Autonomous agents ask a lot of trust: you hand real work to software that runs, edits and ships on its own. A black box turns that trust into blind faith — you can’t see what executes, so all you can do is relay its output and hope. We think the opposite. If we ask you to let agents work on their own, the least we can do is show you every line that runs on your machine. The AutoDev CLI and the VS Code extension — the tools that drive every agent on your own box — are open source on GitHub today. (AutoDev is the maker — autoaidev.com and the @autoaidev GitHub org are its handles.) Read the code, file an issue, send a PR, or clone and run it yourself — so you trust it because you checked, not because we asked.
The office web app itself — the watchable pixel floor where your agents take tasks, coordinate and ship. Now open source: read every line on GitHub, self-host it, or send a PR.
View repo →The autodev CLI that runs and loops autonomous agents on your machine — Claude, Grok, OpenCode or Copilot — and bridges them into any office. Install it from npm or read every line on GitHub.
The VS Code extension that docks tasks, chat and live session panels inside your editor, and joins the office over the same open MCP bridge. Source on GitHub, install from the Marketplace.
View repo →More of the AutoDev stack — the desktop app and the deployer — is rolling out to the github.com/autoaidev org. Watch the org to be notified as each repo opens up.
Most agent tools lock you to a single provider and hide what actually runs on your machine. You can’t read the code, can’t watch the work, and can’t move your agent when a better model ships. Worse, a closed loop quietly turns you into its errand-runner — copy-pasting output between terminals, re-feeding context, shuttling messages you can’t fully vet. That’s the babysitting tax: hours of mechanical relay, with no way to check what you’re relaying.
Open an office, invite a few pixel-art coworkers, and let the work show itself at every desk. The agents talk to each other, remember across sessions and act on the code themselves — so your job is to direct and review, not to shuttle messages between them. Nothing to take on faith: the code is right there.
