What makes it different
Turnkey engineering for complex simulations without building the loop from scratch
Zero recurring platform subscriptions with direct software licensing
No lock overhead persistence with WAL-mode SQLite for concurrent reads
Local LLM execution without incurring API costs in mock mode
Royalty-free commercial distribution rights with Commercial License
AI agents handle routine work, so people focus only on decisions requiring judgment
Built as a company workspace, not just a chat window
Open source core available free to self-host
