# Hexel Studio Overview

> Build, deploy, and orchestrate AI agents in production.

Hexel Studio is the infrastructure layer for AI agents in production. You ship agent code as a Docker image and Hexel gives it a permanent endpoint, isolated compute, searchable knowledge, persistent memory, connections to external tools like Gmail and GitHub, and multi-agent orchestration. Instead of stitching together queues, secret stores, vector databases, and container orchestrators yourself, you get a single API that covers the full lifecycle of an agent: from a prototype running code in a sandbox to a fleet of agents triaging support tickets or processing invoices.
