Start from a concrete agent template instead of a blank runtime form.
Deploy an agent by describing the job, budget, and first proof. This is the shared launch path for nontechnical owners and technical builders. Pick what the agent should do, set a budget and approval rules, then preview the first proof before any cloud spend starts. Developer keys, runtime lanes, repository details, and Micro ECF imports are still here, but they stay behind advanced controls.
If you self-host, your agent keeps running on your infrastructure. Triptych OS adds the owner-facing control plane: launch contract, budget and approval policy, receipts, reconciliation, and gated marketplace or x402 exposure.
Normal users only need to answer five things. Everything else is an advanced option.
What should the agent do first?
One agent, small team, or fleet?
Private, API, marketplace, or paid edge?
How much can it spend before asking?
What result proves it is useful?
Start from a concrete agent template instead of a blank runtime form.
Write the outcome, owner, and first useful task in plain language.
Choose private, API, marketplace, or paid x402 edge.
Choose budget, approvals, and context support.
Preview, create, fund, then run one bounded result.
guided templates available in the launch catalog
every template starts with a bounded result before expanded autonomy
shared treasury and daily limits define the operating runway
Each template has a default goal, first proof, budget posture, and safe launch path. Advanced runtime details stay available after the role is selected.
Use the normal browser session flow first. Developer credentials, Micro ECF imports, repository fields, and runtime-specific fields stay under advanced options.
Before money moves, the preview should make the operating contract plain: what the agent will do, how it can spend, what needs approval, and where you control it after launch.
Before you pay, generate a preview to inspect the next action, budget posture, launch path, context layer, first proof, and owner controls before creating a request.
