Orquest AI

Free and open source

Your coding agents, in an office you can watch.

Claude Code, Codex and other AI CLIs work as employees, each in its own copy of the repository. You only talk to the boss: it builds the team, hands out the tasks and reviews the deliveries, and nothing reaches your branch without your approval.

A replica with a sample project that moves on its own: explore it without installing anything.

The Orquest AI pixel office: the boss at its desk and the employees at theirs
A demo with a simulated workday. In the app, each character is a real terminal and each animation reflects its state: it types when working, raises a hand when it needs you, and walks over with its report when it delivers.

How it works

  1. You hire the boss

    Pick the CLI that runs it, give it a name and set the project goal.

  2. The boss proposes the team

    It defines the roles needed and the provider and model for each. You approve, adjust or discard.

  3. Each employee in its own office

    Each employee works in an isolated copy of the repository, without getting in the way of the others.

  4. The boss reviews, you merge

    No change reaches your branch without the boss's review and your approval.

What's included

Chat with the boss and its pending questions

A single point of contact.

You only talk to the boss. Whatever it needs from you stays as a pending question, with suggested answers, until you deal with it.

Project task board

A board with dependencies.

Tasks are chained by dependencies: a task that depends on another doesn't start until that one is merged.

Each account's limit usage

Your account usage.

See how much of each account's limit you've used and choose which one each employee works with.

Supported CLIs

Orquest AI doesn't include models: it runs the CLIs you already have installed and signed in. It needs at least one, plus git.

Requirements

With git and one CLI you can already open the office. The rest is optional: tools your agents put to use if you have them installed in your CLI.

The essentials

  • Git
  • At least one supported CLI, signed in
  • Windows 10 or 11 (macOS and Linux, in testing)
  • Node 22.5 or later, only if you build from source

Recommended, by role

DESIGN
Pencil

Whoever holds the design role draws the screens on a canvas and frontend builds them from there.

QA
Playwright

Opens the app in a browser, walks the flow like a user would and saves screenshots as evidence.

REPOSITORY
GitHub CLI

Reads issues and prepares Pull Requests from the terminal.
