Conductor
The combined tool for running coding agents in a cloud isolated sandbox runs multiple tasks in parallel in independent micro-VMs. It can reuse your existing subscriptions and keys to drive mainstream command-line coding assistants and supports web and mobile terminals.

What is Conductor?
Conductor is a tool for running coding agents in isolated cloud sandboxes, with its official website slogan being "Run a team of coding agents in the cloud". It moves several of your commonly used command-line coding assistants into separate micro-virtual machines for parallel execution, using your own subscriptions and keys at the underlying level, with the goal of advancing multiple tasks simultaneously without interfering with each other.
Who is it for?
- Engineering leads who are responsible for changes to multiple repositories at the same time and want them to run simultaneously in their respective environments.
- A developer who only has a laptop and wants to offload heavy tasks to the sandbox to run in the background while continuing to work on the local machine.
- Teams that have paid subscriptions to several command-line coding assistants and do not want to pay repeatedly.
- R&D teams that want to collaborate with colleagues on the same set of tasks and make progress on their respective parts.
Key features
6A cloud sandbox for every agent
The official website states that the sandbox runs on isolated micro-virtual machines, with repositories and dependencies pre-installed. It starts up in seconds and allows agents to run continuously for several hours.
Bring your own subscriptions and keys
Use your own subscriptions and keys to call multiple mainstream command-line coding assistants in the background, eliminating the need to repurchase licenses for the same paid capabilities.
Conduct from anywhere
It provides a web interface and mobile access, allowing you to manage tasks remotely without being tied to your local machine.
Multi-person Collaboration
The official website announces that it supports multiple people to use the same workspace at the same time. With a shared link, you can see who is online, follow each other, and jointly prompt the agent inside.
Conductor API
Provides an interface to create sessions programmatically, facilitating integration with your own workflows.
Observable Execution Process
You can see the sandbox startup and snapshot restoration process in the official demo, making it easy to identify where the process gets stuck.
How to use Conductor
- 1First, move the most time-consuming type of current tasks (such as full refactoring or batch modifications) to the sandbox for a trial run, and evaluate the actual benefits.
- 2Your own keys mean you still bear the cost of API calls, so it's best to set clear termination conditions for long-running unattended tasks.
- 3When multiple people share a single workspace, agree on task naming and division of labor in advance to avoid two people making changes to the same branch.
- 4Pre-installed dependencies in the sandbox are convenient, but for private intranet packages, you should first confirm whether they can be pulled.
- 5The user base scale claimed on the official website can be used as a reference; for formal team selection, it is still recommended to conduct a small-scale trial first.
- 6The sandbox specifications, concurrency limits and pricing are subject to change; please recheck the official website's pricing page before official deployment.
