We’re excited to finally say this: Okou is now open for public beta.
After about two months of building and quiet private testing, we’re opening the door to more developers and builders. We moved fast, learned a lot, broke things, fixed them, and this feels like the right moment to invite more people in, just a small baby step forward.
What is Okou?
Okou is a natural language based for building AI agents, backed by a sandbox that can run your agents 24/7.
You describe what you want. Okou handles the runtime, execution, and environment. Your agents keep running even when your laptop is closed.
Ways to build with Okou
We try to serve both ends of the spectrum: vibe coders and professional developers.
For vibe coders and fast experiments
If you’re new to AI agents or just want to test an idea quickly, you can get started in minutes. No heavy setup, no long docs to read upfront.
Three commands and you’ll have your first agent running:
npm install -g @vm0/cli && vm0 onboard
Quick start here:
For professional developers
If you want more control, Okou gives you a full development toolkit. You can wire Okou into your existing infrastructure and scale things up when it actually matters.
Full quick start:
We really want your feedback
Okou is still a beta. Things will change, sometimes quickly.
Bug reports, rough edges, feature requests, or even “this feels weird” feedback all matter to us. A lot of what we’re building next is directly shaped by early users.
If something breaks, tell us. If something feels great, tell us too.
Contribute to the cookbook
We’re growing a community-driven cookbook with real examples and patterns.
If you’ve built:
- a customer support agent
- a data analysis workflow
- an internal tool
- or something totally unexpected
We’d love to see it.
Share your examples:

What’s next
This is only the start. On our roadmap: https://vm0.productlane.com/roadmap
- Self-host runner
- Easy agent sharing
- Support more model providers
- Okou Platform agent builder
- Okou Slack integration
- Okou connector
If you have questions, hit a bug, or just want to show what you built, come hang out with us in the community:
