So apparently the weeks worth of work I already did in https://www.github.com/jahala/conducted was useless? Nah, I don't trust Meta anyhow, and they are not getting my data....

All those tokens will be lost in time, like tears in rain

So did something go sideways with Meta?

Apparently they got Meta's blessing https://x.com/charlieholtz/status/2120975128158945374

What’s Conductor?
Re:Announcement: Conductor Is Back by muglug on Thursday November 12, 2026 @09:24PM (#50477293)
I wonder if there will be any product development or if it’s more of an LLMs-keep-the-lights-on situation.

Too late, why would anyone want to go back?
Re:Announcement: Conductor Is Back by calmbonsai on Thursday November 12, 2026 @09:27PM (#50477319)
Um...no thank you. Why would anyone trust Meta with anything--especially anything involving agent coordination and super-especially after the sudden shutdown and post-shutdown product Zombifying.

Let it, and everything meta touches, die.

Product was falling behind to competition, already broke our trust once, and still under the meta umbrella.

Good riddance.

I'd be interested to know how it was falling behind.

I really like it because unlike almost every other product in this category it's not "the kitchen sink".

Reference: "Conductor is joining Meta" from 8 days ago

It's a multiplayer AI orchestration engine that recently got acquired.

I've taken up T3Code but I genuinely miss some of the out-of-the-box features of Conductor. Conductor makes it so easy to clean up work trees after archiving workspaces. Side chats in T3Code just don't feel as great as the tabs in a workspace in T3Code.

Something that will bring me back to Conductor would be better code navigation. I'm occasionally booting up an IDE just to jump to definitions.

Re:Announcement: Conductor Is Back by egeozcan on Friday November 13, 2026 @12:37AM (#50478810)
T3Code just works though. It also doesn't look horrible, which is apparently a high bar given the state of the AI GUIs.

https://paseo.sh/ is another great open source option. Tabs are more similar to Conductor.

non-x alternative:

Thank you again for your support!
