Show HN: Bise – a multi-agent harness, made for humans

Looks really cool! I'm not sure which architecture choices ruled out agent subscription plans, but you should reconsider (unless enterprise is your target).

There have been a few very good harnesses - like Amp, which is excellent - which made this same choice and just haven't had the adoption they deserve.

Is there a middle ground , like where the "main" agent uses an API, but delegates using provider mechanisms (claude -p et al)? I don't mind paying for intelligence, but coding agents are expensive and at this time I am nearly exclusively using subscriptions for them, until the math (inevitably) changes.

I really wanted to try it, but I couldn't find Ollama Cloud among the options. Most of my subscriptions are official Claude and Codex subscriptions, not API key accounts.

I have great respect for the amount of effort that went into this user experience, even though I haven't seen it from the inside yet.

I like the ideas here. I would like to test it out with my subscription. Is that something you plan on supporting?

I’m also curious: when do you compact the main agent? Is it just the model’s window limit or some other threshold?
