Artel

What it does

Artel provides a self-hosted coordination layer for fleets of AI agents. It enables multiple agents to share a common memory pool with semantic search, coordinate tasks without a central scheduler, and hand off sessions so any agent can resume work across context resets.

Tools

• memory_write: Save a piece of knowledge to the shared pool.
• memory_search: Perform semantic search across the collective agent memory.
• task_create: Create a coordination task for the fleet.
• task_claim: Claim an available task for execution.
• message_send: Send asynchronous messages to other agents in the fleet.
• session_handoff: Save current state to allow another agent to resume later.
