# Orchestrator Zero

> Self-hosted AI agent orchestration: run AI agents on machines you control, with job recovery, action permissions and model-spending limits.

Orchestrator Zero (oz0) helps platform and IT teams run useful AI work on infrastructure they control. Start with one task, configure its model, tools, permissions and budget, then review the result and cost. The core is Apache 2.0 licensed. Operators provide their own infrastructure and model services. Recovery, sandbox isolation and cost enforcement depend on the selected mode and configuration; the linked pages explain those limits.

The website and Docs are a public preview. The software has not been released; the source repository remains private and Hub access is coming soon. Examples on the website are illustrations, not customer results or captured production runs.

The server is one binary: management, edge and embedded Temporal run together by default. Operators can separate the roles or choose external Temporal. Nodes use separate software to run agents and tools; server and node software can share a machine.
