Open-Source Catch-Up, Cleaner Docs, and Agentbot Coach

A fresh update for the open-source community: safer public repos, cleaner release notes, better SDK docs, and a clearer onboarding path for new builders.

Open SourceDocsSDKOnboarding

We spent this stretch doing the less glamorous but more important work: catching the public repos up without carrying private operational details forward. That means better release notes, cleaner docs, a public SDK surface that is easier to understand, and a stronger onboarding story for people arriving at Agentbot for the first time.

What We Updated

—agentbot-opensource got a safety cleanup, public-safe release notes for v1.0.0, and a starter SDK client under sdk/agentbot.
—agentbot-sdk now has its first public GitHub release: v0.1.0.
—Mintlify docs were updated to reflect the current public SDK surfaces and the right health-check path.

Public repos now line up more clearly:

→ self-host + reference app: agentbot-opensource
→ standalone SDK and CLI surface: agentbot-sdk
→ user-facing docs: mintlify-docs

Why This Matters

Open source trust is cumulative. It is not enough to publish code once and hope the public surface stays understandable forever. If release notes drift, docs age, and repos expose the wrong details, new users lose confidence before they even build their first agent.

So this update is about tightening the contract with the community: what is public should be intentional, documented, and safe to build on.

Enter Agentbot Coach

We also want onboarding to feel less like reading scattered setup docs and more like being guided by a product-native mentor. That is the direction behind Agentbot Coach.

Agentbot Coach is the onboarding layer we want new users to meet first: a clear guide that helps you pick the right path, understand the difference between the self-host repo and the SDK repo, and get from zero to first agent without guessing which surface to use.

Agentbot Coach should help new users do three things well:

1. Choose the right starting point: cloud, self-host, or SDK.

2. Understand the first meaningful action, not just the install command.

3. Reach a first win quickly: create an agent, deploy it, or integrate the API.

New User Path

For new users, the onboarding story is now simpler:

—Want the full app and self-hosted stack? Start with agentbot-opensource.
—Want the SDK and CLI surface? Start with agentbot-sdk.
—Want docs and reference material? Use the docs, now updated to match the public SDK surfaces.

What's Next

—More consistent release hygiene across the public repos
—Stronger first-run onboarding for self-hosters and SDK users
—A clearer Agentbot Coach experience that reduces setup friction for new builders

If you're new here, start with the docs, then pick your surface: app, SDK, or self-host. If you're already in the community, thank you for helping us keep the public surface sharp.
