Kubernetes-native AI agent orchestration — no orchestration graphs required.
Orka turns your cluster into an AI task execution platform. A coordinator agent decomposes complex work, spawns specialist agents to run in parallel, and synthesizes their results — each as an isolated, observable Kubernetes Job.
Quick Start
One Helm install, one LLM secret, and you're chatting with an orchestrator that handles the rest.
Install the controller
Deploy Orka into your cluster with Helm — CRDs, controller, and the built-in dashboard included.
helm install orka charts/orka \
--namespace orka-system \
--create-namespace
Add a provider & chat
Store an LLM key as a Kubernetes Secret, register a Provider, then open the dashboard or any OpenAI-compatible client.
kubectl create secret generic anthropic-secret \
--from-literal=api-key=your-api-key
kubectl port-forward -n orka-system svc/orka-api 8080:8080
# open http://localhost:8080
Highlights
AI Agents
Anthropic, OpenAI, or Azure OpenAI agents with tools, skills, and session persistence.
Multi-Agent Coordination
Coordinators decompose tasks and delegate to specialists with depth and concurrency controls.
Interactive Chat
An agentic orchestrator with SSE streaming that creates and manages agents and tasks for you.
Durable Memory
Namespace-scoped recall, transcript search, and reviewable memory proposals for coordinated agents.
Repository Security Scanning
Scheduled scans with threat models, validated findings, patch generation, and remediation PRs.
OpenAI & Anthropic APIs
Drop-in compatible endpoints for Continue, Cursor, Claude Code, and any OpenAI-native client.
Providers & Runtimes
Bring your own models and coding agents — Orka keeps the credentials in the cluster and gives them a common API.
Anthropic
Claude models through the Provider CRD and an Anthropic-compatible Messages API.
OpenAI
GPT models behind an OpenAI-compatible chat completions endpoint.
Azure OpenAI
Enterprise OpenAI deployments running on Azure.
Agent Runtimes
Delegate to Codex CLI, Claude Code CLI, or GitHub Copilot CLI for autonomous coding.
