What is fbuild?
fbuild is a desktop command center for a team of AI coding agents — you assign work, they run it on your machines, and you watch and steer from a clean UI.
fbuild is a desktop app for putting AI coding agents to work — without living in a terminal.
Instead of running one agent in a terminal window, fbuild lets you:
- Assign tasks to agents and watch them work in a chat-style view.
- Run several at once, side by side, each on a real project on one of your machines.
- Steer them mid-run, review their changes, open a preview, or drop into a terminal — all from one window.
Under the hood, the agents are powered by Egos — an agent operating system that coordinates a whole team of agents rather than a single assistant. fbuild is the interface you use to command them.
The pieces #
| Piece | What it is |
|---|---|
| Console | The desktop app you're reading about — where you create tasks and monitor runs. |
| Egos | The agent OS that actually plans and executes work with a team of agents. |
| Runner | A small program on your machine that lets agents run there safely. |
| Hub | The backend that connects your console, your machines, and your workspace. |
Who it's for #
Builders who want to hand off real coding work — reviews, fixes, features, chores — to agents and stay in control of scope, without babysitting a terminal.
