# The Osiris Platform

Realization of the Osiris vision requires a well-designed, efficient, and flexible underlying software platform that provides the protocols and tools necessary for AI agents to integrate into the network. Creating a platform that fully embodies the Osiris concept will be a medium-term effort, but significant progress has been made since development started in August 2017. This section describes in moderate depth the software architecture for the beta version of the platform released in February 2019 and then makes some higher-level observations about features and improvements to be added post-beta.
