The developer stays in command.
AI moves fast. We're building the workspace that keeps developers and teams in front of it, with full visibility, real control, and the tedious plumbing already done.
AI agents are everywhere. Most developers can't see what they're doing.
Every week another agent CLI ships. Every team is trying to wire them into real codebases. And most developers are watching that happen from the sidelines, hoping the right reviewer caught the bad commit.
We started Agent Cohort because we kept being that developer. Three terminals open, two CLIs out of sync, no clear answer to "what did the agent just touch?". The fix wasn't another chatbot. It was a workspace.
So that's what we built. One dock per project. Every agent CLI in it. Every action visible. Every integration consented. Every plugin removable. The familiar shape of the IDE you already use, with the AI plumbing handled and nothing running unless you opted in.
The dev who masters AI tooling won't be replaced by it. We're building for that dev.
Six things we hold true.
The product is downstream of these. When we make a call, we check it against the list.
-
01
The developer stays in command.
AI agents are tools. Tools need an operator. Anything that erodes your visibility erodes your judgment, and we won't ship it.
-
02
Familiar over flashy.
You already know how to work. Terminals, IDEs, version control, the keyboard shortcuts you built up over a decade. We extend that workflow. We don't replace it.
-
03
Lightweight by default.
A blank dock is the right starting state. Every surface, every integration, every plugin is something you opt into. Nothing runs without your consent and nothing runs in the background unannounced.
-
04
The tedium is on us.
Installation, MCP wiring, security review, sandboxing, auth. The bits we'd all rather not deal with. Our job is to do them once so you don't redo them every project.
-
05
Teams need a real workflow.
AI is changing how teams ship code, fast. Shared plugin allow-lists, per-project policy, audit of every consent. Your team gets a workflow, not a free-for-all.
-
06
Real developers. Real agents. Real repos.
Not demos. Not toy CLIs. The agents you actually use, wired into the codebases you actually ship. If it doesn't work on a real repo, it doesn't ship.
The next decade is humans and agents, side by side.
The teams that come out ahead aren't the ones that hand the codebase to a model and hope. They're the ones that built the human-and-agent pairing on their terms, with audit, control, and craft intact.
Agent Cohort is the workspace for those teams. One dock per project, every agent in it, every action visible, every integration consented, every plugin removable. A workflow that scales from "I want to try Codex on this branch" to "every senior on the team uses three agents and we still have an audit trail."
We're at the start of that. Early access today. The full team workflow on the roadmap. The principles above, kept honest by the people building this on their own real projects.
