The Product
salt OS
Salt has two parts that work together.
The Agent is the chat surface where pipelines are run and drafted. The Execution Engine is the canvas where they are built, versioned and audited. Everything underneath is built in.
Who It Is For
Two profiles share one owned system.
BUILDERS
Process and reliability engineers in oil and gas. Quants, strategists and model risk analysts in financial services. Computational biologists and clinical scientists in life sciences. There are a few dozen per company.
WHAT MATTERS TO THEM
Owning the method in plain code they can read, test on their own data and change. A version they can point to. The freedom to swap a surrogate for their own kinetics, or a rule for their own, without a rebuild.
FRONT LINE
Operators, technicians and planners. Associates, analysts and reporting staff. Bench scientists, medical writers and safety scientists. Hundreds to thousands per company, and they run the pipelines every shift.
WHAT MATTERS TO THEM
A fast answer they can act on, in their own words, from the tool they already have open. The inputs it read, the method that ran and who signed it off, shown on the answer. Nothing they are not cleared to see.
THE AGENT · CHAT
Chat is the surface everyone uses.
The front line asks a question and gets a proven pipeline run. Builders describe a workflow and get a first draft to take to the canvas.
Front line
Ask in plain language and attach a file if there is one. The Agent picks the pipeline, runs it and returns the board with a short answer in the same numbers.
Builders
Describe a workflow and get a first draft of the pipeline to react to, then open it on the canvas.
Any other interface
The same pipelines run over the API, so a CMMS, a portal or a Slack channel can call them without anyone opening Salt.
Only what is authorized
Only the data, tools and pipelines this person is cleared for, with approval where a step needs one.
FRONT DOOR — Ask in chat, or call any pipeline by API from the system you already run.
THE EXECUTION ENGINE · CANVAS
The canvas is the execution engine.
Builders assemble, test and version every pipeline on the canvas. The front line can open any run and see what happened, for audit and validation.
Builders change pipelines
Node-based assembly, each node with its own context, plain Python for the steps that need it. Published with a method name and version.
The front line sees the run
Any run opens with its inputs, parameters and outputs at each step, so an answer can be checked without a solutions engineer.
Each step runs its own way
Plain code, a narrow deterministic model call or an open one. The builder sets it per node.
Validation recorded at the step
Evidence written at three levels: business use, company standard, regulatory requirement.
FRONT DOOR — Every pipeline is versioned and callable by API from the systems you already run.
FOUNDATION
The foundation is built in.
Ships in every configuration. Keep your own agent layer, models or data platform and Salt connects to them.
Models
Any open-weight, commercial or in-house model, routed per step through one gateway and scaled down when idle.
Context
Connections to source systems and indexed corpora. Permissions carry over from the source and the validation records builders write live here.
Governance
Run-as-user access control, approvals where a step needs one, and an immutable log of every prompt, parameter, model and result.
Telemetry
Run status, cost per step and failure traces for every pipeline, visible to whoever owns it.
