Automata is a developer-focused framework that enables creation of autonomous AI agents in JavaScript and TypeScript. It offers a modular architecture including planners for task decomposition, memory modules for context retention, and tool integrations for HTTP requests, database queries, and custom API calls. With support for asynchronous execution, plugin extensions, and structured outputs, Automata streamlines the development of agents that can perform multi-step reasoning, interact with external systems, and dynamically update their knowledge base.

MIDCA is a modular cognitive architecture designed to support the full cognitive loop of intelligent agents. It processes sensory inputs through a perception module, interprets data to generate and prioritize goals, leverages a planner to create action sequences, executes tasks, and then evaluates outcomes through a metacognitive layer. The dual-cycle design separates fast reactive responses from slower deliberative reasoning, enabling agents to adapt dynamically. MIDCA’s extensible framework and open-source codebase make it ideal for researchers and developers exploring autonomous decision-making, learning, and self-reflection in AI agents.
