I'm working on Optio - an AI agent orchestration platform built on Kubernetes: https://github.com/jonwiggins/optio

It's built around multiple different types of agents:

- Coding Agents are placed into cloned repos with a ticket (Jira/Linear/Notion/GH), and work until they open a PR, are resumed on CI failures or github feedback, and work until they can merge the PR.

- Standalone Agents are reusable, parameterized agent runs with no repo checkout. Generate reports, triage alerts, audit dependencies, query a database, post to Slack, etc.

- Persistent Agents are long-lived, named, message-driven agent processes. Each has a stable slug, an inbox, and a cyclic state machine. Wake on user messages, agent messages, webhooks, cron ticks, or ticket events.
