Self-Hosted AI Agent Platform: Agents, Apps and Records on Infrastructure You Run

For IT heads and platform teams who run their own infrastructure and want AI agents and business apps inside it, not beside it.

A self-hosted AI agent platform puts the agents, the records they work on, and the controls around them on infrastructure you run. For some companies that is a policy requirement; for others it is about control over upgrades and costs.

Most agent tools are cloud services only. Self-hosting them usually means stitching together an open source framework, a database, an approval tool and a user directory yourself.

This page covers what that assembly costs, an illustrative example, and how Apragya runs as one platform on your own servers.

What a do-it-yourself agent stack costs

Many parts

Framework, database, queue, review tool and login stitched together.

A team to keep it running

Upgrades of each part break the others.

No business records

Agents still need an ERP or CRM to work on.

Controls to build

Audit, roles and review are left to you.

An example: a Vadodara specialty chemicals group

Take an illustrative group with its own data centre and a small platform team. It wanted agents for supplier bills and quality certificates, running on its own servers beside its finance and inventory records.

From licence to first agent

  1. Week 1

    Licence issued and release downloaded.
  2. Week 2

    Installed on the group's own servers.
  3. Week 3

    Single sign-on, roles and model keys set.
  4. Week 5

    Opening data migrated for finance and inventory.
  5. Week 7

    First agent live on supplier bills, with review.
The agent went live on records that were already on the same servers.

The platform team runs one system rather than five. Upgrades arrive as numbered releases the team schedules, and the first agent works on the same supplier bills the accounts team already processes.

How on-premise AI agents run in Apragya

Step 1 of 5

Releases

Numbered releases with container images and an installer.

  1. Releases: Numbered releases with container images and an installer.
  2. Licence: A signed licence file checked on your server.
  3. Models: Your provider keys, or a self-hosted model endpoint where supported.
  4. Agents and workflows: Built, versioned and run inside your environment.
  5. Connections: Reach other internal systems through connectors.

Self hosted ERP with AI, or an agent framework?

An open source agent framework is flexible, but it is a library, not a product. You still need the business records, the review screens, the audit log and the user management. A self-hosted platform brings those with it.
