Meta Acquires AI Coding Startup Conductor

AI Conductor
Meta is acquiring Conductor, a startup that enables developers to run multiple AI coding agents in parallel, while shutting down the cloud service.
What: Meta has acquired Conductor, with the cloud-based service shutting down on November 20, 2026. Users must export data to local instances, which will receive support until early 2027.
Why it matters: Meta is likely absorbing Conductor’s team and IP to integrate parallel, agentic coding workflows into its own developer tooling and open-source AI strategy.
Takeaway: If you are a Conductor Cloud user, export your data before November 20 by selecting 'Transfer to local' or 'Export data' in your settings.

Conductor is joining Meta

Conductor is joining Meta. Thank you for coming along for the ride!

We'll be winding down Conductor over the next weeks and months:

  • Conductor Cloud goes read-only on November 13 and shuts down on November 20.
  • Local Conductor keeps getting new models and critical bug fixes until early 2027.

To move a cloud workspace and its chats to your Mac, right-click it and choose Transfer to local. To download all your data, go to Settings → Account → Export data.

If you need anything, email [email protected].

Improvements

  • Add your own completion sounds in Settings → General. Pick a sound file, name it, and choose it like any other sound.
  • Archived cloud workspaces show their PRs, last known changes, and file tree in the right panel.
  • Added GPT-6.1 Terra to the Codex model picker.

Fixes

  • Fixed the Claude account usage display when Claude Code reports newer limit data.
  • Fixed closed chats in chat history showing a recent time when nothing had happened in them.
  • Messages that agents send to other agents now show a "Send message" label with the recipient and contents.
  • The rename workspace dialog now prefills the name shown in the sidebar instead of the worktree name.
  • Long PR titles no longer hide the PR number in the PR view.
  • Expanded Mermaid diagrams fill the window instead of opening in a narrow popup.
