About us

We're on a mission to make building AI agents effortless

We give developers and teams the runtime, tools, and patterns to ship agents that feel delightful — with unrivalled speed and control.

What we keep

Principles we keep coming back to

These are the defaults we come back to when trade-offs get hard — the reasons Zapvol stays inspectable, typed, and yours to run.

Read the architecture
  1. 01

    No black boxes

    inspectable open-source traceable

    The ReAct loop, compaction tiers, and every tool call are yours to read. If you can't inspect it, you can't trust it.

  2. 02

    Primitives over wrappers

    composable minimal no-magic

    Small, typed building blocks beat opinionated abstractions. The runtime should get out of your way — not wrap someone else's SDK.

  3. 03

    Typed end-to-end

    strict TS zod no any

    Strict TypeScript, Zod at every boundary, zero `any`. If the compiler can prove it, tests and docs stay honest.

  4. 04

    Your agent, your infra

    local-first self-hostable MIT

    Run in the browser, on your desktop, or on your own servers — same codebase. We don't gate features behind a cloud.

Get involved

Help shape what Zapvol becomes

Three ways to move the project forward — pick the one that fits the time and energy you have right now.

Give feedback

A sharp issue with a repro beats a silent star — it's how roadmap priorities actually move.

Docs gaps, API ergonomics, missing tools — if it got in your way, we want to hear about it.

Open an issue

Contribute code

Zapvol is built in the open, in a pnpm + Turborepo monorepo. Every layer is documented — jump into any of:

  • New tools — add a first-party agent tool or MCP integration.
  • New platforms — port the shared packages to a new runtime.
  • Docs & guides — improve architecture notes or translate pages.
  • Bug fixes — small PRs land fast.

Sponsor the project

If Zapvol powers something you ship, consider sponsoring through GitHub Sponsors. It funds focused time on the runtime, the docs site, and community support.

Sponsors are credited in the README, and commercial sponsors get a logo slot on the home page.
