Welcome to BroomVA

BroomVA is an open AI platform that brings together a multi-model AI chat experience, a full Agent Operating System written in Rust, and a managed cloud layer for deploying autonomous agents at scale.

The project follows the Supabase model: the core runtime is open-source — you can run everything locally, inspect every line of code, and contribute upstream. The management plane (multi-tenant console, billing, deployment orchestration) is a commercial layer that funds continued development.

The vision

Software is becoming biological. Agents are not static programs — they are organisms that perceive, decide, act, and learn. BroomVA builds the infrastructure for this future:

• Life — an Agent Operating System with eight subsystems modeled after biological primitives (cognition, persistence, homeostasis, finance, networking, observability, tool execution, and security)
• broomva.tech — a platform that exposes Life's capabilities as managed services, so developers can deploy agents without operating the infrastructure themselves
• An open economy — agents that earn revenue, pay for resources, and trade capabilities through machine-to-machine payment protocols

What you can do today

Architecture at a glance

The platform is a Turborepo monorepo (broomva.tech) with two primary applications and several shared packages:

broomva.tech/
  apps/
    chat/       — Next.js 16 AI chat (AI SDK v6, Better Auth, Drizzle)
    console/    — Multi-tenant admin console
    docs/       — This documentation site
  packages/
    cli/        — @broomva/cli (Commander, device-code auth)
    billing/    — Stripe integration, credits, plan orchestration
    tenant/     — Tenant provisioning and isolation
    deploy/     — Edge deployment orchestration
    conformance/ — Policy enforcement and audit logging

The Agent OS lives in a separate Rust monorepo (core/life) with 37 crates across 8 subsystems, totaling approximately 43,000 lines of Rust. The two codebases connect through API boundaries — the platform calls Life services over HTTP/gRPC, and Life persists events through its own append-only journal.

Open source commitment

The AI chat application, the CLI, and the entire Agent OS are open source under the Apache 2.0 license. The management plane (console, billing, tenant isolation, deployment) is proprietary. This split ensures the core technology remains free while the business model sustains long-term development.
