ElizaOS: Distributed Agent Operating System for AI-First Applications
ElizaOS is a modular, open-source operating system designed to orchestrate large language model (LLM)-driven agents across multiple communication platforms. Itβs built to support real operational workflows, not just conversation, enabling dynamic AI-first businesses or communities.
π Unified Message Bus
One event pipeline for every interface β Discord, Telegram, X, HTTP or onchain.
ElizaOS centralizes input and output from multiple platforms into a single event stream. This allows agents to be developed independently of the transport layer. Developers can:
- Write the business logic once
- Swap out communication interfaces like Discord, Telegram, or Webhooks without refactoring
- Maintain clean separation between logic and messaging infrastructure
π§ Composable Swarms
Worlds (servers/workspaces) and Rooms (channels/DMs) provide scoped context to agents, enabling them to collaborate or delegate.
ElizaOS uses the abstraction of Worlds
and Rooms
to give agents contextual awareness. Key capabilities include:
- Delegation: Agents can pass tasks to others
- Consensus: Agents can vote or coordinate decisions
- Load-balancing: Tasks can be distributed dynamically across agents
βοΈ Strategic Action Chaining
LLM-driven tool use powers multi-step workflows, decision branches, user pauses, and real-world action execution.
Beyond conversation, ElizaOS lets agents plan and execute workflows through:
- Branching logic β Conditional execution paths
- Scheduled actions β Delayed or timed operations
- Parallel tasks β Simultaneous execution of multiple steps
- User waits β Pause for manual confirmation or input
π Modular Open-Source Architecture
All features are pluggable via npm packages β models, vector stores, APIs, tools, and UIs.
ElizaOS uses a clean plugin architecture:
- Use any LLM provider (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic, local models)
- Connect to any vector database, API, or tool
- Hot-swap modules at runtime
- Avoid vendor lock-in while keeping the core system lightweight
π Summary
ElizaOS offers a powerful foundation for building autonomous AI agents that:
Whether youβre running a decentralized community, automating customer operations, or launching a network of co-pilot agents, ElizaOS provides the infrastructure to make it real.
