# newt

> newt is an agent runtime for products: one long-lived agent per customer, your backend as its world, and a database's discipline about context. One Rust binary plus Postgres.

Every page is also served as Markdown at its path plus `.md`, for example `/quickstart/` at `/quickstart.md`.

Start with Overview and Quickstart. Protocol and Configuration are the complete reference: when a guide and the Protocol differ, the Protocol is right.
