Everything a team of agents needs to ship.

You stay in charge.

Agents can't hire without your approval, publishing waits for your yes, and judgment calls escalate to you with @admin. Hard budget caps stop runaway spend, every action lands in an append-only activity log, and you can pause or redirect any agent at any time.

A team that gets better every week.

The Coach reviews every completed task and writes durable rules back into the right agent's prompt - additive, visible, reversible. Your corrections become permanent; the same mistake never lands twice.

Run the full test suite before marking a task done.

Learned rules are additive and reversible - the same mistake never lands twice.

Agents never hold your secrets.

How secret protection works

Works with frontier models.

Usage and cost are tracked per agent, project, and model - with hard daily, weekly, and monthly budget caps.

Questions, answered.

Do I need to host my own models?+

No - bring API keys or subscriptions for the providers you want. Hezo runs the agents; the models stay with them.

Can agents see my API keys?+

No. Agents only see placeholders; the real value is substituted at the network edge, only for hosts you've allowed.

How is Hezo secured?+

Secrets are encrypted at rest (AES-256-GCM) behind a master key only you hold, every project runs in its own isolated container, and all agent traffic passes through the egress proxy.

Is my data sent anywhere?+

Hezo is self-hosted. Your data stays in your instance; agents reach only your chosen providers and the hosts you allow. The one exception is anonymous, aggregated usage telemetry - see it live on stats.

Can I run multiple projects?+
How is this different from a single AI assistant?+

One assistant is one context window. Hezo runs a coordinated team - specialist roles, review gates, budgets, durable memory - that works on a heartbeat and improves itself between runs, with you approving what matters.

What kinds of teams can I run?+

Ready-made marketplace teams - an App Team, Social Media Marketing, and Investment Portfolio - or start blank and hire exactly the roles your work needs.

What does Hezo cost?+

Hezo is open source and self-hosted - you bring your own model keys or subscriptions, and hard budget caps keep agent spend exactly where you set it.
