Open Ontology – Custom AI agents that follow strict rules

Summary: Open Ontology is a platform for creating AI agents governed by ontologies that define precise permissions, restrictions, and approval requirements. It enables building auditable, controllable AI workflows by packaging these rule-based agents for browsers, desktops, or Python environments while safely connecting to real services.

What it does

Open Ontology lets users create or select ontologies that act as permission systems specifying what AI agents can do, cannot do, and when to request approval. Agents are built from these ontologies and exported as browser, desktop, or Python applications that enforce these rules while interacting with external services.

Who it's for

It is designed for teams and developers needing AI agents with clear, auditable permission boundaries for secure and controlled workflows.

Why it matters

It addresses the unpredictability of typical AI agents by enforcing strict, auditable rules that prevent unauthorized actions and require approvals, enhancing safety in sensitive domains.
