Clear execution
Agents need defined actions, durable state, and visible progress. Reliable work starts with a system you can inspect.
Jidoka Labs · The lab behind Jido
Building reliable AI systems on the BEAM.
Jidoka Labs is the AI systems lab behind Jido, the open-source agent framework for Elixir and the BEAM. We build tools, patterns, and reference systems for agents that must execute useful work, recover from failure, and remain under human control.

The agent framework at the center of the lab.
Jido gives Elixir engineers a framework for agent behavior, actions, signals, and runtime coordination. It brings the strengths of the BEAM to systems that must keep working when real conditions change.

Our engineering position
Reliability is not a feature added at the end.
It is the shape of the system. Jidoka Labs works on the runtime concerns that turn model output into dependable execution.
Recovery by design
Failure is part of the runtime. Supervision, retries, and recovery paths belong in the architecture from the start.
People in command
Human review is a system capability. People set the rules, inspect the work, and make the decisions that matter.
Work from the lab
Build in the open. Prove the work.
The lab turns its point of view into public software, working systems, and useful technical guidance.
Open source
