What If You Could Run an Entire Software Factory with AI Agents?

Hey 👋

I wanted to share something I've been working on lately called Diwan.

I've been using AI coding agents like Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and others for a while now. I've also tried several popular tools for managing multiple agents. Some are really useful, but I still haven't found one that gives me everything I'm looking for.

I've noticed people around me running into similar problems. We keep adding more tools to make development easier, but sometimes those tools end up creating even more complexity.

That's what got me thinking about building Diwan.

Diwan is an open source, self hostable platform for managing multiple AI coding agents.

The idea is to have one place where you can connect the agents you already use, with a central supervisor that can assign tasks, coordinate their work, track progress, review changes, and verify the results.

I want it to be simple enough to run on your own laptop, while also being useful for teams working on larger projects. No mandatory cloud services or extra orchestration subscriptions.

I'm still working on it, and there's a lot to figure out. I'm not trying to replace existing coding agents. I just want to make them easier to work with together.

I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Are you using multiple AI coding agents? How do you manage them today? Would something like Diwan actually be useful to you?

And if you know a tool that already does this really well, I'd love to check it out.

Any feedback, suggestions, or criticism would be appreciated!

I’ve written more about the idea behind Diwan and what I’m trying to build on my blog, if you're interested:
