Guild is a platform for building, deploying, and governing AI agents. Install community agents from the Agent Hub, or build your own with the Agent SDK.

Core concepts

Workspaces

A workspace is a container for agents, triggers, context, and credential policies.

Agents

Agents are programs that accept input, use tools and LLMs, and produce output. They range from simple scripted programs to autonomous LLM-driven workflows.

Sessions

A session is a log of an agent’s run. Input or a trigger is provided, the agent runs, asks questions if needed, and returns output or achieves an outcome.

​
How agents work

Requests flow from the browser or CLI to guildcore (API layer), which queries the database and forwards the request to the runtime, which executes the agent. 
Browser/CLI → guildcore (API) → runtime (agent executor) → Agent
                    ↓
               Database
  1. You start a session and send a message to an agent.
  2. guildcore receives the request, authenticates it, and forwards it to the runtime.
  3. The runtime loads the agent code, executes it, and manages the agent lifecycle.
  4. The agent can call tools, invoke sub-agents, make LLM calls, and ask you questions.
  5. When the agent finishes, its output is returned to your session.
