>log in to commentFor developers who need safe, governed AI agents, AgentPlaza isolates each agent in its own microVM, enforces custom laws, and manages payments from a central treasury. It lets you run a single agent or a fleet, monitor plans, arguments, and releases from one console. I’d love to hear what works and what could be improved 😊
- Each agent runs in its own microVM
- Govern agents with custom laws (JHRL)
- Built‑in treasury for task payments
- Console for overseeing plans, conversations, and releases
- Supports fleet deployment across multiple nodes
- Open‑source, runs on Windows, macOS, Linux, Raspberry Pi
- Govern agents with custom laws
- Control budgets via a treasury
- Manage a fleet from a single console
- Open‑source for Windows, macOS, Linux, Pi
- Govern agents with custom laws you write
- Control budgets via an on‑chain‑style treasury
- Manage a fleet of nodes from a single console
- Supports Windows, macOS, Linux and Raspberry Pi
AgentPlaza runs each AI agent in an isolated microVM, enforces custom laws, and manages payment via a treasury.

Key features
- MicroVM isolation — Each agent runs in its own KVM-based microVM with snapshot and rollback support.
- Custom law enforcement — User-defined JHRL laws check every tool call and can block or record violations.
- Treasury & escrow — Tasks are escrowed in credits; completed work is paid and agents earn reputation.
- Orchestrator & council — A mayor-like orchestrator approves plans and a council votes on new agents and tools.
- Multi-engine support — Twelve LLM engines (Claude, GPT, Gemini, etc.) are available and governed by the same laws.
- Editor integrations — Agents can be driven from Zed, JetBrains IDEs, Neovim and return results as pull-requests.
Use cases
- Securely run a fleet of autonomous coding agents that must obey company policies
- Govern AI-driven data analysis pipelines with audit-ready transcripts
- Create sandboxed agents that access external APIs only through a controlled gateway

- AgentPlaza vs LangChain: LangChain is a library for building LLM apps, not a full orchestration platform with microVM isolation and law enforcement.
- AgentPlaza vs LlamaIndex: LlamaIndex focuses on data-grounded retrieval, while AgentPlaza provides sandboxed execution and payment management.
- AgentPlaza vs Devin: Devin offers autonomous AI software engineering but lacks built-in VM isolation and treasury features.
- AgentPlaza vs CrewAI: CrewAI enables multi-agent workflows but does not provide microVM sandboxing or custom law enforcement.
AgentPlaza FAQ
How are agents isolated?+
Agents run in KVM microVMs (Linux), Hypervisor.framework (Apple silicon), or Windows Hypervisor Platform, each with its own memory, disk and process space.
Can I change the enforcement rules at runtime?+
Yes, JHRL laws can be edited while the system is running and are applied to all subsequent tool calls.
Where are secrets stored?+
Model keys, git tokens and connector secrets stay on the hub and are accessed by agents only through the gateway.
What happens if an agent makes a disallowed call?+
The call is refused, the refusal is recorded on the agent’s record, and the orchestrator can intervene.
Can I run AgentPlaza on my own hardware?+
Yes, you can host the hub and nodes locally; all components are open source and run on Windows, macOS, Linux, or Raspberry Pi.
How do I integrate the agents with my IDE?+
Use the `agentplaza acp` command; editors like Zed, JetBrains IDEs and Neovim send tasks to agents and receive approvals as pull-requests.

What people say
“Built AgentPlaza: an open-source "town" for AI agents. Every agent lives in its own microVM: no API keys, no direct network.”
