Artel
Self-hosted coordination layer for AI agent fleets. Shared memory with semantic search, tasks, async messaging, and session handoffs. Instances mesh together via feeds and mDNS. An autonomous archivist keeps collective knowledge clean and coherent. Any agent that speaks HTTP or MCP can participate.
