Orchestrating AI

Ash is the company behind the open-source Ash orchestration runtime — the definitive orchestration layer for human-AI collaboration, where every automated decision is legible, testable, and completely governed.

Built for teams that demand more from AI

Open by Default

An open standard for AI workflows

Every workflow is plain text — version it in git, review it in pull requests, and run it anywhere. No proprietary formats, no vendor lock-in, no black boxes.

  • Write workflows as numbered .md files
  • Full scripting power with .ash files
  • AGPL-3.0 licensed, community governed, forever free for individuals

Any agent, any model, one command

Swap AI providers without touching your workflows. Ash discovers installed agents automatically and lets you mix models across steps — research with Sonnet, implement with GPT, review with Haiku.
