## Why a fleet?
Running one AI agent is a demo. Running fifty -- across a MacBook in the
office, a GPU box in the lab, three cloud VMs, and your CI -- is an
operations problem nobody else has solved:
- **Which machine runs which agent?** Real devices, not throwaway sandboxes:
registered, credentialed, health-checked members you already own.
- **Which model does which job?** Claude for review, a cheap tier for
mechanical edits, a local vLLM model for private data -- all in one fleet,
routed by cost tier, switchable per task.
- **Who watches the agents?** Durable workflows with supervisors, watchdogs,
reservations, and live dashboards. Agents that die get detected. Work that
stalls gets resumed. Nothing runs silently.
- **Who holds the keys?** Secrets entered out-of-band, never visible to any
model. Per-provider permission composition. Network egress policy per
credential.
One control plane. Any device. Any model. Any workflow. Any domain.
## What you get
| Pillar | Concretely |
|---|---|
| **Any device** | Register any Windows / macOS / Linux machine (local or over SSH) as a fleet member in one command. Cloud members auto-start on demand. Windows members are fully supported for dispatch, command execution, and background long-running tasks (launched detached via WMI). |
| **Any model** | Claude, Codex, Copilot, Antigravity, local models (any OpenAI-compatible endpoint via OpenCode) -- mixed freely. Tier-based routing (cheap / standard / premium) keeps cost governance built in. Cross-provider review is a quality mechanism: a different model, with different blind spots, checks every change. |
| **Any workflow** | Workflows are durable programs, not prompt chains: multi-hour, resumable, observable, with member reservations and atomic state. Write your own; ship it to the fleet. |
| **Any domain** | Not just software development. The pattern fits wherever work decomposes into agent-sized pieces that need orchestration and an audit trail: nightly retail replenishment (reconcile inventory deltas, draft purchase orders for sign-off), logistics exception handling (triage a delayed shipment, re-book, notify), healthcare intake (summarize referrals, check completeness, route), back-office runs (invoice matching, compliance evidence collection). Software engineering is the vertical running today -- your domain is a workflow away. |
