# The agent operating system

> Actionist is an operating system for AI employees — agents with a role, memory, tools, and a schedule. Describe the outcome in plain language; Actionist plans the steps, does the work, and reports back.

  </h2>

  <p className="mxp-hero-dek mxp-rise" style={{animationDelay:'0.13s'}}>
    Give an agent a role, the tools, and a sentence describing what you want. It plans the steps, does the work across your real apps, and reports back — then keeps doing it on a schedule. No node graphs, no cron syntax, no glue code.

      This is the whole product in one exchange: you describe the result, Actionist drafts a plan, runs it across your tools, and — because you asked for "every weekday" — turns it into a schedule that fires without you.
