Execution, not chat
Move from prompt output to approved agent runs, tracked tickets, real artifacts, and a final status your team can trust.
Private beta · AI operating system for verified work
Run the work. Prove the work.
Salsa turns intent into audited execution: it plans the run, opens the sandbox, routes the right model, verifies the result, and leaves receipts your team can replay.
Plans before action
QA before execution
Sandboxed tools
Replayable receipts
Receipts, not vibes
Every decision, command, artifact, and handoff is event-sourced so the work can be replayed instead of debated.
Creative output included
Salsa agents can render motion assets with Hyperframes and Remotion when the work needs a launch video, thumbnail, or social cut.
Salsa
Warm editorial gradients, understated chrome, and calm motion for operator-focused work.
Rendered from a checked-in Hyperframes composition. The same motion pipeline is available to Salsa agents.
The problem
Most AI stops at output.
Salsa owns the run.
Copilots autocomplete. Agents spin up containers. Chatbots return confident answers. The hard part is everything after that: deciding what should run, isolating it, proving it worked, and giving the team a durable record of what changed.
Salsa is the operating layer for agentic work. It keeps the work tied to teams, tickets, approvals, sandboxes, QA gates, and replayable evidence instead of leaving your company with a pile of transcripts.

How it works
A complete execution loop
Every task flows through five stages. No shortcuts. No skipping QA.
Core architecture
What makes Salsa different
Sandbox isolation
Every autonomous action executes inside a VM sandbox. Untrusted LLM outputs never touch your host. Failed or malicious tool calls can't damage your system.
Event-sourced memory
An append-only event store records every action, decision, and state change. Replay history. Rebuild views. Trace what changed, when, and why.
Tiered model routing
90% of routine work hits fast, cheap models. Only complex reasoning escalates to frontier models. Smart routing keeps costs predictable without sacrificing quality.
Local-first architecture
Salsa runs on your Mac. Your data stays on your machine. Cloud is optional escalation, not a requirement. Works offline with local models.
Teams and collaboration
Issues, plans, permissions, and notifications in one operational loop. Invite collaborators with scoped permissions. Federate across instances.
QA gates as runtime
Safety isn't a prompt instruction — it's enforced behavior. Every plan passes automated QA before execution. No shortcuts. No overrides.
The interface
One app. Not twelve.
Issues, plans, execution, settings — all in a native macOS app.
