REALM Framework
An open operating framework for companies where humans and AI agents work as one crew. The company is the world, the human is the player, the agents are the characters, and the knowledge base is the world itself.
The roles
The human sets direction, the agents do what they do best, and everything is written back to a shared knowledge base. Not every piece of work uses every class, and the order varies, but this is the pattern.
- Player
- Hunter
- Mage
- Bard
- Warrior
- Cleric
- Codex
Why
When I started with OpenClaw and got deep into the idea of a company of one with agents, I lost track: what is happening right now, what are the agents doing, what have they done. A board alone does not help. And Scrum and the classic frameworks fail because they are made for humans, for meetings and calendars, not for one human and n agents who share their context through text. So I built the framework I needed, and I work by it myself.
Insight
This is what my setup looks like: Slack for talking to the agents, OpenClaw as the base, a plain folder-and-text structure as the shared knowledge, Obsidian to look at it, Trello as the board. Models from OpenAI and Anthropic, plus local ones via Ollama for testing. The website runs on Next.js and Vercel, the LMS with Supabase. A GitHub repo documents the framework, a custom GPT helps newcomers, the videos are made with NotebookLM, the comics with Grok and GPT.
Screens
Saga
Saga is the agent that runs the channels for the REALM Framework. In the framework's language she is a Bard: she makes content and talks to people, while the Codex records what comes of it. The clips show her as she appears on X.
The videos are entirely AI-generated, by me. That is the point: anyone building an agent that appears in public has to be able to give it a face and a voice.
What belongs to it
- From live operation
- The framework did not come off a drawing board. It grew out of running Niflheim Records, and is developed from there.
- For the company of one
- It addresses solopreneurs working with agents, whether from zero or from a setup that grew without structure.
- Open and free
- Freely available, plus a PDF, a starter kit, GitHub, videos and a learning platform at lms.realmframework.org.
Turning something from an idea into a reality can make it seem smaller. It changes from unearthly to earthly.
