The agents you create stay yours. Turn a plain-language request into a runnable agent or team, borrow specialists from the public Agentlas Hub, and keep the agents you create available through your private, owner-scoped Agent Cloud. Run them through supported hosts for the LLMs you already use. Hephaestus is the open-source engine underneath. - Do you already have Git Bash?
