Own, extend, and commercialize your AI workflows

Vocion is open source under MPL-2.0, so your company can self-host it, modify it, embed it, and commercialize what you build on top. Open framework underneath; proprietary value on top.

Vocion Team

Some AI workflows are internal productivity tools. Others become part of how your company delivers work, serves clients, or creates new products. Vocion is built for both.

Open-source foundation (MPL-2.0)

Vocion is licensed under the Mozilla Public License 2.0. Teams can run it, inspect it, modify it, and embed it inside a larger proprietary system. MPL's copyleft is file-level: if you distribute a modified version of Vocion's own files, those files stay under MPL — the code you write in your own files does not. For business buyers, the practical meaning is simple:

Your proprietary workflows, integrations, business rules, data models, prompts, evals, client experience, and deployment architecture remain part of your own business.

When you need a commercial license

A short list of uses sits outside what the open license grants, and those are a separate agreement with Metacto: shipping Vocion under your own brand or on proprietary terms, operating a Metacto-backed managed service or reselling Vocion-as-a-service, the proprietary enterprise modules (hosted control plane, fleet management, advanced security and compliance), and commercial warranties, indemnification, SLAs, or support. Everything else — running Vocion in your own environment at any scale, modifying it, operating it internally, building proprietary applications and connectors around it — is yours by right under the open license, with no framework license fees. See COMMERCIAL-LICENSE.md in the repo, or email licensing@metacto.com.

Built for deep integration and productization

Real AI workflows rarely live in one tool — they need CRM records, support tickets, transcripts, documents, databases, internal APIs, customer portals, approval rules, and human judgment. Vocion sits underneath as the agent operations layer. A workflow can start as a manual process, become an AI-assisted internal workflow, then a reviewed operating process, then a client-facing capability exposed through your app, portal, API, Slack, Teams, or MCP clients.

Open foundation, proprietary value

Vocion provides the reusable foundation. Your company creates the proprietary value on top — domain-specific workflows, customer logic, business rules, integrations, review processes, client experiences, evaluation datasets, and productized services. That's how AI becomes owned operating leverage, not another tool subscription.
