Linux first / AI agency

Their identity.
Their agency.

Nyam manages ordinary operating-system identities and resource permissions for AI agents. An agent gets its own user and room to work, with authority configured by the human.

01 / The approach

An agent can act.
A human sets its authority.

Native identities and permissions.
Visibility through a dashboard.

01

A real identity

An ABE, or AI Boundary Environment, is an ordinary OS user intended for AI use. Nyam discovers existing users as well as managing identities created through its interface.

02

Permissions outlast the tool

Access belongs to the OS identity. Changing an agent’s harness, such as Codex or Hermes, should preserve the user’s resource permissions. The operating system enforces its own access rules.

03

Use a capability

The protected gateway is designed to let an authorized identity use an external service without receiving its transferable credential. Identity, service, and credential permissions must agree.

Current development

Human visibility.
Explicit authority.

Nyam’s dashboard brings together identities, folders, agent tools, services, and gateway configuration. Linux is the first platform; wider platform support is planned.

The implementation has live identity observations and specific verified operations. Complete agent installation, protected gateway operation, and permission enforcement still require further end-to-end verification. This is an introduction to the project, not a production security guarantee.
