Meta Acquires Conductor, a Startup That Runs Teams of AI Coding Agents
Conductor's cloud service shuts down November 20, so current users have a short window to move their work.
Meta has acquired Conductor, a startup founded in 2024, according to TechCrunch. Conductor's CEO, Charlie Holtz, announced the deal on Wednesday, and Meta confirmed it to TechCrunch but gave no further details. TechCrunch says Axios reported the news first. The purchase price and other terms were not disclosed.
Conductor lets software engineers run several AI agents side by side in separate workspaces, with each agent handling a different part of a project. The agents come from outside labs such as Anthropic and OpenAI, and the teams can run in the cloud, on a laptop or from a phone.
For current customers, the clock is short. TechCrunch reports that Conductor's core features will keep working as they do now until early next year, but its cloud service shuts down on November 20, after which user cloud data will be deleted. Holtz said the team will release "something new" for customers by early next year. The story adds that Meta launched its own coding agent, Muse Code, in August 2026.
If you or a contractor use Conductor, export anything stored in its cloud before November 20 and check that your projects also live in your own code repository. If you rely on any small AI tool, ask what happens to your data if the company is bought,.
