About Suna
Suna is the repository of Kortix, which describes itself as an open-source AI Management System. Instead of a single chatbot, it organizes AI agents that carry out tasks and deliver finished work such as reports, code and replies. Agents, the skills they share, company memory and connectors to other services are all kept as files in a git repository, so configuration is versioned and can be reviewed like code.
Each agent session runs in an isolated cloud sandbox on its own branch, and the result lands as a change request that a human approves before it is merged. The platform works with any model provider using your own API keys, rather than being tied to a single model vendor.
The project positions itself as an open alternative to closed, hosted agent products such as ChatGPT, offering source access and the option to run on your own cloud or on-premise network. The repository lists its license as 'Other', so check the license file before commercial use. A managed cloud edition is also available.
