Description
Telos is a unique platform designed to transform goals into running software, maintaining it as requirements evolve. Unlike traditional AI coding tools that stop at the pull request, Telos continues to manage the software lifecycle. It is built for engineering teams using coding agents like Claude Code and Codex, facilitating the build, test, deploy, and maintenance loop. Telos abstracts the source code, focusing on goal specifications that describe desired interfaces, features, and constraints. This approach allows for the creation of bespoke software services as easily as using managed cloud services.

Telos offers a comprehensive developer toolchain, supporting over 40 common tools for building, testing, deploying, and debugging software. It provides a persistent environment for long-running software, with each goal running in its own virtual machine. Users can choose from Telos-managed models, connected subscriptions, or their own API keys for inference.
Pricing for Telos starts with a free tier offering usage-based billing, with a Pro plan available at $99 per workspace per month. The Pro plan includes additional features such as snapshots, rollbacks, and multiplayer collaboration. Telos is ideal for engineering teams facing bottlenecks in reviewing changes, coordinating work, and operating a growing fleet of services.
Telos ensures correctness by running adversarial coding agents until the specifications are satisfied, providing a robust solution for maintaining software against evolving requirements. It is not an open-source platform, but the Telos CLI is source-available, offering managed agent execution and cloud hosting.
