Exo is a systems approach to recursive self improvement. In short, it's a complete AI agent harness (supporting tools, tasks, integrations, etc. similar to OpenClaw, Pi or Hermes), with the crucial difference that it has full visibility into both its code and runtime logs. This allows Exo to incrementally improve every aspect of itself, clone itself, and even manage a lineage of clones.

While most agents can do some form of self improvement, such as updating memory or creating skills, Exo is fully recursive in that it can clone or operate on any aspect of itself, from prompts, to memory, tooling, or even basic harness policy itself. It's architected so that this evolution can be done incrementally and (mostly) safely. The only thing it can't muck with is an event log which provides a canonical history of what it's tried to prevent getting stuck in recursive loops.
