Hi HN, I'm Khaled. We built AQ because our team was running Claude Code, Codex and an open-weights model through OpenCode side by side, and we had five islands. Nobody could see what anyone else's agent was doing. Now, we can't imagine our lives without it.
What it is not: it's not an agent. It doesn't plan or write code itself. It's not a hosted-only product; the whole point is that execution lives on your VM. It's not free of rough edges but we're working on it 24/7.
I'll be in the comments all day. Happy to go deep on how it works behind the scenes, the worktree and tmux mechanics, the runner model, or anything else you like.
If it’s on my own cloud why wouldn’t I just vibe it myself? I want the organization of work to be multiplayer but I want to run the session myself especially because that means I can still use my subscription vs pay per token. There is so much competition in this space, you need more of a differentiator than your own cloud I think.
