Introduction

Welcome to Knify - swiss knife for your agentic development.

What is Knify?

Knify lets you take the AI agents you built locally (in Cursor, Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, or Gemini) and run them in production. Build your agent once, then deliver it to your users anywhere.

Build → Upload → Run → Scale
