AI-native developers and software teams that need cloud-based, collaborative, parallel coding-agent workspaces with isolated branches and live terminals
About Whim
Whim is a cloud dev workspace for running AI coding agents at the speed of thought. It lets developers run AI coding agents like Claude Code and Codex in isolated cloud containers instead of running them locally on a laptop. Each task gets its own sandboxed Ubuntu environment with full shell access, git branch isolation, and real-time terminal streaming, allowing developers and teams to use AI coding agents in daily workflows with parallelism, collaboration, and zero local setup. Users can connect a repo, write a prompt, and the AI agent starts working in a secure cloud container accessible from any device. Multiple tasks can run simultaneously, making it possible to try different approaches, work on separate features, or let an orchestrator coordinate a squad of agents without them stepping on each other’s toes. Whim supports Claude and GPT models through native CLI runtimes, with additional models planned through OpenRouter.

Polyscope
Polyscope is an agent-first development environment designed to orchestrate and run multiple AI coding agents in parallel, allowing developers to automate complex software engineering workflows. It works with advanced coding models such as Claude Code and OpenAI Codex, enabling users to launch several agents simultaneously while maintaining separate, isolated workspaces for each task. Each agent operates inside its own copy-on-write environment, which allows the system to safely experiment with different approaches, modify files, and test changes without affecting the original project. It enables developers to run dozens of AI agents concurrently to generate code, analyze repositories, perform debugging, or experiment with alternative solutions across the same codebase. Itis delivered as a native macOS tool designed for high-performance agent execution, giving engineers a centralized interface to observe agent progress and manage tasks.

VibeKit
VibeKit is a simple, open source SDK for safely running Codex and Claude Code agents in secure, customizable sandboxes. It enables you to embed coding agents directly in your app or workflow via a drop‑in SDK. import VibeKit and VibeKitConfig, and call generateCode with prompts, modes, and streaming callbacks for live output handling. VibeKit runs code in fully isolated private sandboxes, supports customizable environments where you can install packages, and is model‑agnostic, letting you choose any compatible Codex or Claude model. It streams agent output efficiently, maintains full prompt and code history, provides async run handling, integrates with GitHub for commits, branches, and pull requests, and supports telemetry and tracing (via OpenTelemetry). Compatible sandbox providers include E2B (today), with Daytona, Modal, Fly.io, and others coming soon, plus support for any runtime that meets your security needs.

Agent Computer
AgentComputer is a cloud-based infrastructure platform designed specifically for running AI agents in isolated, fully functional virtual environments. It provides “cloud computers” in the form of lightweight Ubuntu-based sandboxes that can be provisioned in under a second, allowing developers to quickly spin up, access, and manage environments through a command-line interface. These environments include persistent storage, meaning any installed tools, files, or configurations remain intact across restarts, enabling continuous and stateful workflows. It is built around an agent-first architecture, where AI agents can directly execute tasks within these environments via SSH, eliminating friction between instruction and execution. It includes an integrated AI harness that supports agents such as Claude, Codex, and other coding assistants, enabling collaborative, multi-agent workflows within the same system.

Conductor
Conductor lets you run a team of coding agents on your Mac, giving each Claude Code or Codex agent its own isolated workspace so you can parallelize software work without losing control. Add your repo, and Conductor clones it and works entirely on your Mac. Deploy agents, and each one gets a separate git worktree where it can work independently. Then conduct: see who is working, what needs attention, review code, and merge finished branches. Conductor is built around the idea that developers are becoming AI managers, coordinating many agents at once instead of working through a single chat. It supports Claude Code and Codex, with model selection, Plan Mode, Fast Mode, reasoning controls when available, checkpoints, skills, and agent-specific session controls. Plan Mode asks the agent to make a plan before editing files, making it useful for broad, risky, ambiguous, or multi-file changes.
