// vanta agent

One engine. Wired into your tools.

Vanta Agent is a local-first desktop assistant built on the Vanta engine — no supervisor, no worktrees, no merge. Chat with it, code in a single folder, connect it to Gmail, GitHub, Cloudflare, and Discord, and let it run routines on a schedule. The thesis stays simple: we don't fork the engine, we host it.

§ 01

A console of surfaces, one engine

The app is a small console: Home, Chat, Code, Connections, Schedule, Insights, Memory, and Activity. Each surface is the same engine with a different tool profile — Chat gets web search with the filesystem locked down; Code gets the full toolset on one folder. There's no orchestration layer; it's one agent at a time.

§ 02

Connected, and scheduled

Connections links Vanta to the tools you already use — Gmail, GitHub, Cloudflare, Discord — over OAuth, with a plain-language, least-privilege summary of every scope. Schedule turns a sentence into a recurring routine that can run unattended, with an explicit per-routine write-consent posture.

  • OAuth connectors with least-privilege scopes you can read in plain English.
  • Tokens live in your OS keychain — never in the app, never in the clear.
  • Routines run on a schedule; autonomous writes are opt-in, per routine.
  • Memory and self-authored Skills carry context across runs.
§ 03

Hosts the engine, doesn't fork it

The app spawns the same Vanta engine in a headless host mode and renders its events in a native UI instead of an ANSI REPL — diff approval, live model switch, vision, and compaction are all the engine's. Local-first by construction: your data and keys stay on your machine, and every connector call is audit-logged.
