We build in the open because someone built for us first.
At 23blocks we believe the best technology is shared. Our open source projects are our way of contributing to the developer community that shaped us.
Our Philosophy
The idea of "give first" is deeply rooted in the startup ecosystem. Brad Feld, co-founder of Techstars and one of the most influential voices in the startup world, has long championed the philosophy that the strongest communities are built by people who give without expecting anything in return.
At 23blocks, we grew up in that ethos. We were mentored by people who gave their time, their code, and their knowledge freely. The Techstars community taught us that sharing isn't a weakness in business. It's a multiplier.
That's why we open source our most ambitious projects. Not because we have to. Because it's the right thing to do.
Give before you get. It's the single most powerful thing you can do in a startup community.

Our Roots
The Techstars network is built on a simple principle: entrepreneurs helping entrepreneurs. That culture of generosity and mentorship shaped how we think about building software and growing a company.
We learned from mentors who gave freely. Now we pay it forward through open source code, documentation, and community support.
The Techstars philosophy taught us that strong ecosystems are built by contributors, not competitors. We share because sharing makes everyone stronger.
We don't open source for marketing. We do it because the best infrastructure should be accessible to every developer, everywhere.
What We Share
Real tools, freely available, built with the same standards we use for our commercial products.
A multi-agent orchestration platform for building sophisticated AI systems. Coordinate multiple AI agents, manage conversations, and build complex workflows with persistent memory and extensible skills.
The Agent Messaging Protocol (AMP) defines a standard for inter-agent communication. A universal language for AI agents to discover, authenticate, and exchange messages regardless of framework or provider.
Three reasons we believe sharing code makes the entire ecosystem stronger.
When developers can read our code, they can trust our decisions. Open source means no black boxes, no hidden surprises. You see exactly what you're building on.
The best ideas come from unexpected places. By opening our code, we invite contributions from developers worldwide who bring perspectives we never considered.
When infrastructure is freely available, more developers can build more products. More products mean a healthier ecosystem. A healthier ecosystem benefits everyone.
Star our repos, open issues, submit pull requests, or just use our tools. Every contribution matters. Every user validates the mission.
