ADI Mono

What this is

ADI is software you install and run on your own computer. It runs AI agents, and gives every project, service, or dashboard it manages a real address — yourproject.adi — instead of a terminal tab you have to keep open or a port number you have to remember. A local supervisor keeps it all alive: restarting a service under its restart policy, waking an on-demand one the moment something visits it, and stopping it again once its idle window passes. One page in your browser, the control panel at app.adi, shows what’s running and lets you start, stop, and watch it.

If you’re comfortable installing software on a machine you control and running a command in a terminal, ADI is for you. It isn’t a hosted product you sign into — there’s no account behind it sitting on someone else’s server.

For an enterprise evaluating thisEnterprise interest

The front door — the piece that answers every *.adi address — binds loopback addresses only, and mints its own certificate authority so local services get real HTTPS: one cryptographically constrained (RFC 5280 name constraints) to the .adi/localhost/127.0.0.0/8 namespace, so a leaf it signs isn’t a certificate any real browser will accept for anything outside this machine’s own names, however its key is handled. Services meant to stay up are supervised and restarted under their own restart policy instead of left to quietly die, and the whole routing table is one API call away rather than scattered across shell history and config files. See Hive for the routing, HTTPS, and supervision detail behind all of this.

For the technically curiousExpert area

A service lives as a few lines of YAML in a project’s .adi/hive.yaml, and the CLI, adi-mono, is the one command line every part of the system answers to. Under the hood there’s a DNS resolver for the .adi zone, a task tree, a code index (symbol search, call graph, clone detection), knowledge bases with embedded semantic search, a fleet layer that joins remote machines over iroh, and a port manager that leases ports instead of guessing at them. The one piece with a real page right now is the front door and process supervisor — Hive.
