About

We’re building the operating system for autonomous work.

Kernal started in 2024 when three infrastructure engineers got tired of watching agents lose their work every time a container restarted. We think software that runs itself deserves a real computer. So we built one that boots in half a second and never forgets.

How we work

Boring infrastructure, interesting problems.

Isolation is not optional

Every machine is a hardware‑isolated VM. We never trade safety for a faster demo.

Milliseconds matter

Boot, wake and fork times are product features. We measure them on every deploy.

Watchable by default

You can always see what an agent did, live or after the fact. No black boxes.

People who like the hard layer.
