How to Install and Build Apps in Flowork

Short summary

Flowork is a local-first microkernel OS running autonomous AI agents as sandboxed WebAssembly modules. Installation requires Go 1.25+ and produces a single static binary with no Docker/external dependencies. Apps and agents are built from manifests (JSON) and core logic files, packaged as .fwpack/.fwagent.zip, with identical code serving both UI and agent tool interfaces.

  • •Flowork is a microkernel agent OS where AI agents run as isolated WebAssembly sandboxes with local memory and offline capability
  • •Installation is simple (git clone + start.sh) and produces a static binary; no Docker, cgo, or external runtimes required
  • •Apps and agents share the same manifest-and-logic structure, so one codebase powers both human UI interaction and agent tool invocation

Generated with AI, which can make mistakes.
