A desktop application for orchestrating multi-agent AI coding sessions. Launch coordinated teams of AI coding assistants (Claude, Codex, Gemini, Antigravity, etc.) that work together on complex software tasks.
- Hive Mode: Queen + Workers architecture for coordinated development
- Swarm Mode: Hierarchical planners with domain-specific mini-hives
- Fusion Mode: Parallel competing implementations with best-pick resolution
- Session Persistence: Save and resume sessions across app restarts
- Multi-CLI Support: Works with Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Gemini CLI, Antigravity CLI (agy), and more
- Real-time Monitoring: Watch all agents work simultaneously with live terminal output
- Git Integration: Automatic branch management and coordination

- Choose a session type (Hive, Swarm, or Fusion)
- Configure your agents (CLI, model, roles)
- Click Launch
Traditional Queen + Workers setup. The Queen coordinates and delegates tasks to specialized Workers.
Hierarchical architecture with Planners that each manage their own mini-hive of Workers. Great for large, multi-domain projects.
Launch multiple agents working on the same task in parallel. Compare approaches and pick the best solution.
| CLI | Behavior | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Claude Code | Action-Prone | Anthropic's official CLI. Needs role hardening for worker agents. |
| Antigravity CLI | Action-Prone | Google's agy (successor to Gemini CLI). Default for the frontend role in Hive worker mode. Model + verbosity live in ~/.gemini/antigravity-cli/settings.json — no --model flag. After installing agy, restart Hive Manager so the spawn environment picks up the new User PATH entry. agy -p silently drops stdout in non-TTY contexts; affects Solo-mode antigravity launches only. Hive worker mode is unaffected. |
| Gemini CLI | Action-Prone | Google's legacy CLI. Selectable but deprecates 2026-06-18; prefer Antigravity for new work. |
| Codex | Explicit-Polling | OpenAI's CLI. Uses bash loops for coordination. |
| OpenCode | Explicit-Polling | Open-source alternative. |
| Qwen | Instruction-Following | Follows instructions literally, respects role boundaries naturally. |
| Droid | Interactive | TUI mode with /model command for model selection. |
| Cursor | Interactive | Runs via WSL. Uses global model setting. |
Behavior profiles determine how Hive Manager prompts each agent:
- Action-Prone: Proactive agents that need strong constraints to stay in their lane
- Instruction-Following: Literal interpreters that respect role boundaries naturally
- Explicit-Polling: Agents that need bash loops for coordination
- Interactive: TUI-based agents with different prompt injection
