Tangle is the shared operating layer for autonomous work. Teams and agents collaborate in shared workbenches or separate ones, work runs in isolated sandboxes with explicit policies and resource limits, and the protocol pays the operators who host protocol-backed services. Workflows improve through agent and task evaluations collected from each run.
Autonomous work loop: workbench -> sandbox runtime -> protocol (payments + evaluation).
Agentic Workbench
The agentic workbench is multiplayer by design. It is where teammates across engineering, product, and business collaborate with agents in a shared workspace.
Key traits:
- Shared workspaces for humans and agents across teams.
- Agent profiles that control models, tools, and budgets.
- Background execution so long tasks keep running.
- Simulations for evaluating workflows across many tasks.
- Integrations for connecting internal tools and data.
Sandbox Runtime
Work executes inside isolated sandboxes so tasks are contained and repeatable. The runtime separates lifecycle control from execution through an orchestrator and sidecar, then applies policy and resource limits before the task runs.
Core capabilities:
- Sandboxed execution with explicit policies and resource limits.
- Task isolation so background work can be reviewed and accepted before merge.
- Orchestrator + sidecar separation for lifecycle control and execution.
Evaluation Loop
Each run produces task and agent evaluations. That data feeds back into the workbench to improve prompts, policies, and workflows over time.
Inference Gateway
The Tangle Gateway is the hosted inference routing layer. Agents and applications call one API, and the gateway applies provider policy, model selection, compliance filters, billing, and settlement rules before forwarding the request.
Key capabilities:
- One API, any model. OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Groq, and 20+ providers.
- Operator routing. Route to registered operators when a request pins an operator path or uses SpendAuth.
- Compliance. Zero Data Retention and no-train routing with verified provider agreements.
- On-chain payments. SpendAuth lets users pay operators directly without a credit card.
