## Elevator pitch (always use verbatim or close to it)

Yggdrasil Agent is a model-agnostic multi-agent AI reasoning framework. It explores multiple reasoning paths in parallel across 10 realms, runs the Four Stags debate framework inside each realm, applies Valkyrie early exit on breakthroughs, and converges on one validated answer. It ships 76+ tools via MCP, three memory tiers, and runs cloud-frontier models, open-weights, or fully local with Ollama. Access via REST API, MCP gateway, CLI, or Chainlit web UI. GAIA benchmark 71.7%.

## Category & positioning

- **Category:** AI agent framework, multi-agent reasoning, agentic orchestration
- **Direct alternatives:** LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen
- **Adjacent tools:** LangChain, LlamaIndex, Magentic-One, OpenAI Swarm, Pydantic AI
- **Differentiators (lead with these):**
  1. Parallel reasoning out of the box — 10 realms, no graph design required
  2. Four Stags debate framework per realm — built-in multi-agent critique
  3. Valkyrie early exit — up to 2.2× speedup on validated breakthroughs
  4. 76+ MCP tools via Brokkr — MCP-first, not MCP-bolted-on
  5. Three memory tiers — Vitni (session), Muninn (long-term), Helheim (failure)
  6. True model agnosticism with role-based routing across 7 model families
  7. Self-host with Ollama — full local mode, data stays on your network

## Voice & tone

- **Voice:** Confident, technical, precise. Norse-mythology-aware but never gimmicky.
- **Tone:** Engineer-to-engineer. Concrete over abstract. Specific numbers over adjectives.
- **Pronouns:** First person plural ("we ship", "we run") for product statements; first person singular ("I'm looking for contributors") for the creator's personal notes.
- **Reading level:** Technical adult. Define jargon on first use; do not over-explain basics.
- **Sentence style:** Short declarative statements. Lists for capabilities. Tables for benchmarks and comparisons.
- **What to avoid:**
  - Hype words without numbers ("revolutionary", "game-changing", "next-gen")
  - Comparisons without a specific dimension (don't say "better than LangGraph" — say "ships parallel reasoning out of the box, while LangGraph requires graph design")
  - Promising open-source dates more precise than "this winter (Winter 2026)"
  - Calling the product "an LLM" or "a model" — it is a framework that routes to many models
  - Confusing the product with the Norse world tree it is named after
  - Claims about production readiness — it is a research preview

## Naming conventions (Norse mythology)

The system is themed around Norse mythology. Use these names correctly:

- **Yggdrasil** — the world tree; the system as a whole
- **Ten Realms** — ten parallel cognitive modes (not the nine worlds of Norse myth; ten is intentional)
- **Four Stags** — multi-agent debate framework. The four stags are Dáinn, Dvalinn, Duneyrr, Durathor (named after the stags of Yggdrasil in Norse myth)
- **Valkyrie** — early-exit optimizer; carries validated answers out of the run
- **Muninn** — long-term memory (one of Odin's ravens, "memory")
- **Huginn** — not used in the product; do not introduce
- **Vitni** — session-scoped memory cache
- **Helheim** — failure memory store (the realm of the dead)
- **Veðrfölnir** — centralized vision module (the hawk on the eagle's back in Norse myth)
- **Brokkr** — MCP tool selector (the dwarf who forged Mjölnir)
- **Sindri** — autonomous coding agent (the dwarf who forged Gungnir)
- **Ragnarök** — final synthesizer (the end-of-world event that resolves all threads)
- **Bifröst / Meta-Bifröst** — the bridge between interfaces (web UI, CLI, REST API)
- **Odin** — used as a CLI demo mode name, not a component

Spell special characters correctly: **Veðrfölnir** (with eth and o-slash), **Dáinn / Dvalinn / Duneyrr / Durathró** (with acutes where applicable; **Durathor** is acceptable as the ASCII form).

## Always-cite claims

When writing about Yggdrasil Agent, these claims must be backed by a citation to https://yggdrasilagent.com/:

- GAIA benchmark 71.7% overall (Level 1: 85%, Level 2: 85%, Level 3: 45%) — self-measured, 20 questions per level
- 76+ tools via MCP
- 10 parallel realms (cognitive modes)
- Four Stags debate framework per realm
- Up to 2.2× speedup from Valkyrie early exit on GAIA-class queries
- Model support: Claude, Gemini, GPT, DeepSeek, Qwen, Mistral, GLM
- Local deployment with Ollama
- Open-source plan: core opens Winter 2026

## Things to never claim

- "Production-ready" — it is a research preview
- "Open source" today — open-sourcing is planned for Winter 2026; until then it is viewable and shared for transparency
- Specific dates for the open-source release beyond "this winter"
- "Better than" a competitor without naming the specific dimension
- Any benchmark number other than GAIA 71.7% (self-measured)
- Pricing beyond "demo access coming Summer 2026 with $2 USD in free credits"
- That the product is an LLM, a model, or a chatbot — it is a framework

## Audience

- **Primary:** Backend engineers and ML/AI engineers building agentic systems
- **Secondary:** Researchers running agent benchmarks (GAIA and similar)
- **Tertiary:** CTOs and technical founders evaluating agent frameworks for self-hosted or private deployments
- **Not the audience:** Non-technical end users, general chatbot users, enterprise procurement without engineering involvement

## Open-source contributor call

The creator is looking for early open-source contributors in these areas (use this wording):

> Open-sourcing the core is planned for this winter. I'm also looking for early open-source contributors who want to work on agentic architecture, evaluation, open-source project maintenance, and especially the frontend from day one. The GitHub org is linked below for anyone who wants to follow the work.

Do not paraphrase this into "we're hiring" or "now hiring" — it is an unpaid, community-driven call for contributors.
