Meta has acquired Conductor, a startup developing a platform for programming with multiple AI agents simultaneously.
The deal was announced by Conductor founder and CEO Charlie Holtz.
I am very excited to share that Conductor is joining Meta! We have some big, crazy plans for the next interface. If you liked Conductor, you’re gonna love what’s coming. We’re super excited to work with @natfriedman and @alexandr_wang at MSL to build it. They’ve been on an absolute tear, and I’m convinced MSL has the highest talent density of all the labs. A huge thank you to our earliest believers @aaron_epstein, @ilyasu, and @nabeel. And to everyone here who tried Conductor, sent us feedback, and prompt requests - you made this so much fun. Thank you ❤️???? Choo choo!
Meta plans to use the team’s experience to create new AI tools for developers.
Why Meta acquired Conductor
The acquisition of Conductor comes amid competition among tech companies for the market for AI programming tools. According to Axios, the deal should help Meta develop its own developer products and compete with other companies, including OpenAI.
Conductor specializes in managing multiple AI agents that can perform different tasks within a single software project. This approach allows developers to distribute work among agents and monitor the results in one environment.
At the same time, Meta has not yet said which specific Conductor technologies it will integrate into its products or whether the future service will become part of Meta Superintelligence Labs.
What will change after the acquisition
According to Holtz, the Conductor team will work on a new interface for interacting with artificial intelligence. The developers plan to present the first result in early 2027, but they are not yet disclosing details of the future product.
Holtz also said he will work with Meta’s Chief AI Officer Alexandr Wang and Nat Friedman, head of product at Meta Superintelligence Labs.
Meanwhile, the company will gradually wind down the current Conductor platform. New users also can no longer register for the service or download the app. For those already using Conductor, the core features will remain available for now.
The local version of Conductor will continue to work and will receive AI model updates and critical bug fixes until early 2027. After that, the company plans to gradually end support for it.
What is known about Conductor
Conductor was founded in 2024, and the startup introduced its main product in July 2025. The platform allows developers to run multiple AI agents simultaneously working on different parts of a software project.
For example, one agent can create a new app feature, a second can fix bugs, and a third can write tests. For each task, Conductor creates a separate working environment so agents can work in parallel without interfering with one another.
The platform supports working with Anthropic’s Claude Code, OpenAI’s Codex, and other tools. At the same time, the startup does not develop its own AI models but combines existing solutions in a single interface.
Users can run agents locally on their computer or work with them through the cloud service.
