XENN is built on open, self-hostable technology. Three layers carry the work:
an agent runtime, a reasoning layer that improves itself, and a workflow engine that turns
decisions into actions.
01
◈
OpenClaw
Open-source, local-first AI agent runtime. A single gateway process connects the chat
channels you already use to a skill system and the model of your choice — conversations,
memory and credentials stay as plain files on hardware you own. MIT licensed.

Hermes Agent
Nous Research's agent framework and the successor to OpenClaw: the same personal-assistant
pattern, plus a closed-loop self-improvement layer and goal-oriented planning. XENN's own
agents run on this layer.

n8n
Open-source workflow automation. APIs, databases and messaging are wired into
deterministic, auditable pipelines — the hands that carry out what the agents decide.
