The runtime your AI agents deserve
Alius is purpose-built for running AI agents in production. Every feature is designed to make agents more reliable, observable, and controllable.
Install Anywhere

brew install alius Session · Run · Trace
The three-level execution model is the backbone of Alius. Sessions provide persistent context, Runs execute structured plans, and Traces record every detail.
- Stateful session management with context persistence
- Structured plan execution with step-level tracking
- Complete audit trail for every agent action
Pluggable by Design
Protocol interfaces decouple your agent logic from specific providers. Swap LLM providers, tool backends, or memory systems without changing your agent code.
- Provider-agnostic LLM integration
- Extensible tool and capability system
- Custom protocol implementation support
Shell Gate
Not every action should run autonomously. Shell Gate is the human-in-the-loop security layer that requires explicit approval for sensitive operations like shell commands, file writes, and network requests.
- Granular permission controls per operation type
- Auto-approve rules for trusted operations
- Full audit log of all approvals and denials
Agents That Remember
Alius agents persist knowledge across sessions through a three-tier memory system: Context (working memory), Episodic (experience memory), and Semantic (factual memory).
- Context: short-term working memory per session
- Episodic: learned experiences from past runs
- Semantic: extracted facts and knowledge base
