## Dryade: Self-hosted AI Orchestration Platform for Data Sovereignty & Edge Computing

Dryade is a self-hosted AI orchestration platform designed to address data privacy risks, vendor lock-in, and network dependency issues of cloud-based AI services. It supports local LLM deployment, multi-agent orchestration, RAG, visual workflow building, and edge hardware integration, empowering users to retain data sovereignty while leveraging AI capabilities.

## Background: Cloud Dependency Pain Points & Dryade's Birth

Most AI applications rely on cloud services, leading to three core issues:
1. Data privacy risks (sensitive data exposure, compliance barriers for regulated industries)
2. Vendor lock-in (high migration costs, limited bargaining power)
3. Network dependency (unusable in offline/edge environments)
Dryade was created to solve these by enabling self-hosted AI operations without external data transmission.

## Core Features of Dryade

Key features include:
- **Multi-model support**: Local models (vLLM/Ollama: Llama, Qwen, Mistral), cloud APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic), custom endpoints
- **Multi-agent orchestration**: Chat (dialogue), Planner (task decomposition), Orchestrate (autonomous workflow) modes
- **MCP integration**: Connects to external tools/services via Model Context Protocol
- **RAG**: Built-in document processing, vectorization, semantic search for accurate responses
- **Visual workflow**: Drag-and-drop builder (ReactFlow) for low-code/no-code AI workflows
- **Plugin ecosystem**: Extensible via plugins (official market planned)

## Technical Architecture & Edge Hardware Support

**Architecture**: Frontend (React/TypeScript), Backend (FastAPI), Orchestrator (ReAct loop), Tool Router (semantic+regex), LLM providers
**Agent adapters**: MCP, CrewAI, ADK, LangChain, A2A
**Edge support**: Optimized for NVIDIA Jetson (edge AI), DGX Spark (desktop AI), general GPU servers. Use cases: industrial sites, military/government, remote facilities, mobile platforms.

## Deployment Options for Dryade

Deployment methods:
1. **Docker Compose (recommended)**: Clone repo → copy .env → docker compose up -d (defaults to Ollama, configurable)
2. **Manual**: Use uv (Python) and npm (frontend) to start services
3. **Edge hardware**: Specialized guides for Jetson and DGX Spark

## Dryade vs. Alternative Platforms

Dryade's key differentiators (vs Dify, n8n, Langflow):
- Full data sovereignty (zero telemetry)
- Native edge hardware support
- MCP server integration
- Multi-agent framework adapters
- Planned plugin market
These make it stand out for privacy-focused, edge, and flexible AI deployment needs.

## License, Community & Conclusion

**License**: Dryade Source Use License (DSUL) — core features open-source free; enterprise features under separate terms
**Community**: Discord, GitHub Discussions, contribution guides, examples, official docs (dryade.ai/docs)
**Conclusion**: Dryade aligns with trends toward edge-distributed AI, data sovereignty, and transparent control. It's ideal for users prioritizing privacy, offline operation, or avoiding vendor lock-in.
