FoundersOS
FoundersOS is an open-source framework that gives AI agents a deep understanding of a company's operations, knowledge, and context. It acts as an operating system for founders by connecting various data sources—such as documentation, APIs, code repositories, and internal tools—and exposing them through a standardized interface that AI agents can query. This enables developers to build assistants that can answer questions, automate workflows, and perform tasks based on real-time company information. FoundersOS leverages the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to ensure seamless integration with AI models and tools, making it a plug-and-play solution for equipping agents with company-specific intelligence. By unifying siloed data into a single context layer, FoundersOS eliminates the need for manual feeding of business knowledge to AI systems, accelerating the development of internal AI applications. The project is designed to be self-hosted, giving companies full control over their data and customization, and is distributed under a permissive open-source license.

Problem solved
Businesses often struggle to make AI agents truly useful because agents lack context about the company's unique processes, documents, and tools. FoundersOS solves this by providing a dedicated layer that ingests, structures, and serves company-specific information to AI agents, turning generic assistants into knowledgeable company-specific helpers.
