Hand it an issue, review the diff, merge when you are ready
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.
Hand it an issue, review the diff, merge when you are ready
Give it an issue and it reproduces the bug, edits the code, runs your tests and opens a pull request while you focus on decisions.
The agent proposes a task list and names the files it expects to change. You select the tasks, and edits outside the declared scope stop and ask first.
Each step of a task is routed to the model that fits it, with the vendor abstracted behind an effort setting and a stated outcome.
Launch many jobs across projects at the same time. Each agent runs in its own sandbox and reports back with a reviewable diff.
