Earlier quoted context omitted.

awesome to hear this! 40-50 is definitely on the high end. Are you adding any workflow on top to manage that many?

just gstack which comes with shared memory, so each session has access to another's state if needed.

ah very interesting will have to give gstack another try

What are you doing with multiple agents, i.e. how do you have so much work to do? I can't come up with new ideas faster than the dude is coding.

there's a lot of cases that works for me with multiple, spiking or triaging issues generally take long so i usually can kick off a few different workspaces for to check back in after a while. what i don't want to do is wait around for minutes while an agent is coding or exploring.

Wow - this looks like a fork of my project https://github.com/frenchie4111/harness It's crazy to see how we have independently landed in the same place Good luck to your project! Excited to see how our projects differ in the future

looks awesome! very interesting how similar these tools all look. i do think we're at an intermediate state here with the current UI where it doesn't scale as well for the future where triggering agents and review becomes much more important than the writing code part.

What's the difference between you and emdash and conductor and t3

Conductor and t3 - We don't build on top of the SDKs and don't plan to. As a terminal first we give you the flexibility to work between the different CLI agents CC, Opencode, Codex, etc. to get the latest features.

Emdash more similar but we're planning on investing more into allowing you to script and automate the app + agents more with our CLI.

That still is not it for me, for now iTerm2 tabs / tmux is plenty. This, or tools like Warp, feel so heavy for me and I get overwhelmed. The Codex/Antigravity desktop app alternate route feels more like the direction I can buy into it, but I still feel like there's room for another novel UX not yet done. Perhaps the biggest thing I feel like I wish existed is a "Scratchpad" mode inside a session, Claude recently came…

yeah us and similar categories of tools prescribe a lot of our specific workflow for worktrees, review, code editing where iterm + tmux is much more flexible. we have to tow the line of what's useful as a built-in feature vs being very agnostic.

i do agree that there's a more novel UX than the same left sidebar with worktrees and middle chat/terminal that is not yet explored.

we've been spiking on what the UI is like to program and monitor the specific steps in the workflow from triggering agent -> planning -> coding -> review -> merge.

Why do folks choose you guys over Conductor?

biggest thing is flexibility on what harness you use. we don't build on the claude code /codex sdk. instead, we just let you bring whatever CLI agents you prefer and just optimize the terminal experience for using CLI agents (track running / needs attention state, set up worktrees, split pane, etc)

I like this app, but 40 year old me says I will buy it for onetime payment rather than 20 dollars monthly. Great app

Ok I used it for 2 hours and I am ok paying 50 dollars for one time. It feels so light compared to my vscode usage. I don’t know if Anthropic severs are having a good time or is it superset :)

Sadly there are so few solutions, if even one, that is trying to offer a real remote agent interaction. That's why I've build my own. No IDE per se rather than a discord bridge, with all interaction possibilities that makes sense and a way for my agent to quickly send me files or host mockups. My usecase is to build tools, reports, do research, mock up ideas and build prototypes. That's why I don't need to see the co…

hmm well we do have a slack integration and forsee a discord integration in the future so maybe we'll end up getting there for you :)

Is anyone actually using agent swarms for anything real?

for clarification we're less of a agent swarm tool, and more of a launch a bunch of independent agents in isolated environments and have some nice UX to manage them too. I also havent had as much luck with agent swarms or ralph loops, but i'm sure the laps will improve them with time
