An artificial intelligence agent runtime turns instructions and context into an operating process. It coordinates model requests, tool invocation, memory, retries, streaming, cancellation, logging, and the boundaries that determine which files, networks, credentials, or applications an agent may access.
Collaboration software can sit above several runtimes without replacing them. This separation lets teams coordinate through one workspace while agents retain the specialized tools, connectors, subscriptions, and execution behavior of their underlying runtime.
