Pillars — capability deep-dives

Five pillars hold up the platform; one spine runs through all of them — that's what makes the agent platform safe to give a credit card.

Sagewai is organised around five capability pillars and one cross-cutting security spine. The pillars are what the platform does; the spine is what makes it safe. This section is the deep-dive for each pillar, with links into the foundation, patterns, and lighthouse examples that exercise it.

The five pillars

SDK

UniversalAgent, tools, MCP, memory, workflows, directives, sandbox, model swap. The Python library you pip install. Works without any other Sagewai surface.

Primary lighthouse: Moderation and classification (Examples 49 + 42).

Autopilot

Goal in plain English → blueprint → mission lifecycle. The hosted blueprint service is the proprietary half; the local controller and missions are open source.

Primary lighthouse: Train your own model (Examples 35 + 36).

Fleet

Distributed workers, capability matching, scoped dispatch, heartbeat. The horizontal-scale story.

Primary lighthouse: Production multitenancy (Example 33) and Observability and cost (Example 40).

Observatory

Cost tracking, OpenTelemetry pipeline, Iron Man HUD, Grafana board, audit. The two surfaces that read the same telemetry stream.

Primary lighthouse: Observability and cost (Example 43).

Training Loop

Curator → JSONL → Unsloth → Ollama → cost-down. The capture-fine-tune-deploy arc that the company exists for.

Primary lighthouse: Train your own model (Example 38) and Inference deployment (Examples 44-48).

The spine

Sealed — five pillars, one spine

Per-CLI workload identity, externalised secret backends with JIT credentials, prompt + tool-output redaction at the RPC boundary, replay safety, per-CLI secret allowlists, JIT-HITL on high-privilege actions, reactive directives.

Sealed is a defense-in-depth architecture that runs across the five pillars. It is not a feature bolted onto one pillar; it is the spine that makes the platform safe to give a credit card.

Primary lighthouse: Production multitenancy (Examples 33 + 39).

How to navigate

Each pillar page below answers three questions:

1. What does this pillar do? The capability summary in plain English.
2. What proves it works? The lighthouse and pattern examples that exercise the pillar end-to-end.
3. Where do I go to ship it? Links to foundation examples, concept pages, and API reference.

If you came here looking for the "how do I add AI to my product this quarter?" story, you probably want Lighthouse, not the pillar pages. The pillars are the capability axis; the lighthouses are the intent axis.
