Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Manic Agency, Frame.dev ecosystem, and our AI development services.
What is Manic Agency and what services do you offer?
Manic Agency is a digital innovation studio specializing in emergent AI technologies. We build Frame.dev and the Framers AI ecosystem, including Voice Chat Assistant, AgentOS, and OpenStrand. Our services include AI development, web applications, and creative technology solutions.
What is Frame.dev and how does it relate to your other projects?
Frame.dev is our flagship open-source AI development platform. It's the foundation of our Framers AI ecosystem, which includes Voice Chat Assistant (VCA) for natural language coding, AgentOS for AI orchestration, and OpenStrand for collaborative knowledge management. We're also developing HomeOS, WebOS, SafeOS, MyOS, and WorkOS.
How can Voice Chat Assistant help with development?
Voice Chat Assistant (VCA.chat) enables natural language coding through voice commands. It integrates with AgentOS to provide intelligent assistance for software development, making coding more accessible and efficient through conversational interfaces.
What is AgentOS and how does it work?
AgentOS (agentos.sh) is a modular runtime for AI applications that provides orchestration capabilities for intelligent systems. It enables developers to build, deploy, and manage AI agents with seamless integration across different platforms and services.
How does OpenStrand support collaborative knowledge management?
OpenStrand (openstrand.ai) is inspired by Zettelkasten methodology and provides tools for organizing, connecting, and discovering knowledge collaboratively. It helps teams build interconnected knowledge bases that grow more valuable over time.
Are your projects open source?
Yes! We're committed to open-source development. Frame.dev, Voice Chat Assistant, AgentOS, and OpenStrand are all open-source projects. You can find our repositories on GitHub at github.com/manicinc and contribute to the ecosystem.
How can I get started with your AI development services?
