Introduction to FAOS
Welcome to the Foundation Agentic Operating System (FAOS) documentation. FAOS is an enterprise-grade platform that enables organizations to deploy AI agents that work autonomously on their behalf.
What is FAOS?
FAOS is not just another AI tool—it's a complete operating system for Outcome-as-a-Service (OaaS) with a workshop-driven approach. We recognize that agentic enterprise software requires organizational transformation, not just software access. Every customer starts with hands-on training to ensure successful adoption and measurable business outcomes.
Key Differentiators
| Traditional SaaS | FAOS (Workshop-Driven OaaS) |
|---|---|
| Self-serve trial | Starter Workshop (hands-on training) |
| Users do the work | AI agents do the work |
| Measure feature usage | Measure work completed |
| One-size-fits-all | Industry-specific ontologies |
| Monthly subscription | License-based (Business/Enterprise) |
Core Capabilities
1. Autonomous AI Agents
Deploy specialized agents that understand your industry context and can:
- Execute multi-step workflows autonomously
- Make decisions within defined guardrails
- Learn and improve from each interaction
2. Industry Ontologies
Pre-built knowledge frameworks for 14+ industries including:
- Banking & Financial Services
- Healthcare
- Manufacturing
- Professional Services
- And more...
3. Graduated Autonomy
Control how much independence your agents have:
- L1 (Assisted): AI suggests, human executes
- L2 (Supervised): AI executes, human approves
- L3 (Autonomous): AI executes within guardrails
- L4 (Proactive): AI anticipates and acts
