Phoenix Cockpit Is Online: Command Your Swarm

The Swarm hears you now.

With the release of Phoenix, MatrixSwarm finally gets the GUI it deserves — a cockpit for deployment, command, and swarm orchestration.

Welcome to visual swarm control.

What We Shipped

  • Phoenix Cockpit GUI — A full PyQt5-based interface to view and control live universes.
  • Vault-Driven Security — Encrypted JSON vaults hold your certificates, swarm keys, and saved directives.
  • Drag-and-Drop Deployment — Assign agent directives, embed connections, and deploy with a click.
  • Multi-Channel Connection Manager — HTTPS, WSS, Discord, Telegram, OpenAI... route signals across protocols.
  • Session-Aware Logs — Open real-time session views, inspect agents, threads, and log traffic.
  • Directive Manager — Build, save, encrypt, and launch full swarm trees from GUI.
  • Status Bar Awareness — Deployment count, session tracking, vault unlock status — always at your fingertips.
  • CLI Integration — Generate matrixd boot commands from GUI and launch universes from the command line.

And of course:

End-to-End Encryption and SPKI Certificate Pinning — because Phoenix is the only trusted ingress to the Queen.

Why It Matters

Matrix was never meant to run headless forever.

Phoenix isn't just a GUI. It's a command-and-control cockpit for a self-resurrecting, reflex-capable swarm OS.

No more copy-pasting directives.
No more rebuilding agents from scratch.
No more blind swarm deployments.

With Phoenix, the Queen finally answers.

Install Phoenix

git clone https://github.com/matrixswarm/phoenix
cd phoenix
pip install -e .
phoenix  # launches GUI
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Then build your directive, save your swarm key, and launch your universe:

matrixd boot --universe phoenix
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Matrix will resolve your directive and swarm key automatically.
