Liate is India's first open-source sovereign AI agent framework. Class is an Agent. Agent is an API.

What is Liate?

Liate (Layer of Isolated Agent Tools Environment) is India's first open-source, sovereign AI agent framework. Define your agent using standard Object-Oriented classes or declarative manifests — model, tools, memory, skills, and environment — and run it anywhere: your laptop, Cloudflare Workers, Vercel Edge, or your own server.

Built on Bun and Hono — the fastest JavaScript runtime and edge HTTP framework available today. No Python. No heavy pip virtualenvs. No Docker required.

Core Pillars

⚡ Class-as-an-Agent

True typed Object-Oriented Programming. class MyAgent extends LiateAgent is your entire agent definition.

🌐 Agent-is-an-API

Every agent is instantly a REST & WebSocket endpoint. liate serve gives you a full HTTP API with zero config.

🔌 Universal MCP

Native Model Context Protocol support. Connect any MCP server via Stdio, SSE, or Streamable HTTP in one line.

🛡️ Sovereign Data

Your keys, your database, your agents. 1-Click BYOC to Cloudflare & Vercel. Zero log retention. DPDP Act compliant.

Architecture Highlights

Sub-Millisecond Execution: 0.87ms agent startup time
Native MCP Host: Multi-transport support over standard I/O, SSE, and HTTP
100% Data Sovereignty: 0 disk writes during execution — runs purely in ephemeral RAM
