# Astropods
> Every agent your company runs, in one operating system. Deploy from a single spec, trace every run without instrumenting it, and set what each agent can reach and spend.
Astropods brings every agent into a single operating system: governed centrally, run everywhere, and measured against the work your team already does.
## Pages

## What it does
- **Anything you ship on Astropods is a governed agent.** Astropods is the layer between your code and production. It gives you the spec, the guardrails, and the record of every run. You bring the work you want done.
- **Trust is built right into the foundation.** Agents reach your most sensitive systems. Astropods gives them the same controls you already apply to production software, and the record to prove it.
- **Manage your intelligence budget from a central place.** See human and agent work in one view. Where agents add the most value, and where your teams get the most leverage from them.
- **Set up automatic rules. Astropods ensures every agent follows them.** Choose what to watch for, which agents it applies to, and what should happen. An agent that starts to spend too much is stopped instead of showing up on the bill.
## For builders
- **The spec is the deploy form.** Declare an input, a model, or a provider in `astropods.yml` and it becomes a field the moment the blueprint deploys.
- **Bring the framework you already use.** An adapter wraps your agent where it stands. The code keeps its own shape, the spec adds the runtime around it, and nothing gets rebuilt to ship.
- **All the infrastructure you need, already there.** No store to provision, no model key to rotate, no token in your repo. The blueprint arrives and the runtime is already there.
- **Explore agent blueprints** — Use a blueprint that already works, add your own keys, and deploy it under your account.
