Best for

A startup that wants a self-hosted Slack+web company agent — per-person sandboxes, shared rooms, and swappable Pi/OpenCode/Codex/Claude Code on Fly or AWS (README optional third-party hosted try at agent37.com/qm).

Skip if

You want a first-party hosted ADE (Conductor) with zero cloud ops, a local worktree desktop (T3/Termic/Orca), or Slack Code’s partner channels without any self-host — not the README’s optional third-party try at agent37.com/qm.

Who it fits

  • A startup that wants a self-hosted Slack+web company agent — per-person sandboxes, shared rooms, and swappable Pi/OpenCode/Codex/Claude Code on Fly or AWS (README optional third-party hosted try at agent37.com/qm).
  • Builders who start in the browser without a local IDE setup
  • Terminal-first engineers who live in the shell and git
Experimental

Pros

YC MIT multiplayer agent harness for a whole startup: each person and Slack/web room gets scoped memory, files, keychain, crons, and a durable sandbox; swap Pi, OpenCode, Codex, or Claude Code on the same core; deploy in your own Fly or AWS account (`npx @yc-software/qm` init); shared skills, inbound webhooks, and internal web apps.

Cons

Early experimental software (their SECURITY.md); you operate Postgres, identity, and the cloud account on the primary self-host path — no first-party hosted ADE (README notes an optional third-party hosted try at agent37.com/qm); orchestration only (bring harness subscriptions); Slack Code is the no-ops alternative if you only want partner agents inside Slack.
