Agent Orchestrator

Rivendica

Agent Orchestrator is a desktop IDE for supervising AI coding agents. It helps developers run multiple agent sessions with isolated workspaces while keeping pull requests, reviews, and CI status visible in one place.

Supervise coding agents from a desktop control layer

Agent Orchestrator (AO) is a desktop IDE for supervising AI coding agents. It gives each worker an isolated workspace and connects project work to pull requests, CI, reviews, merge readiness, notifications, and browser previews.

The product centers on a local desktop app and daemon rather than a cloud service. AO manages the control layer around the agents you already use, so you can launch sessions, follow activity, send follow-up messages, and keep track of review and merge status in one place.

Core capabilities

Isolated worktrees for each worker

New worker sessions receive their own isolated worktrees, which helps keep branches and files separated while multiple agents work in parallel.

Session and project management

AO lets you register local Git repositories or workspaces as projects, then create, inspect, rename, restore, kill, and clean up sessions tied to those projects.

Review and pull-request workflow

The docs include commands for merging pull requests, resolving comments, triggering reviewer runs, submitting verdicts, and claiming PRs from sessions.

Local desktop app and daemon

The desktop app owns the local daemon and communicates with it over a loopback API, keeping product state and worktree metadata on the machine by default.

Agent harness compatibility

AO supports installed agent harnesses such as Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Droid, Cursor, Aider, and others, and uses the sign-ins already present on the machine.

Browser preview controls

The CLI includes preview commands to select a target, start a managed preview server, inspect status, and stop it, which helps keep a session's app preview nearby.

Common ways to use AO

  • Run several implementation tasks at once

    Use AO when you want multiple coding agents working in parallel on separate bug fixes, refactors, or feature slices without mixing their branches or files.

  • Track work from prompt to merge

    Start a session, watch its activity and review state, then move through pull request, CI, review, and merge steps without leaving the AO workflow.

  • Route review feedback back to a worker

    If a reviewer agent or human leaves requested changes, you can send follow-up instructions to the correct session and keep the work moving.

  • Manage local preview apps during development

    Use the preview controls when a session needs a running local app or static entry point that you want to inspect beside the agent conversation or terminal.

  • Operate with existing tooling on your machine

    AO fits developers who already use Git, GitHub CLI, and supported agent harnesses, and want an orchestration layer instead of another standalone agent runtime.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Keeps separate workers isolated in their own worktrees.
  • Combines project, session, review, and merge management in one desktop app.
  • Works with installed agent harnesses instead of bundling its own provider CLIs.
  • Includes CLI commands for sessions, reviews, pull requests, previews, and browser control.
  • Available as a desktop app for macOS, Windows, and Linux.

Cons

  • The CLI is only a thin client and requires the desktop app to be running for product commands.
  • Setup depends on existing tools such as Git, GitHub CLI, and at least one supported agent harness.
  • The source does not provide a clear pricing model because the pricing page currently returns a not-found message.

FAQ

What is Agent Orchestrator used for?

AO is used to supervise AI coding agents while keeping their workspaces, pull requests, reviews, and merge status organized from a desktop app.

Does AO replace the agent tools developers already have installed?

No. The docs say AO uses the agent binaries and sign-ins already on your machine and does not bundle provider CLIs.

Is there a command-line interface?

Yes. The ao CLI is described as a thin client for the local desktop app and loopback daemon, and it requires the desktop app to be running for product commands.

Which platforms are supported?

The installation page provides desktop downloads for macOS, Windows, and Linux.

Is pricing listed on the site?

The pricing URL currently shows a page-not-found message, so the source does not provide a current pricing or plan breakdown.
