Open-source coding agent runtime that runs in your IDE, your terminal or embedded via SDK, works with any model, and asks approval on every step.

One runtime, three surfaces: The same agent runs as a VS Code extension, a terminal CLI, or embedded in your own product through the SDK
Model agnostic: Works with Claude, GPT, Gemini, local Ollama or LM Studio models and any OpenAI-compatible endpoint, using your own key or weights
Plan then Act: Align on a strategy in Plan mode before execution, then approve each step in Act mode or flip on auto-approve
Multi-file edits with undo: Coordinated changes across a project with linter-aware fixes, diffs, checkpoints and one-click undo on every step
Live terminal execution: Runs bash commands and reacts to output as it appears, handling dev servers, test runs and deploys
Rules and Skills: Ship .clinerules with the repo so the agent follows your coding standards, architecture and deployment conventions
Multi-agent teams: Coordinator agents delegate to specialists with their own tools and context, and can run on cron for recurring automation
MCP and integrations: Register MCP servers and custom tools, chat from Slack, Discord, Telegram or Linear, and run headlessly in GitHub Actions or GitLab

A developer onboarding to an unfamiliar codebase and asking the agent how files, dependencies and behaviour fit together
Refactoring across a large repository while keeping imports, types and behaviour consistent
Running recurring maintenance — dependency bumps, lint sweeps, scheduled checks — from cron or a CI pipeline
A team that must keep code on self-hosted or local models for compliance reasons, pointing the agent at its own endpoint
Embedding an agent loop inside an internal developer platform via the SDK instead of building one from scratch
Encoding team conventions in .clinerules so every engineer's agent produces consistent, review-ready changes
Triggering a coding task from Slack or Linear and having the agent open the resulting change

Agentic outbound platform that turns account signals and relationship data into prioritized plays, personalized sequences, and pipeline actions.

ARYA conversational play builder: Describe an outbound play in plain English and ARYA assembles the signal triggers, persona filters, outreach rules and cadence, updating the live config as you talk
Signal detection: Tracks funding rounds, hiring surges, leadership changes and transformation initiatives across target accounts and surfaces them on the account record
Daily Cockpit: A single morning screen that ranks accounts needing attention, overlays the relevant signals, matches the persona and drafts the sequence hook for one-click push
Account memory: Keeps a continuous record of contacts, last-touch dates and engagement by business unit so context survives rep turnover and long sales cycles
Deal-risk intelligence: Flags opportunities that are stalling and explains why, with competitor presence and the objections buyers raised
ICP scoring: Scores accounts against an ideal-customer profile to prioritize high-intent targets over volume-based lists
Meeting preparation: Builds stakeholder maps, surfaces unresolved questions and recommends talking points ahead of strategic conversations
MCP interface: Exposes account knowledge and platform actions over MCP so other agentic tools can query and act on the same data

An SDR team running signal-triggered outbound instead of static lists, launching sequences only when a funding round or hiring surge indicates timing
A sales leader reviewing which enterprise deals are at risk before they quietly slip out of the quarter
An AE reactivating dormant accounts after a new signal such as a digital transformation initiative appears
RevOps building a new GTM play conversationally rather than configuring a multi-step workflow builder
An account manager preparing for a renewal by reviewing engagement across business units and mapping new stakeholders
A CRO reviewing top competitors and recurring objections across the pipeline to adjust messaging
