Cohesivity
Free tier availableOne API for AI agent backend services
About Cohesivity
OpenRouter, but for backend infrastructure rather than models — one API provisions databases, auth, storage, vector search, hosting, Redis, and a dozen other services that agents typically need. Handles lifecycle and billing across all of them, so you stop juggling six dashboards to ship one agent. Early-stage but well-positioned for the moment when "spin up an agent" needs to be one command, not one weekend.

Alternatives to Cohesivity
Peter Steinberger's open-source personal AI agent that lives inside the messaging apps you already use — WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, Slack, Signal, iMessage — and can take real actions on your behalf: browse the web, run shell commands, read files, and orchestrate tasks across 50+ integrations. Bring-your-own model: cloud (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google) or fully local through Ollama or LM Studio if you want inference to stay on your hardware. Independent project, explicitly not affiliated with Anthropic, with persistent memory that carries context across sessions.
Anthropic's framework for building production AI agents on top of Claude — with built-in tool use, file system access, code execution, and the same orchestration that powers Claude Code itself. The most direct path for developers who want agent capabilities without rebuilding the harness from scratch, and the official SDK to use when you need to ship agents on Claude in production.
