Lua AI

What is Lua AI?

Lua AI is a hosted agent platform, which it calls the Agent OS, for building AI agents that work in a shared workspace with people. Developers write agents in TypeScript with Zod-validated tools, test them locally and release them with the lua command-line tool, while non-developers can compose agents in an Agent Builder. Agents connect to channels including a web widget, WhatsApp, Slack, Teams, email, SMS and voice, and can be called through a REST API. The workspace gives agents shared memory, scheduled tasks and shared tool connections, and sensitive actions wait for approval and are recorded in an audit trail. Lua also offers automation through tools, webhooks, jobs, triggers and workflows, plus MCP servers and SaaS connections through Unified.to. Prices for the Agent OS are not published and the site invites visitors to talk to the team, while a separate store-focused product at shop.heylua.ai lists its own plans.
