Choose the operating model

Configure the team’s agents, knowledge and tools, set approval policies and budgets, and inspect runs. Self-hosting also means your team owns deployment and maintenance.

The software is Apache-2.0. Your team still owns hosting, model usage, updates and the policies it configures. Self-hosting alone does not mean zero outbound data.

Before changing your setup

Treat migration as a small manual experiment: recreate permitted instructions, reconnect tools and verify a read and a rejected write. No automatic importer, transferred login session or direct interoperability is promised.
