Getting started
Introduction
DirectOS is an AI operations platform: build AI workflows visually, execute them deterministically, and optimize them continuously.
What is DirectOS?
DirectOS is an AI-native workflow automation platform and part of the Bezpośrednik ecosystem — automation without middlemen. You compose workflows on a visual canvas, a deterministic engine executes them with retries and parallelism, and a multi-LLM router sends every AI task to the cheapest model that clears the quality bar.
The part that makes it an operations platform is what happens after the first run: cost attribution per call, provider health, routing explanations and concrete recommendations — the feedback loop we call execution engineering. Building a workflow is a day of work; running it efficiently for a year is the actual problem.
The platform at a glance
| Component | What it is |
|---|---|
| DirectFlow | Workflow engine — parallel scheduling, retries, branching, expressions |
| DirectRouter | Multi-LLM router — ten providers, cost-aware, ordered fallbacks |
| DirectStudio | Visual editor, execution history and the AI Operations Center |
| DirectAgents | Tool-calling agents with reflection, delegation and messaging |
| DirectMemory & RAG | Semantic memory and document knowledge bases with hybrid search |
| LLM Gateway | Anthropic-compatible endpoint with routing, budgets and call logs |
| Built-in nodes | Triggers, logic, data, AI and integrations — 25 in total |
OAuth / single sign-on, multi-tenant organizations and a node marketplace are still on the roadmap — nothing in the product fakes them. See the public roadmap.
How it is layered
┌───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ DirectStudio — visual editor + AI Operations Center │
│ REST · live events over WebSocket │
├───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ DirectOS API — workflows │ executions │ agents │ webhooks │
│ memory │ RAG │ credentials │ auth │ gateway │
├───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ Built-in nodes │ DirectRouter (providers, cost) │
├───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ DirectFlow — workflow engine (pure, deterministic) │
└───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
The dependency rule: arrows only point downward. The engine knows nothing about HTTP or databases, which is what keeps runs deterministic and testable; the API composes engine, nodes and router; DirectStudio uses the same public API your scripts do.
Where to go next
- Quickstart — the demo, your first run and your first API call.
- Workflows — how the engine schedules, branches and retries.
- Model guide — the full catalog and the cost-optimization playbook.
- API reference — every endpoint, plus live execution events.
