Introduction
Liate is India's first open-source sovereign AI agent framework. Class is an Agent. Agent is an API.
What is Liate?
Liate is India's first open-source, sovereign AI agent framework. Write a TypeScript class or a declarative liate.json — model, tools, memory, skills, and environment — and execute it anywhere: your laptop, a VPS, Cloudflare Workers, or Vercel Edge.
Class-as-an-Agent: Your TypeScript class IS the agent. Agent-is-an-API: Your agent IS instantly a REST & WebSocket endpoint. No Python. No pip lockfiles. No Docker required.
Core Pillars
🧬 Class-as-an-Agent
True OOP. class MyAgent extends LiateAgent — your class is your agent. Model, memory, tools, environment — all typed fields.
🌐 Agent-is-an-API
liate serve — your agent becomes a full REST & WebSocket server instantly. Backend as an Agent (BaaA).
🔌 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 telemetry. Zero vendor lock-in.
Architecture Highlights
- Sub-Millisecond Execution: 0.87ms agent startup time
- Native MCP Host: Multi-transport support over standard I/O and SSE
- 100% Data Sovereignty: All keys and data remain local
