I built a website that compares 68 of these tools: <a href="https://agentmgmt.dev/" rel="nofollow">https://agentmgmt.dev/
Offrun is added.

  Nice, would <a href="https://vibepod.dev/" rel="nofollow">https://vibepod.dev/ also be a fit for the list?

    Also maybe <a href="https://omnigent.ai/" rel="nofollow">https://omnigent.ai/

    Added, thanks!

    It seems more for isolating agents, not orchestrating them AFAICS.
    nezhar · 1791055521 · focus · HN ↗
    There is a Task mode availalbe: <a href="https://vibepod.dev/docs/agents/#managing-tasks" rel="nofollow">https://vibepod.dev/docs/agents/#managing-tasks
    Workers and Boards are in the making

  reminds me days of coinmarketcap

    Yeah, to be honest I'm looking for ways to make the list more useful, but it's not that easy.
    I'd love a way to track "popularity", but only 64% of the tools are on Github, so we can track their star counts, and less than half are installed via Homebrew or npm, which could let us track their install numbers.
    Another option would be to let users say which tool(s) they use and calculate popularity based on that, but probably some tool authors would tell their community to go and vote for them and the result would be a ranking by which community is most engaged...
    Open to ideas! :)

  openrig also seems to fit
  1. manume · 1791050547 · focus · HN ↗
    Added, thanks!

  Soon we're going to need a meta-orchestrator for all these agent orchestrators
5. alasano · 1791052678 · focus · HN ↗
  Did you build this out of pure interest in what's available or to be able to chime on threads like these on Reddit and HN when someone builds the same thing once again?
  1. manume · 1791053178 · focus · HN ↗
    Haha good question, mostly for myself tbh. There's a section at the bottom of the page with my motivation:
    "I built this site for two reasons:
    - I think agent management tools will be an important category with a lot of innovation over the next few years.
    - I keep finding new tools and then quickly forgetting their names, so I needed a place to keep track of them."

  Nice site and I'm surprised (also not surprised) by how many there are. A few missing that you might consider adding:
  - paperclip
  - multica
  - perplexity computer

    Thanks! Those three are not really coding agents though.
7. arunbhatia · 1791054641 · focus · HN ↗
  hey, thanks
  1. manume · 1791055093 · focus · HN ↗
    My pleasure. What would you say differentiates (or will differentiate) Offrun from the others?
    arunbhatia · 1791056512 · focus · HN ↗
    we are focusing on human attention - managing multiple agents leads to approval fatigue and human-in-the-loop design goes for a toss. We are making sure that agentic engineers are focused on building the right product without worrying about assembling tools to build the right product.
    On a lighter note - our biggest differentiator(which my CTO won't agree with) is that we have an in-built radio in the product that the user can listen to while agents are running.
    manume · 1791057480 · focus · HN ↗
    The radio is a good idea. :) I saw something today where you automatically join a live multiplayer Doom game when the agent starts working...

  well done! but "compare" is a bit of a stretch... maybe you can get an inspiration from models.dev ?
  1. manume · 1791061316 · focus · HN ↗
    Why a bit of a stretch? They are compared on four aspects (platforms, price, GH stars, open-source). Any more I can add?
    SeriousM · 1791073596 · focus · HN ↗
    Glad you ask and I respect that.
    Here are the things I would love to see: - supported tooling (e.g. built in browser) - interaction type ( chat ui, terminal, booth) - context size added (how large is the additional context so that the agent knows the ADE) - extensibility (plugins possible) - completely free, paid possible - range of harness support (some only support claude and codex) - installation type (own server + n clients, only clients and properitary server) - connectivity support of multiple machines (tailscale, SSH, wireguard, proprietary) - age of project, commit count, PR count - multiselect of possible platforms (e.g. windows + android)
    I guess that's all that is broadly comparable without going into too much detail.
    Thanks for your interest!
    SeriousM · 1791099176 · focus · HN ↗
    Oh and one last one: is the client headless possible or is a GUI necessary.
9. nitin7 · 1791079318 · focus · HN ↗
  This is nice and handy, thank you. Do you plan to add filters?
  1. manume · 1791152863 · focus · HN ↗
    There's a filter by platform already. You can sort by any of the columns, so I'm not sure if more filters are really necessary right now.
