A frontier coding agent that runs alongside Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor
Run Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and Reason agents on the same repository without conflicts, so each tool handles what it does best.
Start an agent session from a script, CI job, or your own product, then poll or stream the result through a REST endpoint.
Give each Reason agent a name and team, and watch it work in a shared workspace alongside your human teammates.
Mention Reason in a Slack thread and get back a pull request, presentation, or answer once the task is finished.
A general-purpose AI agent that executes tasks, not just answers them
Give the agent a goal and it plans the steps, chooses tools, and works through the task in a cloud environment without constant supervision.
Produces finished artifacts such as slide decks, functional websites, small games, and formatted documents rather than raw text.
Runs broad, multi-source investigations and compiles the findings into a structured report.
Generates images, video, and music as part of a larger task or as standalone outputs.
Provides powerful reasoning agents and deep research, but lacks Manus's specialized continuous cloud workspace execution.

Features advanced computer use and interactive artifacts, but operates primarily as a chat assistant rather than a dedicated autonomous agent platform.
