# AetherIoT > AetherIoT is the open-source, industry-neutral, AI-native runtime platform for physical spaces. Operators begin with a safe-empty edge, prove observation, and explicitly commission governed behavior. ## Agent entry points - [Unified English documentation index](https://docs.aetheriot.dev/llms.txt) - [Unified Chinese documentation index](https://docs.aetheriot.dev/zh/llms.txt) - [Safe commissioning user journeys](https://docs.aetheriot.dev/overview/user-journeys/) - [Product status and roadmap](https://docs.aetheriot.dev/roadmap/status/) - [Version compatibility](https://docs.aetheriot.dev/compatibility/version-matrix/) ## Product repositories - [AetherEdge](https://github.com/EvanL1/AetherEdge): owns live state and deterministically executes commissioned behavior. - [AetherCloud](https://github.com/EvanL1/AetherCloud): carries agent context, desired state, governed jobs, and multi-cloud coordination. - [AetherContracts](https://github.com/EvanL1/AetherContracts): defines typed capabilities, shared protocols, schemas, and conformance tests. - [AetherEMS](https://github.com/EvanL1/AetherEMS): supplies the downstream energy-management Pack, composition, optional Console, and processors. ## Non-negotiable runtime invariants - Agents propose automations; they do not directly control devices. - Shared contracts and policy validate change before execution. - AetherEdge has final authority over physical device control. - Commissioned edge behavior continues when the cloud, network, or model is unavailable.
