate calculator shows wake-up time and resource needs for your agents.
For instructions on how to run everything locally, see the DEVELOPMENT.md file.
