Thetis, the self-modifying WebAssembly agent
Thetis is an agent whose loop, tools, and chat interface are WebAssembly components it can rewrite while running.
Field notes
Thetis separates its trusted native orchestrator from replaceable WebAssembly guests for the agent loop, gateway, and individual tools. Its stated recovery model gives each conversation a source branch, requires compilation and a smoke test before activation, and advances the shared trunk only after a human merge. The homepage names an existing tool shelf that includes BigQuery, Notion, browser control, Git plumbing, and web search, while the component contract limits what guests can access.
