The Enterprise Agent Harness.
Nightshift gives agent operators the choice for where compute, storage, data, and models live. Fully open-source, Apache 2.0.
What is Nightshift?
An all-in-one package to own your AI stack.
Nightshift packages the frontier for businesses to run with full sovereignty. We build the runtime, the agent harness, the connectors, the operational tooling, and the infrastructure underneath. Run it on your cluster, or run it on infrastructure we provision and operate for you.
We exist because the current arrangement is broken. A model provider sells you tokens, charges you on their meter, sees every query your team runs, and locks you in deeper with each integration. The capabilities are real. The terms are not.
Nightshift inverts the arrangement. Your cluster, your IdP, your connectors, your choice of model. Cloud, on-premise, or fully air-gapped. The frontier, packaged for operators who refuse to be tenants.
Chat your team already knows.
Feature parity with ChatGPT or Claude. Open Nightshift, start a conversation, and agents work end to end on your infrastructure.
- Plain-English prompts that kick off multi-step agent runs
- Real artifacts inline: dashboards, reports, code, alerts
- One-shot or on any recurring schedule
Agents and skills, made easy
Build an agent for every job: Purchasing, Accounting, a Compliance monitor. Each carries its own prompt and scope. Layer in skills as reusable playbooks your team writes once and agents apply on every run.
- Skills are markdown specs your team reads, reviews, and versions
- Apply skills globally or scope them to a single agent
Real work, not just chat
Dashboards, reports, spreadsheets, code, apps. Every artifact an agent produces is browsable, shareable, and traceable back to the run that made it.
- Native types: Documents, Spreadsheets, Apps, Code, Images
- Pin to dashboards, share with your team, or keep private
- Every artifact links back to the run, the agent, and the prompt
Plug into the tools you already use
A growing library of first-party connectors into the tools your team lives in. We ship new ones every release, and the integration framework is open so you or the community can add your own.
- OAuth or service-account auth: your IdP, your scopes
- Read and write: agents reply in chat, open PRs, update tickets, query warehouses
- Scoped per agent, audited per run, revocable any time
Why Nightshift?
Enterprise-Ready
Built for the controls enterprise security teams expect: hardened defaults, IDP-backed SSO, and an architecture that scales with your org.
Agent Agnostic
Run any agent SDK (Claude, OpenAI, LangGraph, or your own) on the same runtime without lock-in.
Easy to Deploy and Manage
One Helm chart for the full stack. Same chart deploys to a local cluster, your production cluster, on-premise, or fully air-gapped.
Multi-Tenant Support
Strong tenant isolation for teams, business units, or customers — namespaces, identities, and policies scoped per tenant.
Feature-Rich
UI feature parity with the chat products your team already uses, so adoption is one conversation, not a rewrite.
Sovereign
Your compute, your data, your models. Deploy Nightshift on infrastructure you control — cloud, on-premise, or fully air-gapped.
