Hey everyone,
I've been building local agents for a while, and I got incredibly frustrated with the infrastructure. We have all these great agent frameworks, but running them locally usually means a mess of Python scripts, and it’s actually pretty dangerous to give an autonomous agent system-level access without strict rules.
So, I built Nomos—a local desktop environment (OS) specifically designed for running, building, and distributing agents safely.
The core architecture:
- Destructive Action Guard: This is the main feature I wanted to share. Nomos intercepts execution commands at the OS level. If an agent tries to run a high-risk script or delete something, the OS physically pauses the agent and waits for a human to click approve.
- Multi-Agent Orchestration: You can drop separate local agents into a "Team" and they can delegate tasks to each other natively within the UI.
- 1-Click Agent Store: I built a marketplace so you can browse and install local agents directly without cloning repos.
I just opened early access today with a few simple example agents, and I really need people who actually understand agent architecture to test it and tell me where the guardrails fail.
I’m giving the first 10 people who test it and post their feedback 3 days of unlimited Qwen 3.5 compute to run inside the OS.
I’ll drop the download and docs links in the comments so I don't trigger any spam filters. Would love to hear your thoughts on how you currently sandbox your local agents!
