Kern is a multi-channel AI agent platform that runs a single, continuous agent session across Slack, Telegram, terminal, and web interfaces, with a file-based, inspectable memory system. It's interesting because it treats a folder as the complete agent—with plain text files for behavior, identity, and knowledge—and requires no external infrastructure, making agents fully portable and transparent.

Target audience: devops, backend devs
