Meta Acquires Conductor, an AI Coding Agent App

At a glance

Meta has acquired Conductor, an app that runs multiple AI coding agents at the same time. The acquisition price and detailed reasons were not disclosed. The Conductor team will join Meta Superintelligence Labs to build its next product.

Key points

1. 1

   Conductor helps users run several coding agents side by side and review and merge their results.

2. 2

   Agents from other companies, such as Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor, can also be used with it.

3. 3

   Conductor has stopped new sign-ups and app downloads, and its cloud service will shut down this month.

4. 4

   Existing paid users can use paid features for free, and the local app will receive updates until early 2027.

Why it matters

Competition in AI tools that write code for developers is growing, and this shows Meta is expanding beyond AI voice and agents into developer tools.
