The Problem • What Hortator Does • Quickstart • How It Works • Guardrails • CRDs • FAQ • Roadmap --- The Problem AI agents today run in one of two modes: sandboxed toys (single container, no real autonomy) or terrifying cowboys (SSH into prod, spawn Docker containers, curl bash whatever they want). There's no middle ground. No infrastructure that says: \"Yes, you can spawn sub-agents, decompose problems, and work autonomously - but within boundaries I define.\" Hortator is that middle ground. What Hortator Does Hortator is a Kubernetes operator that gives AI agents the ability to create other AI agents at runtime - forming dynamic task hierarchies to solve complex problems. Each agent runs in its own Pod with its own context, budget, and security boundary. You define the guardrails. Agents do the thinking. The task tree isn't defined upfront - it emerges from the work. A Tribune decides it needs three Centurions. A Centurion decides it needs five Legionaries. Hortator manages the lifecycle, result passing, and cleanup. Key idea: Agents never see YAML. They use a CLI ( hortator spawn , hortator result ) inside their Pod. The operator handles everything else. What makes this different from [Argo / Tekton / CrewAI / LangGraph]? - Argo/Tekton define static DAGs upfront. Hortator task trees are dynamic - agents decide the structure at runtime. - CrewAI/LangGraph are Python frameworks that run agents in-process.
