Pre-Launch · Raising Pre-Seed

We don't write code.
We manage what does.

Orchestrate parallel AI coding agents in sandboxed environments. Each agent gets its own network namespace, VCS workspace, and database — fully isolated at the kernel level. No containers, no conflicts, no security risks.

The orchestration platform for agentic coding at scale.

Managing agents
is still chaos.

AI agents write 80% of new code. The $78B market built zero infrastructure for running them safely in parallel. No isolation, no coordination, no visibility. Every team hits the same walls.

Why agents need their own workspace
01

Environment Conflicts

Multiple agents sharing one filesystem. Merge conflicts, broken dependencies, wasted compute. Every. Single. Run.

02

Zero Observability

No real-time insight into what agents are doing. You wait for output, then debug after the fact — if you're lucky.

03

Uncontained Agents

Agents with full access to your network, credentials, and filesystem. No sandboxing, no boundaries. One rogue API call away from a security incident.

See It in Action

A unified control plane for every agent, colony, and brood — from high-level orchestration down to individual file diffs.

How It Works

1

Define

Create a colony.toml with your project config, agent instructions, and environment requirements.

2

Spawn

Colony sandboxes each agent in its own network namespace, database, and VCS workspace. Full kernel-level isolation — agents can't see each other or reach your host network.

3

Review & Merge

Monitor progress in real-time. Review changes, run tests, and merge — all from one dashboard.

Frequently Asked Questions

What AI agent does Colony use?
Colony uses Claude Code as its agent backend, managed via HumanLayer's hld daemon over JSON-RPC. Colony handles the orchestration, environment isolation, and lifecycle management — Claude Code handles the AI execution.
Why not just use Docker?
Docker adds ~200MB per container, takes seconds to start, and requires managing Dockerfiles. Colony uses Linux network namespaces — the same kernel primitive Docker uses internally — to provide equivalent network isolation without the overhead. Instant startup, zero memory cost, native filesystem performance.
Are AI agents secure in Colony?
Each agent runs in its own Linux network namespace — a kernel-level sandbox with its own network stack, IP address, and firewall rules. Agents can't see each other's traffic, can't reach your host network, and can't make unauthorized API calls. It's the same isolation you'd get from a VM, at zero overhead.
What is Jujutsu?
Jujutsu (jj) is a modern version control system that treats the working copy as a commit. This means every agent can work on its own branch without explicit branching, with automatic conflict detection and resolution.
Is Colony open source?
Colony will be released under the Functional Source License (FSL) — source-available from day one, with automatic conversion to Apache 2.0 after 2 years. The repository is currently private during pre-launch development. We'll open the source when we launch.
How does pricing work?
Colony uses a platform fee + usage model. Pay-as-you-go starts at $2.50/colony-hour with no platform fee. Pro ($149/mo) includes 100 hours at an effective rate of $1.49/hr. Volume discounts available for teams and enterprises.
What is AI agent orchestration?
AI agent orchestration is the coordination of multiple autonomous coding agents working in parallel. Colony provides the infrastructure layer — isolated environments, VCS workspaces, and real-time monitoring — so teams can run fleets of AI agents without conflicts.
