# Omnara

> Omnara is an open-source alternative to Claude Managed Agents. It runs durable AI agents while you choose models, tools, machines, and the user interface. Use Omnara Cloud or self-host the Apache-2.0 agent platform.

## When to use Omnara

Build customer-facing or internal agents that need persistent state, tool execution, human approvals, or multiple machines. Omnara manages agent execution and state; your application controls its user experience. A single stateless model request may only need a model API.
