Orchestrate agents
./like-a-human
Artichokey runs AI coding agents in parallel worktrees, streams logs, and opens PRs. Rust core. Local-first. No YAML. A mascot, because we're human.
A small, serious tool
wearing a friendly costume.
Under the mascot is a real orchestration engine — Rust core, WASM plugins, proper git worktrees, and a chat interface that respects your time.
Parallel worktrees
Every conversation spawns its own git worktree. Arti can work on four bugs at once without tripping over itself.
Chat, not YAML
Tell Arti what to build the same way you'd tell a teammate. No config files. No incantations.
Opens real PRs
When work lands, it lands in your repo with a proper branch and a description a human would write.
Stays on your machine
Rust core, local-first. Your code never leaves your laptop unless you ask it to.
Channels & beads
Organize work into channels. Long-running research gets strung together as "beads" you can revisit.
Bring your own brain
Claude, GPT-5, local Llama. Arti orchestrates; you pick the model.
Three steps. That's the whole pitch.
Point it at a repo.
Scan a folder or drag one in. Arti figures out the stack, tests, and where the grumpy bits are.
Tell Arti what's next.
Plain English, like you'd write in a ticket. "Fix the checkout flicker." "Add Stripe to onboarding."
Watch it work.
Each task gets its own worktree. Watch the logs, pause, nudge, or go get coffee. Come back to a PR.
Every wish becomes a bead.
Projects on the left, beads in the middle, the work itself on the right. Click any bead to see what Arti's doing about it.
What's new.
Channels for long-running work
Group related conversations into channels with their own context windows.
Faster worktree spin-up
New worktrees now boot in under 400ms on average. Down from 1.8s.
Merge conflict preview
The merge preview no longer blocks the UI while resolving large diffs.
Local Llama 3 support
Run Arti fully offline with a local model. Slower, but yours.
We figured you'd ask.
Letters from the kitchen.
We're wiring up the newsletter — one email a month with ship notes, demos, and the occasional drawing of Arti. Check back soon.
Okey dokey?
Lifetime access, lifetime updates, and a tokenized key with your name on it — the launch flows are being wired up. Drop back soon.
