Agents do the work.You run the room.

You set one outcome. The orchestrator turns it into scoped packets, sends each to the best-fit agent, then brings every diff and decision back to one room for review.

16 dispatchable runtimes · one contract

One conversation runs the fleet.

Choose the orchestrator you trust. o8 sends each packet to the supported CLI and model that fit the work, isolates every worker, and brings every result through one review path.

Steal the code and make o8 yours.

Fork every line, change the interface, add a runtime, replace a workflow, or ship your own build. The app stays free forever with the model subscriptions and keys you already use; Pro pays for the optional managed path.

o8 mobile + Symon

Run the room from your pocket, by voice.

Catch up on every repo, inspect the work, and make the call from your phone. Ask Symon what changed, then approve, reject, steer, or continue the same session by voice. o8 keeps the review and confirmation rules attached.

01
See the whole room
Commits, tracked repos, agents, approvals, and the next move stay in one live operator view.
02
Ask instead of hunting
Talk to Symon about the screen, open a surface, inspect a diff, or hear the latest checks out loud.

Ask Symon to approve, reject, steer, or continue. The review receipt and confirmation policy stay attached.

16 dispatchable runtimes · one contract

Use the agents you already pay for.

One runtime holds the goal while each packet uses the runtime and model that fit the work. Every worker still uses the same mission, worktree, review, and approval path.

The interface cycles through each state. Choose a step to hold it still.

Ten machines. One console. Anywhere.

Pro connects up to 10 Macs to your o8 account. Open the web console from any browser, switch machines, and use the live desktop or mobile surface wherever you are.

The Mac stays in control, so o8 must be open on the machine you want to reach.

Inference, on us

Useful compute should get cheaper until it feels free.

Every installation gets a limited hosted model allowance without sign-in, provisioned on demand when first used. As serving gets cheaper and the model improves, we'll keep improving that free path too. Pro pays for portable managed services and includes our most generous daily fair-use limits for life.

connected Macs

Register ten machines to one account and move between them from the web console.

managed Brain

Ask and get the managed answer without waiting on a local CLI or bringing another key.

Voice
managed for you

Dictation polish and premium Whisper speech-to-text are included within fair use.

Early
access, always on

Experimental surfaces arrive ahead of the public channel and stay enabled for Pro.

The local core stays free
The full app, 16 dispatchable runtimes, governance, memory, local mobile, and local voice keep working with the subscriptions and CLIs you already use. Pro pays for reach, managed infrastructure, and supported customization without maintaining your own fork.

Run the room.
