What is Piper?
Piper is an enterprise-grade agent platform for building and deploying AI-powered task automation. Unlike chatbots that focus on instant responses, Piper agents handle complex, long-running processes that require deep work over minutes or hours.Key Capabilities
Long-Running Processes
Handle tasks that take minutes or hours, not seconds. Agents can work asynchronously while you focus on other things.
Internal System Access
Connect agents to your internal APIs, databases, and tools. Extensive integration capabilities for enterprise environments.
Async Delegation
Agents can delegate work to other agents, creating powerful automation networks that mirror how teams actually work.
Enterprise Security
Deploy in your VPC, on-premises, or air-gapped environments. Bring your own LLM keys for complete data control.
Architecture
Piper uses an agent-graph model where agents are autonomous entities that:- Have relationships with other agents (can delegate and collaborate)
- Have access to specific tools and knowledge bases
- Emit events that channels decide how to surface
- Persist state and can resume from any point
Deployment Options
| Model | LLM Keys | Use Case |
|---|---|---|
| VPC | Customer brings their own | Enterprise with strict data requirements |
| SaaS | We provide (usage-based billing) | Simpler deployment, managed infrastructure |
| On-prem | Customer brings their own | Air-gapped environments |
Core Primitives
| Primitive | Description |
|---|---|
| Agents | Autonomous entities with prompts, tools, knowledge, and relationships |
| Tools | Code executed in a sandbox at runtime for system integration |
| Channels | Message sources (Slack, Teams, email, webhooks) |
| Knowledge | Document collections with vector search |
| Guardrails | Constraints preventing risky or unauthorized actions |
