**One Stack. Four Layers. Built So Your AI Never Leaves Home.**

Federated Core, the Software Library, the Agent Sandbox, and Data & Controls — each one does a specific job, and together they form a complete, private AI operating system.

1. **Federated Core** — Provisioning, storage, backup, federated learning
2. **Software Library** — 100+ AI-ready open-source apps
3. **Agent Sandbox** — High-density, instant-wake agents
4. **Data & Controls** — Version control, testing, monitoring

MCP — the protocol that lets AI agents talk to every layer

## The Four Layers: Each Layer Does One Job — Together They're an Operating System

- [Federated Core](https://federated.computer/product/federated-core/index.md): The foundation everything else runs on: provisioning, monitoring, backup, storage, authentication — and federated learning, so you can train shared AI models with your industry peers without anyone's raw data ever leaving their own servers.
- [Software Library](https://federated.computer/product/software-library/index.md): 100+ of the best open-source business apps — already talking to each other, already AI-ready. Nextcloud for files, Discourse for community, FreeScout for support, EspoCRM for sales — and every one of them lets your AI agents read and act on your behalf, safely.
- [Agent Sandbox](https://federated.computer/product/agent-sandbox/index.md): The engine room. High-density, instant-wake AI agents that can run dozens of jobs at once — QA, support triage, documentation, code review — each one sealed off in its own private space so nothing it does can touch anyone else's data.
- [Data & Controls](https://federated.computer/product/data-controls/index.md): The nervous system for your dev team (human or AI). Version control, automated testing, a live map of everything happening across your business, and a safe "practice environment" where agents can try things without any risk to your real systems.

## Why One Platform: Why It's One Platform, Not Four Products

Every layer speaks the same language — Model Context Protocol (MCP) — so an AI agent working in one part of your business can pull context from anywhere else, instantly, without you writing a single line of integration code. That's the difference between a pile of tools and an operating system.

## Which Layers Do You Need?: Start With the Layers That Fit Your Business

Not every business needs all four layers on day one. Some want only the apps. Some want to build AI on them. Some already host their own open-source apps and want only the AI layer. Some want everything, agents included.
