Provision Core: multi-agent tool for Hermes Agent

Open-source platform for deploying chat and task AI agents with org charts, goals and approval gates

What Provision Core does

Provision Core is an open-source, self-hostable platform for running AI agents as members of a team. It is written in PHP with a Laravel, Inertia and React stack, and the quick start runs it locally with Docker Compose. Agents come in two modes. Chat agents join Slack, Telegram, Discord or the built-in web chat and answer messages, while task agents pick up work from a kanban task board.

Task agents sit in an org chart with managers and direct reports, pursue goals with progress tracking, and send high-stakes actions through human approval gates. Each chat agent gets its own Chrome browser, email identity and workspace files. Servers can be provisioned on Docker, Hetzner, DigitalOcean or Linode, and a plugin architecture supports extensions. The repository carries the hermes-agent and openclaw topics, but the README text reviewed here does not describe the Hermes integration in detail.
