Yeah, even as someone building in the space, I sometimes get confused on what and who I'm actually building for.
What we've settled on is that Omnara is a tool for building agents. It's for people putting agents into their own products or workflows using the API. If you're not going to use the API, you probably don't need Omnara. Think of it like Supabase, Supabase gives you a Postgres database behind an API, and the dashboard is there for convenience, but your app talks to the API. Omnara does the same for agents. The UI is handy for watching and poking at agents, or visual analytics, but the API is the main product.
Or more directly, you can think of it like the codex app server or opencode server. Their clients (e.g. the TUI and desktop apps) talk to that server to start and interact with agents. Omnara is the same kind of server, except it runs in the cloud or on your own servers instead of your laptop. We don't provide a client though, you build that.
