The fastest way to create and scale agent networks

We believe that AI agents need to be more than models. Modern products are powered by a myriad of programs and devices, and those programs and devices are also agents and should be able to communicate with each other. Protofy is the framework that allows humans, AIs and services to talk to each other.

With Protofy, any doer can build agent networks that helps them create, iterate and scale digital products and services. In hours.

The Agent Network provides a way for agents to discover, understand, and interact with each other without human intervention. Users can incorporate their own code and make it available as an agent in the network.

Our agent definition protocol, network, and platform are open source to foster a community of creators who contribute examples, templates, and connectors.

Check the getting started guide to run Protofy on your computer, directly with npm or using docker.

📦 Included packages

• Protoflow LowCode interactive diagram system for Javascript and Typescript
• VisualUI What you see is what you get (wysiwyg) for react, like FlutterFlow but for react
• Protolib Protofy Framework on top of react, express and tamagui
• Express API system based on NodeJS (With automatic CRUD creation)

• Expo Router
• Many more things!

🗂️ Folder layout

The project has two main folders:

• apps

  • expo (native)
  • next (web)
  • api (express API to create the web or app)
  • core (mqtt, mangement apis, authentication, ...)

• packages shared packages across apps

  • ui includes your custom UI kit that will be optimized by Tamagui
  • app you'll be importing most files from app/
    • bundles
      • custom the custom bundle, put here your custom pages, components, apis, etc. The admin panel reads and writes on this bundle.
  • protolib Protofy react library with high level widgets and functions to bootstrap the web/app creation
  • protoflow Protofy react library to draw js/ts/jsx/tsx as diagrams
  • visualui Protofy react library to do WYSIWYG in react
  • protodevice Protofy integration with ESPHome for IoT and device management

You can add other folders inside of packages/ if you know what you're doing and have a good reason to.
