    Reference: "Conductor is joining Meta" from 8 days ago

    It's a multiplayer AI orchestration engine that recently got acquired.

    Product was falling behind to competition, already broke our trust once, and still under the meta umbrella.

    Good riddance.

      I'd be interested to know how it was falling behind.

      I really like it because unlike almost every other product in this category it's not "the kitchen sink".

    What’s Conductor?

    I moved on to Herdr and it’s been great https://herdr.dev/

    Too late, why would anyone want to go back?

    I've taken up T3Code but I genuinely miss some of the out-of-the-box features of Conductor. Conductor makes it so easy to clean up work trees after archiving workspaces. Side chats in T3Code just don't feel as great as the tabs in a workspace in T3Code.

    Something that will bring me back to Conductor would be better code navigation. I'm occasionally booting up an IDE just to jump to definitions.

      https://paseo.sh/ is another great open source option. Tabs are more similar to Conductor.

      T3Code just works though. It also doesn't look horrible, which is apparently a high bar given the state of the AI GUIs.

    non-x alternative:

    updated announcement post with crossed out text followed by:

    > Plans have changed! We’ll still be developing Conductor.

    Thank you again for your support!

    Termic is a really good open source alternative: https://termic.dev/

    I already migrated to t3. conductor team made a vibe decision.

    Let it, and everything meta touches, die.

  • muglug 3 days ago

    I wonder if there will be any product development or if it’s more of an LLMs-keep-the-lights-on situation.

    So did something go sideways with Meta?

  • mraza007 2 days ago

    Orca is much better

  • calmbonsai 3 days ago

    Um...no thank you. Why would anyone trust Meta with anything--especially anything involving agent coordination and super-especially after the sudden shutdown and post-shutdown product Zombifying.

  • jahala 3 days ago

    So apparently the weeks worth of work I already did in https://www.github.com/jahala/conducted was useless? Nah, I don't trust Meta anyhow, and they are not getting my data....
