What Culvii is

Culvii is an enterprise SDK for building, deploying, and governing AI agents and workflows.

You write your agents and workflows in TypeScript using Culvii Kit, our SDK. You ship them to Culvii's cloud using Culvii CLI. You — or the operators on your team — manage them at runtime through Culvii Console.

The bet​

The agent frameworks shipping today are optimized for building agents fast. Almost none of them are optimized for running agents responsibly inside an enterprise. Audit trails, identity-per-agent, policy enforcement, and human-in-the-loop are bolted on after the fact — the framework you started with is rarely the framework you operate in production.

Culvii treats those things as primitives: first-class concepts you compose with, not adapters you wire up around the edges. That shapes everything else about the product.

We have opinions​

Culvii is opinionated. We pick defaults that make governance and observability work out of the box, and we provide explicit escape hatches when you need different behavior. We do this on purpose — enterprises pay for opinionated defaults with escape hatches, not for maximum framework neutrality.

If you want a tool that takes no positions and lets you build any agent shape, Culvii is not the right kit. If you want production-ready agents an operator can govern from day one, you're in the right place.

Two audiences​

Culvii is built for two distinct readers:

  • Developers write agents, tools, and workflows using the SDK. Get Started, Concepts, SDK reference, CLI reference, and How-to guides are for you.
  • Operators govern those agents and workflows at runtime through the Console. The Operator's Guide is your home.

These audiences overlap — a small team will have one person wearing both hats. A larger team usually doesn't. The docs are organized so you can read just what you need.

What's in this version​

These docs describe Culvii v1.0 — the first public release.

The primitives covered as stable in the SDK reference are the ones that ship in this release: agent, model, tool, and workflow. Other primitives — memory, retrieval, governance APIs, optimization, and the rest — are designed and on the roadmap; they are not in this release. Where it matters, we say so.
