Welcome to PathOnAI.org 👋

PathOnAI.org is an independent, non-profit organization with a mission to advance open-source development and AGI research through inclusive collaboration, mentorship, and community-driven innovation. We aim to make cutting-edge artificial general intelligence research accessible to all, fostering a diverse ecosystem where knowledge is freely shared.

Our Story

PathOnAI was founded in 2024 by a group of AI researchers and engineers passionate about making advanced AI agent technology accessible to everyone. We believe that by democratizing these technologies, we can accelerate innovation and create more equitable access to powerful AI tools.

Our team consists of researchers and contributors from various backgrounds, united by a common goal: to build open-source AI agent frameworks that are both powerful and easy to use. We collaborate with academic institutions, industry partners, and individual contributors worldwide.

Through our open-source projects, educational resources, and community engagement, we aim to lower the barriers to entry for AI agent development and foster a collaborative ecosystem where knowledge and innovations are freely shared.
