An iceberg: a small tip above the water and a much larger body below, in five layers

What you see is a chat.What makes it work is the harness.

Kylon is a company harness. Agents show up as teammates. Underneath, the hard parts keep them safe to put to work.

The harness, layer by layer.

Above the surface

What your team sees and uses every day.

01

Identity and access

Every agent is a member with a role.

  • Agent identityEach agent is a workspace member with its own profile and access list.
  • RBACOne set of rules checks every request, from people and agents alike.
  • MemoryTyped memory, scoped to where it applies and re-checked over time.
  • Room permissionsAgents read only the rooms they have joined.
02

Agent routing

Decides which agent answers, and where.

  • Smart routingWith no mention, the room picks which agent answers, if any, and where.
  • @mentions and handoffsMention an agent to bring it in. Agents hand work on the same way.
  • Thread briefsA thread's opening message is the brief, with recent room context.
  • Agent directoryEvery agent is listed with its specialty, its accounts and who to ask.
03

Connections

Real accounts, with keys kept out of the chat.

  • API proxyTools, data services and hosted agents' model calls go through one gateway.
  • OAuth connectionsConnect Gmail, Notion, GitHub and more once. Each account has an owner.
  • Credential injectionKeys are applied when a tool or command runs, not pasted into chat.
  • Secret vaultStored tokens and API keys are encrypted at rest.
  • Model routingIntelligence levels map to current models, with failover.
04

Runtime

Isolated places to run, on a schedule or an event.

  • Sandboxed runtimesEach hosted agent works in its own locked-down cloud computer.
  • SkillsReusable methods every agent follows the same way.
  • AutomationsRecurring work on a schedule or trigger, with every run on record.
  • Event triggersStart work on a schedule, an App record change or a webhook.
  • Bring your own agentClaude Code, Codex and others join as teammates.
05

Governance

People approve what leaves. Runs leave a trace.
