What is DevAgent? ​

A 60-second pitch

DevAgent is a desktop IDE for running multiple AI coding agents side by side. Every task gets its own git worktree, its own agent terminal, and its own browser tab — so you can fan out work across Claude Code, Codex, Cursor CLI, and friends without stashing, branch-juggling, or losing flow.

When to use DevAgent ​

  • Race in parallel — spin up three agents on the same bug and pick the winner
  • Review before shipping — walk AI-generated diffs line by line before they merge
  • One place for many subscriptions — orchestrate Claude Code, Codex, Cursor CLI you already pay for
  • Zero-setup start — use DevAgent's built-in Core / Core Pro without installing anything extra
  • Remote & self-hosted — run agents over SSH, on a self-hosted DevAgent server, or in an on-demand VM — without leaving your IDE

Who it's for ​

DevAgent is built for people who already write code for a living and want to use AI as leverage — not as a replacement. It assumes you read diffs, care about commits, and keep a worktree tidy.

If you're looking for a no-code tool, DevAgent is not that.

Built-in Core and Core Pro ​

Two agents that work out of the box

Alongside external agents like Claude Code and Codex, DevAgent ships two ready-to-use agents of its own: Core and Core Pro.

They come bundled with the install — no separate setup — and appear in the agent list:

  • Core — the base agent, covers everyday coding tasks
  • Core Pro — builds on Core with a set of preloaded skills for more complex work

First launch just asks you to sign in; once signed in they work right away, with model credits included and nothing else to configure.

What DevAgent is not ​

Boundaries

DevAgent has clear boundaries. These three are commonly misunderstood:

  • Not bring-your-own-only — bring your own Claude / Codex / OpenCode subscription, OR just use built-in Core / Core Pro — sign in once, done
  • Not a git replacement — every worktree is a real git worktree; you can cd in and use plain git anytime
  • Not a hosted VPS product — DevAgent runs on your desktop by default. Remote compute uses machines and cloud accounts you control: SSH targets, self-hosted DevAgent servers, or Cloud VMs / per-workspace environments
