What makes ResolveKit different
The agent lives inside your app via SDK, not in a widget or help center.
Approval boundaries let you control exactly what the agent can and cannot do.
Full session traces give operators visibility into every AI decision and action.
Open source (AGPL-3.0) — inspect, modify, and self-host the entire stack.
Free platform in both self-hosted and managed modes with bring-your-own keys.
