Charm

What is Charm?

Charm is a unified application layer that provides a standardized architecture for distributing, running, and scaling AI agents across heterogeneous ecosystems — turning them into real, commercial-ready applications with a single manifest file and a few CLI commands.

​

Why Charm?

• Ecosystem Agnostic: Bring your own framework such as CrewAI, LangChain, LangGraph, OpenClaw, or plain Python functions, Charm wraps them all with the same runtime contract.
• No Infrastructure: The Cloud Runner handles isolated container execution, secrets injection, and scaling. You write agent logic, not deployment pipelines.
• Server-Driven UI: Return Markdown or structured JSON from your agent and the Store renders timelines, comparison tables, viral cards, and article layouts automatically - no frontend code needed.
• Built-In Monetization: Set pricing in charm.yaml and Charm handles checkout, subscriptions, balance checks, and payouts.
• Open Source: Charm Core, CLI, and runtime adapters are fully open source. Community contributions drive every part of the ecosystem.

​

Who needs Charm?

• AI Developers who have a working agent in CrewAI, LangChain, OpenClaw, or custom Python and want to ship it as a product without building infrastructure.
• AI Builders who want to monetize agents through the Charm Store with built-in billing, OAuth, and a hosted runtime.
• Everyday users who want agents as apps, not infrastructure. Zero setup, no API keys, and no need to understand how they work. Just natural interaction with the agents you need.

​

What do you need?

• Python 3.10+ and pip or uv for package management.
• Docker Desktop (optional) if you want to test agents locally in an isolated container sandbox that mirrors the cloud runtime.
• A Charm account for publishing to the Store — sign up at store.
