About Yao
Yao Agents is a self hosted platform for creating, running and sharing AI agents across all of the computers a person owns. Each workspace is isolated, work is tracked on a task board, and the board can be reached from desktop, mobile, browser or an API. A user describes what they need in conversation and it becomes a task. Continued use is meant to refine the result into an agent built for that kind of work.
The platform is aimed at individuals and small teams who want agents running on their own machines rather than in a hosted service. Remote computers are registered as nodes through a component called Tai Link, so tasks can run concurrently on a Mac, a Linux box, a GPU machine or a NAS. Yao Engine is the runtime, shipped as a single binary, with desktop builds for macOS and Windows and a command line build for Linux servers. Client apps are offered for macOS, Windows and Android. Agents can be connected to other applications through standard APIs with SSE and WebSocket support, or shared with other people.
The site publishes no pricing page, and downloads are linked publicly. The vendor also announced Tao, a service that offers one key for many models and services.
