A NOTE FROM THE FOUNDERS

Why we started RunLoop

In 2024 we were running a small AI product and writing duct-tape Python every day to coordinate the agents that ran it. Cron files, Notion docs, Slack channels named "agent-status-please-read." It worked until it didn't.
We wanted something that treated agents as first-class engineering primitives — like how Kubernetes treats containers, or how Vercel treats deploys. Something boring, reliable, and open. We couldn't find it, so we built it.
RunLoop is what we wished we'd had. We open-sourced it because the next generation of AI products will be built by teams much smaller than ours, and they shouldn't have to write the same duct tape we did.
What drives us is simple: we want to be the infrastructure team you'd trust if your entire product depended on it. Because for our users, it does.
We believe great agent products are useless without reliability, and great reliability is impossible without transparency. RunLoop was built to do both. We're not interested in handing you a black-box runtime that breaks in production. We're here to ship code you can read, audit, and own. That's our work. That's our standard.

Timeline

Our Journey So Far

From late-night side project to open-source infrastructure trusted by 1,200+ teams — here's how RunLoop evolved, one release at a time
2022
The Spark
Born from a frustration with duct-tape Python and cron files, the first prototype was a weekend project to coordinate three agents running customer support for an early-stage AI tool. It worked just well enough to keep building.
2023
First Commit, First Users
We open-sourced the runtime on GitHub with a single goal — make agent infrastructure feel as boring as deploying a container. The repo hit 1,000 stars in the first month and our first 50 production users showed up unannounced.
2024
Cloud, Funded, and Hiring
We launched Cloud Pro for teams who didn't want to self-host, raised our seed round, and grew the core team from two co-founders to eight engineers and designers. The community crossed 5,000 GitHub stars.
2025
Production-Grade
We shipped governance, audit logs, and enterprise-ready compliance features. Our first Fortune 500 customers signed annual contracts. 142 community contributors started shipping core features alongside the team.
2026
The Runtime Layer
12,400+ stars. 1,200+ companies running in production. 8.4M+ agent-hours run. AgentAI is now the infrastructure layer for the next generation of autonomous software — and we're just getting started.
Our Values

Our Journey So Far

From late-night side project to open-source infrastructure trusted by 1,200+ teams — here's how RunLoop evolved, one release at a time
Open Source Core
Self-hosted, MIT licensed, no vendor lock-in. Fork it, audit it, run it on your own infrastructure forever
Predictable Costs
Hard budget caps and soft warnings keep agents on a leash. No more $4,000 overnight bills from runaway loops
Full Observability
Every prompt, tool call, and decision logged. Replay any session, debug any failure, audit any run
Bring Your Own Model
Works with OpenAI, Anthropic, local models, custom endpoints. Switch providers without rewriting a single agent
Builder-First
Every decision goes through one filter: does this make a builder's life better? If not, it ships later or never. The cost: slower revenue-driven features.
