# Zolva > Open-source, self-hosted agent platform for banks and fintechs. Agents are > declared in YAML + Markdown config; tools are the bank's own APIs registered > as typed Python functions; guardrails (incl. per-customer contact caps), > PII redaction before provider calls, evals, feedback loop, hash-chained > audit with pluggable storage, human handover with a resume path, and > synthetics attach to every step via a middleware bus. Ships a read-only > team dashboard and a reference HTTP entrypoint (`zolva serve`). > pip-installable, runs entirely inside the bank's infrastructure. > Apache-2.0. https://zolva.ai Install: `pip install zolva` (dev: `pip install -e ".[dev]"`). Python >=3.11. Entry points: `zolva.AgentApp.from_config("agents/")`, `@zolva.tool`, CLI `zolva validate `, `zolva serve`, `zolva dashboard`. ## Docs - [AGENTS.md](AGENTS.md): exact setup, verify, and convention instructions for AI coding agents - [README.md](README.md): quickstart and public API - [Playbooks](https://zolva.ai/playbooks/): thirteen production playbooks.
