What Loki Agent does

It includes a built-in cron scheduler with delivery to any platform, isolated subagents for parallel work, and seven terminal backends: local, Docker, SSH, Singularity, Modal, Daytona and Vercel Sandbox. Models are switched with loki model across providers such as OpenRouter, OpenAI or your own endpoint. The installer sets up uv, Python 3.11, Node.js, ripgrep and ffmpeg, plus a portable Git Bash on native Windows.
