Agents Overview
Last updated March 3, 2026
Build, deploy, and monitor autonomous agents with Cencori Agent Foundry.
Agents
Cencori Agent Foundry lets you connect any autonomous agent to your infrastructure. All agents include Shadow Mode protection and can be configured, monitored, and controlled from a single dashboard.
Cencori is not the agent — it's the brain. Your agent runs locally (or in the cloud), and Cencori provides model routing, billing, safety controls, and monitoring via a standard OpenAI-compatible API.
Available Blueprints
OpenClaw
The autonomous desktop operator. OpenClaw controls your mouse, keyboard, and browser to automate complex local tasks.
Best for: Desktop automation, file management, browser-based workflows.
# Install
curl -sSL https://openclaw.ai/install.sh | bash
# Connect to Cencori
export OPENAI_BASE_URL=https://cencori.com/api/v1
export OPENAI_API_KEY=cake_your_key_here
# Optional: for multi-agent routing overrides
export CENCORI_AGENT_ID=your_agent_id
# Run
openclaw onboardCapabilities:
- Full desktop control (mouse, keyboard, screenshots)
- File system access and management
- Application interaction and automation
[!NOTE]
CENCORI_AGENT_IDis optional. Cencori derives the agent from the API key by default.
n8n Workflow
Build custom AI agents visually using n8n's low-code workflow automation platform. Connect to 300+ apps without writing code.
Best for: Multi-app automation, data pipelines, event-driven workflows.
# Install
npx n8n
# Connect to Cencori
export OPENAI_BASE_URL=https://cencori.com/api/v1
export OPENAI_API_KEY=cake_your_key_hereCapabilities:
- Visual workflow builder with drag-and-drop nodes
- LangChain integration for advanced AI chains
- 300+ pre-built app integrations (Slack, GitHub, Notion, etc.)
AutoGPT
The original autonomous agent. AutoGPT recursively improves its own prompts and reasoning to achieve complex, multi-step goals.
Best for: Open-ended research, long-running autonomous tasks.
# Install
pip install autogpt
# Connect to Cencori
export OPENAI_BASE_URL=https://cencori.com/api/v1
export OPENAI_API_KEY=cake_your_key_here
# Run
autogpt runCapabilities:
- Recursive self-improvement and task decomposition
- Long-term memory across sessions
- Internet access for real-time research
CrewAI
Orchestrate a team of role-based agents that collaborate on complex projects. Each agent has a specialized role and delegates tasks to others.
Best for: Multi-agent collaboration, complex project execution.
# Install
pip install crewai
# Connect to Cencori
export OPENAI_BASE_URL=https://cencori.com/api/v1
export OPENAI_API_KEY=cake_your_key_hereCapabilities:
- Role-based agent assignment (Researcher, Writer, Reviewer, etc.)
- Automatic task delegation and sequencing
- Collaborative output synthesis
Python Sandbox
A secure, sandboxed environment for executing Python code generated by LLMs. Ideal for data analysis and visualization tasks.
Best for: Data analysis, code execution, generating charts and reports.
# Install
pip install openai
# Connect to Cencori
export OPENAI_BASE_URL=https://cencori.com/api/v1
export OPENAI_API_KEY=cake_your_key_hereCapabilities:
- Isolated code execution with resource limits
- Data analysis with pandas, numpy, matplotlib
- Automatic visualization generation
Custom Agent
Build your own agent from scratch. Any tool that supports a custom OpenAI base URL works with Cencori out of the box.
Best for: Specialized use cases, proprietary workflows, experimentation.
# Connect any OpenAI-compatible agent to Cencori
export OPENAI_BASE_URL=https://cencori.com/api/v1
export OPENAI_API_KEY=cake_your_key_here
# Optional: force a specific agent when needed
export CENCORI_AGENT_ID=your_agent_idCompatible with: OpenHands, Aider, Continue, LangChain, LlamaIndex, SillyTavern, and any tool that supports custom OpenAI endpoints.
Shadow Mode
All agents include Shadow Mode, a proactive safety layer that:
- Intercepts tool calls from the LLM before they execute.
- Inserts them as pending actions in the dashboard Live Feed.
- Waits for your approval before the agent proceeds.
Toggle Shadow Mode on or off from the agent's configuration page.
Configuration
From the Configuration tab you can:
- Switch Models instantly (GPT-4o, Gemini 2.0 Flash, Claude 3.5, etc.)
- Edit the System Prompt to refine the agent's behavior
- Generate & Roll API Keys for secure authentication
- Delete agents you no longer need
