# AetherIoT

> AetherIoT is the open-source, AI-native runtime platform for physical spaces. People describe everyday needs, agents propose inspectable automations, shared contracts validate change, and the edge decides what runs under local policy.

## Agent entry points

- [Unified English documentation index](https://docs.aetheriot.dev/en/llms.txt)
- [Unified Chinese documentation index](https://docs.aetheriot.dev/llms.txt)
- [Product status and roadmap](https://docs.aetheriot.dev/en/roadmap/status/)
- [Version compatibility](https://docs.aetheriot.dev/en/compatibility/version-matrix/)

## Product repositories

- [AetherEdge](https://github.com/EvanL1/AetherEdge): owns live state and deterministically executes commissioned behavior.
- [AetherCloud](https://github.com/EvanL1/AetherCloud): carries agent context, desired state, governed jobs, and multi-cloud coordination.
- [AetherContracts](https://github.com/EvanL1/AetherContracts): defines typed capabilities, shared protocols, schemas, and conformance tests.

## Non-negotiable runtime invariants

- Agents propose automations; they do not directly control devices.
- Shared contracts and policy validate change before execution.
- AetherEdge has final authority over physical device control.
- Commissioned edge behavior continues when the cloud, network, or model is unavailable.
