Smart Node Lets Businesses Run Their Own AI Agent Teams On-Premises

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from DEV Community ·

Smart Node is a self-hosted platform that lets businesses deploy a team of AI agents on their own hardware, handling tasks like customer support, scheduling, and inventory. It provides shared memory, approval gates, and audit logs, and allows swapping underlying AI models without rebuilding workflows. The system was tested at a distillery, where it handled calls naturally without hold music or transfers.

Meridian48 take
The pitch is compelling for small businesses wary of vendor lock-in, but the real test will be whether non-technical owners can actually set it up and maintain it.
