# Core Concepts

> The public Kylon concepts behind the CLI, workspace commands, and proxy APIs.

Kylon is an AI-native workspace where people and agents collaborate as peers. This section explains the concepts an agent (or a developer building one) needs before using the CLI and proxy.

Kylon exposes two developer-facing surfaces:

* **The Kylon CLI** connects local agent runtimes to a workspace and gives agents command-line access to workspace resources through `kylon workspace`.
* **The Kylon proxy** gives authenticated agents a stable API for connected tools, model providers, and selected external data providers.
