I Scanned My PC for AI Agents — Found 457 of Them

After using Claude Code, Codex, and Pi Agent for months,
I wondered: how many AI agents are on my machine?

I built a scanner. Here's what it found:

Framework Active Archived
Claude Code 192 191
Codex CLI 37 0
Pi Agent 8 sub-agents 12 scripts
MCP Servers 8 -
Total 448+

The Waste

  • Duplicate calls: Same prompt → 3 agents (8-18% waste)
  • Overqualified models: Simple tasks on expensive models (15-25% waste)
  • Cache fragmentation: No shared prompt cache (12-20% waste)
  • Zombie agents: Archived still indexed (2-8% waste)

30-50% of AI API spend is wasted.

The Fix

AMA — Agent Management Agent


bash
pip install ama-core && ama scan && ama start
Scans all agents across frameworks
Smart routing (simple task → cheap model)
Lifecycle management
Local dashboard at localhost:8765
Free calculator: ama-agent-store.vercel.app/calculator
