Open-source multi-agent AI framework that runs in a Dockerized sandbox with code execution, browser automation, subordinate agents, and a memory system for building autonomous coding and research workflows.
Key Capabilities
Spawns subordinate agents to distribute complex tasks across a multi-agent hierarchy
Runs in a Dockerized Linux sandbox with full code execution (Python, Node.js, Bash)
Built-in browser and private search engine for autonomous web research and scraping
Hybrid memory system learns from past interactions and adapts to your workflow over time
Standout Features
Multi-Agent Hierarchy
Spawn subordinate agents with dedicated prompts and tools to distribute complex tasks across an orchestrated team.
Dockerized Sandbox
Every agent runs in an isolated Docker container with shell, code execution, and browser, safe experimentation without risk to your system.
Hybrid Memory System
Agents learn from past interactions with auto-consolidation and AI-filtered memory loading for persistent, context-aware behavior.

EVERY TOOL VIBE-CODERS SHOULD KNOW ABOUT: @claudeai for coding + debugging, @cursor_ai as AI code editor, @Replit for cloud coding + deployment.
Claude for coding ($20/mo), Supabase for backend (Free), Vercel for deploying (Free), Stripe for payments. The full vibe coder stack for under $35/mo.
The entire AI coding industry just got exposed. Someone leaked the system architecture of every major tool, 30,000+ lines of hidden instructions.
