πŸ”„ Lifecycle

From birth to retirement.
Fully managed.

AI agents aren't static software. They drift. Their behavior changes. Their trust erodes. Managing an agent is closer to managing a person than deploying a service. Nomotic gives every agent a managed lifecycle β€” with automatic state transitions, event hooks, and human-in-the-loop controls at every stage.

Lifecycle

Agents drift. Manage
the full lifecycle.

The failure mode of an AI agent isn't a crash. It's gradual drift β€” small behavioral changes accumulating until the agent is no longer operating as intended. Nomotic tracks the full lifecycle, detects when trust is eroding, and gives your team the controls to intervene before something goes wrong.

Capabilities

Complete lifecycle infrastructure.

🌱

Agent Birth

Provision agents with cryptographic identity, archetype assignment, and behavioral baseline. One command to create a fully governed, production-ready agent.

All Tiers
πŸ“Š

Trust-Based Transitions

Lifecycle states change automatically as trust evolves. Degraded at 0.5, Critical at 0.2, Retirement floor at 0.1. Thresholds are configurable per archetype.

Event Hooks & Webhooks

Register callbacks for BIRTH, DEGRADED, CRITICAL, RETIREMENT, and REVOCATION events. Integrate with Slack, PagerDuty, or any webhook endpoint.

Suspend & Reactivate

Human-controlled pause with reason logging. Suspended agents are blocked from all actions. Reinstatement requires explicit human action.

All Tiers
πŸ”

Renew & Version

Certificate renewal with lineage links. Every renewal creates a cryptographically linked new certificate tracing back to the original birth event.

🏁

Revocation & Sealing

Revocation is immediate and permanent. Creates an immutable SHA-256 revocation seal over the complete audit history. Full lifecycle reconstruction preserved.

Developer Experience

Simple to integrate.
Powerful at scale.
