Conductor
A Mac app for running several coding agents at once — Claude Code, Codex or Cursor — each in its own git worktree with a separate workspace, branch, terminal, diff and review. It keeps parallel work from colliding and plugs into GitHub. Free to use; it runs on your existing Claude or Codex subscription. Apple Silicon only. From the YC-backed team, ~$22M raised.

Our take
Conductor lets you run a team of coding agents in parallel on a Mac, each isolated in its own git worktree so their changes don't step on each other. It's free and rides your existing Claude Code or Codex login, so there's little reason not to try it. The catch is it's Mac-only on Apple Silicon, which rules out Windows, Linux and Intel Macs.
Best for
Developers already using Claude Code or Codex who want to run several agents at once on isolated branches and review each diff cleanly.
Pros
- Run multiple agents in parallel, each isolated
- Free — uses your existing model subscription
- Per-task workspace, branch, terminal and diff
- Direct GitHub integration
Cons
- Mac-only, Apple Silicon required
- Paid collaboration features not shipped yet
- You still pay your own model/token costs
How it compares
Versus Cursor's background agents (in our catalog), Conductor is local-first — work runs on your machine in worktrees rather than a managed cloud, which suits developers who want control or offline capability.
Full review
Conductor is a Mac app for running several coding agents at the same time — Claude Code, Codex or Cursor — each in its own isolated workspace. It uses git worktrees so parallel tasks get a separate branch, files, terminal, diff and review path, which keeps the agents from stepping on each other's changes.
It's free and runs on your existing Claude or Codex subscription, so there's little setup cost to try it, and it integrates with GitHub for managing repositories. The main limitation is platform: it's Mac-only and needs Apple Silicon, so Windows, Linux and Intel Macs are out for now. It comes from a small, YC-backed team that has raised about $22 million.

Composio
Composio provides the execution infrastructure that connects AI agents to real software. It sits at the tooling and connectivity layer of the agent stack, giving developers one framework - SDKs, a CLI and 850+ pre-built connectors - to let agents act across apps such as GitHub, Slack and Salesforce. It handles the hard parts: complex authentication and OAuth, plus remote sandboxed environments for safe execution, exposed over the Model Context Protocol so agents can reason and then reliably take action. The platform is built for production, with SOC 2 and ISO 27001:2022 certifications and deployment across public cloud, VPC and on-premises. Composio operates from San Francisco and Bangalore and raised a $25M Series A led by Lightspeed, with angels including Vercel's Guillermo Rauch and HubSpot's Dharmesh Shah.
LiteLLM
LiteLLM, from BerriAI, is an open-source AI gateway that gives you a single OpenAI-compatible interface to 140+ providers and 2,500+ models, including OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Bedrock, Azure, Mistral, Ollama and vLLM. You can use it as a lightweight Python SDK for direct calls, or deploy the proxy server as a centralized gateway for a team, with virtual keys, budgets, load balancing, rate limiting, request logging and LLM guardrails. It has become a default building block in the AI stack, with 45,000+ GitHub stars, 240M+ Docker pulls and over a billion requests served, and is used by companies including Netflix, Adobe and Stripe. The core is free; an enterprise tier adds JWT auth, SSO/SAML, audit logs, SLAs and dedicated support.
