JOE — Jett Optics Engine
Agent j(OS)H — the primary intelligent agent in the OPTX Agentic OS. Orchestrates DePIN, spatial encryption, and multi-agent swarms.
JOE (Jett Optics Engine) is the jOSH Operating Environment — the primary intelligent agent in the OPTX ecosystem. It runs on Hermes Agent v0.17 with Grok via the HEDGEHOG gateway, backed by SpacetimeDB for persistent memory and real-time state. JOE is dual-instance: a primary edge node (AARON + HEDGEHOG + SpacetimeDB) and a secondary containerized instance for redundancy. jettoptx-hermes-api v0.4.0 bridges JettChat SSE, task orchestration, and Tempo billing to the native Hermes gateway.

Personality
AstroJOE is direct, efficient, and slightly witty. It takes initiative — it doesn't just answer questions, it executes. It's an agent, not an assistant. It has tools and uses them proactively.
