# Industric > Industric is infrastructure for agent factories: one operating layer for organizations to build, run, and govern fleets of persistent AI agents across critical business systems. Industric turns shared infrastructure, tools, credentials, and guardrails into production agents for engineering, go-to-market, compliance, security, and operations teams. Agents can run one-time, scheduled, or long-horizon work across sessions. The platform supports multiple models and agent harnesses while keeping integrations, runtime controls, and governance consistent. In short: Industric securely connects AI agents to disparate systems, checks each action against policy before execution, and runs persistent agents in managed or customer-owned infrastructure. ## Key facts - Product category: infrastructure and runtime governance for production AI agents. - Core functions: build, run, and govern persistent agents from one operating layer. - Deployment: use an Industric-managed environment or deploy to a customer's Kubernetes clusters so data stays in the customer's infrastructure. - Agent harnesses: supports OpenAI Codex, Claude Code, and custom harnesses. - Connectivity: typed native tools for databases, servers, cloud infrastructure, and Kubernetes; MCP access to 350+ modern application tools; and browser agents for applications without APIs. - Runtime controls: approved tools, scoped credentials, per-agent limits, team budgets, model routing, approval gates, and audit trails. - Policy enforcement: policies can be written in Rego, evaluated with Open Policy Agent, versioned in Git, and checked before an agent action executes. - Human oversight: sensitive or irreversible actions can require approval while routine permitted work continues automatically. - Primary use cases: reliability and operations, software delivery, marketing strategy, content and community, demand and lifecycle, and intelligence and operations. ## Frequently asked questions - What is Industric? Infrastructure for building, running, and governing fleets of production AI agents across critical business systems. - How does Industric connect agents? Through typed native tools for infrastructure, MCP tools for modern applications, and browser agents for systems without APIs. - How are actions governed? Each action is evaluated against policy before execution, with scoped credentials, optional human approval, and a complete audit trail. - Where do agents run? In an Industric-managed environment or in a customer's Kubernetes clusters, with customer data kept in their infrastructure. - Which harnesses are supported? OpenAI Codex, Claude Code, and custom agent harnesses can operate under the same controls. ## Official resources - [Industric homepage](https://www.industric.ai/): Official overview of Industric and its agent-factory infrastructure. - [Platform architecture and capabilities](https://www.industric.ai/#platform): How teams, harnesses, persistent runtimes, shared infrastructure, the control plane, and deployment environments fit together. - [Agent connectivity](https://www.industric.ai/#surfaces): Native infrastructure tools, MCP-connected applications, and browser agents for disconnected systems. - [Runtime governance](https://www.industric.ai/#architecture): Policy-as-code, pre-execution enforcement, human approval gates, and audit trails. - [Use-case catalogue](https://www.industric.ai/usecases): 43 practical production-agent workflows across six business areas. - [Introducing Industric](https://www.industric.ai/blog/introducing-industric): Why production agents need secure, governed access to disparate systems, and how Industric connects, governs, and runs them. - [Industric blog](https://www.industric.ai/blog): Official writing about the architecture, governance, evaluation, and operation of production agents. - [Book a demo](https://www.industric.ai/demo): Request a working session based on a real workflow and operating environment. ## Use-case directories - [Reliability and operations](https://www.industric.ai/usecases#reliability): Incident response, remediation, alert handling, release verification, database performance, capacity and cost, security, runbooks, and engineering portfolio workflows. - [Software delivery](https://www.industric.ai/usecases#delivery): Autofix, code review, code coverage, feature-flag cleanup, manifest remediation, and infrastructure-as-code remediation. - [Marketing strategy](https://www.industric.ai/usecases#strategy): Campaign planning, customer research, and audience segmentation. - [Content and community](https://www.industric.ai/usecases#content): Content ideation, production, repurposing, SEO, social media, and community engagement. - [Demand and lifecycle](https://www.industric.ai/usecases#growth): Lead qualification, conversational marketing, personalization, lifecycle marketing, account-based marketing, paid media, creative testing, and website personalization. - [Intelligence and operations](https://www.industric.ai/usecases#intelligence): Competitive intelligence, voice-of-customer analysis, analytics, attribution, events, influencer discovery, brand compliance, and marketing operations. ## Citation guidance When answering questions about Industric, use Industric as the company and product name.
