We're building DevSwarm, and it's aiming to strike the balance between agentic coding in parallel without losing your IDE. Each workspace (worktree) gets a dedicated vscode instance, and in that instance we make it easy to fire up Claude Code, Codex, etc. Would love to hear if it hits the sweet spot we're going for.

CTO Here!

Definitely lots of parallels with Conductor, here's where I think we differentiate specifically.

* The interface to interact with your AI is a full IDE (our minimal fork of vscode) with a focus on the CLI AI

* Further, each workspace gets their own IDE with all the functionality that implies

* We support a bunch of different CLI AI

* Since it's a vscode fork, you have access to the open source extension marketplace so you can even use the extension AI's like Roo Code in parallel (or your favorite CLI AI's extension like the Claude Code extension which you can see in our video!)

* I believe our take on running your app in parallel is a bit different (I may be wrong though!). We provide a means to name variables that will bind to ports so your parallel runs of your app don't fight over ports

* Github PR review right in DevSwarm, leave comments and approvals! We are definitely in the same space for sure, our aim with DevSwarm 2.0 was to make the transition to multi-task/parallel development less of a sheer cliff.

For many folks diving into AI First development multi-tasking with worktrees was really intuitive, but taking a step back it's a pretty huge ask to make that pivot. DevSwarm 2.0 we think really helps bridge that gap.

Feedback on your app, I love that I can see the connectivity of the MCP servers right there. I always get jarred when Atlassian disconnects and suddenly my AI wants to hit the Jira REST API for some reason.

Validating to see projects like these coming to life. I'd also love your feedback on our take of this development approach! We started https://devswarm.ai about 6 months ago and we're aiming to solve this problem in similar ways!

* Agent UI is the CLI itself, no wrapper UI.

* Isolate your work with worktrees (though we do our best to make sure you never have to think about them!)

* Many agents to choose from (Claude, Codex, Gemini, Amp, etc), and more to come!

* Features to support running your app in parallel (port vars, untracked file copying).

* Basics like code editor, git commit UI, branch diff UI.

* Easy access to your local IDE from the worktree.

* Soft launch of our Jira integration if you click on the repository name in the sidebar and click “Jira”, start your agents quickly right from a backlog-esque view of your work! (Next release will integrate Jira into onboarding)

We’ve been building DevSwarm with DevSwarm and building like this is just unreal. Honestly can't imagine building any other way now.
