 30+ AI experts ready to go out of the box. Need more? Just describe the role you want and AI will spin one up on the spot. ## What Is Yao Agents? Install it, and you've got a full AI expert team standing by on your machine. Your data stays local, you pick the model, and it just works. What can it do? Here are some examples: - **Need a quick tool?** — Tell Applet Workshop what you want. It'll spin one up on the spot, with a live preview right there on screen. - **Want a website or landing page?** — Hand it off to Web Builder. It scaffolds everything with Next.js + Tailwind, and when you're happy, one click deploys it to your server. - **Data analysis and dashboards** — Insights hooks into your database or spreadsheet, crunches the numbers, and gives you an interactive ECharts dashboard. - **Making a deck?** — Slides turns your outline into a presentation. Export to PDF and you're good to go. - **Tracking market trends** — Market Scout automatically monitors industry news, pulls it in, and sorts everything into neat categories. - **Managing projects, handling email** — Pair Project Manager with Postman as a Robot, and it'll automatically receive emails, triage and archive them, track project progress — basically automate the whole project management workflow. - **Saving knowledge** — Found a great article? Drop the link to Keeper. It reads, summarizes, tags, and files it away. Search for it anytime later. Tired of repeating the same routine every day? Create a Robot. Tell it what it's responsible for, and it'll assess situations, make decisions, and get things done on its own — then report back to you. Got a few dusty old computers sitting around? Hook them up through Tai Link and let your AI team collaborate across devices while you get on with your day. ## Why We Built Yao Agents Back in 2022, we built Yao Engine — an open-source application engine that used a DSL to describe business logic and generate code. Then AI capabilities caught up: all the code was AI-generated with humans reviewing. Then AI started reviewing too, with humans doing the final sign-off. Over the past few years, we've been asking ourselves: now that AI can write code, what does software even become? Two takeaways: **It's not about coding — it's about domain expertise.** If you're in marketing, you don't need "a dashboard app." You need to see data, draw conclusions, and act fast. If you're in operations, you don't need "a monitoring tool." You need industry intel delivered, reports written, and next steps laid out clearly. AI doesn't replace your professional judgment — it takes care of all the tedious execution in between. **The best software is no software.** You used to have to learn UIs, memorize workflows. Now you just tell AI what outcome you want, it does the work, and hands you the result. So we took the full-stack power of Yao Engine, combined it with AI Agents, and built Yao Agents. It runs on your own machine. Your data, your choice of model. You focus on what you're actually good at — Yao Agents handles the rest. ## About the Open Beta It's a beta, so yes, there will be bugs. If you run into anything, let us know and we'll get it fixed. Yao Agents Hub and the AI-generated expert assistant feature are currently in closed testing and will be available soon. You'll be able to install community experts from the Hub with one click, or describe what you need and let AI generate one for you. We're also integrating with third-party agent ecosystems, so expect more experts down the road. To make it easy to try Yao Agents, we provide a [model service](https://yaoagents.com/dashboard/auth/entry?redirect=/console) with popular models like Claude, GPT, and DeepSeek built in — just sign up and go. You can also connect your own model provider. If you're a developer and want to build your own expert assistants, check out the [Yao Agent development tutorial](https://yaoapps.com/docs/tutorials/en-us/agent/getting-started/index) to build one from scratch.
