Draw your agent team instead of filling in forms

The Builder turns agent orchestration into a canvas: drag agents in, wire them together, and see the team before it runs. Plus a real chain of command, ordered pipeline stages with quality gates, and one-click team presets.

Tile Your Whole Window, and Share Skills Across Every Project

Tile Your Whole Window, and Share Skills Across Every Project

Mosaic turns the 1DevTool window into tiles you place, split and resize yourself — without restarting a single running agent. And the new Skills Control Plane installs a skill once, then pins a version per project so your whole team shares the same set.

Run Kimi Code as a first-class AI terminal

Install the kimi CLI and open Moonshot's Kimi Code from the same picker as Claude and Codex — model chips, skills, resume, and team delegation included.

Watch Your Agents Work

Watch Your Agents Work

Agent Office turns the terminal grid into a room where every AI terminal is a character at a desk — so you can tell which agent is stuck, which is waiting on you, and which is done without opening a single tab. Plus the Vibe Coder layout, AI-generated diagrams, Tailscale remote access, and commit messages written from your diff.

Your Accounts, Your Projects, Your Machines

Your Accounts, Your Projects, Your Machines

1DevTool 1.59.0 gives you one panel for every AI account you own, workspaces that bind several repositories into one product, and pairing that makes your other computer's agents usable from this window.

Your sidebar was doing two jobs. Now it only does one.

Your sidebar was doing two jobs. Now it only does one.

Horizon moves your projects to a strip of icons across the top of the window, so the file tree gets the whole left sidebar. Classic brings back a standalone File Explorer beside a dedicated Editor. And any layout you can see can be pushed to every project in one click.

Proof your prompt actually reached the agent

Aug 1, 2026

Proof your prompt actually reached the agent

A prompt is now reported as sent only after 1DevTool confirms it left the agent's composer — so a delegation can no longer look live while the agent sits idle. Plus Markdown sticky notes, per-agent terminal counts, and a file tree you can resize or collapse.

Browse and edit in one workspace

Browse and edit in one workspace

The File Tree and the editor now share a single workspace tab that keeps your expanded folders, open files and scroll position while you work elsewhere — plus Mission Control that reveals itself when work starts, one-click project actions, and a local password generator.

Your agents can read each other's work

Your agents can read each other's work

Linked agents can now pull a peer's transcript, terminal screen or published file and use the answer in the same turn — behind four separate grants that stay off until you give them. Plus a rebuilt Tasks board, a planner you choose, and terminals that fit the phone reading them.

Assign a task to an AI agent and it starts working

Jul 27, 2026

Assign a task to an AI agent and it starts working

Tasks is now a board your agents work directly — assigning a task spawns the terminal, sends the work and binds the run, with plan and done approval gates you can answer from your phone and tasks stored as markdown in your repo.

Your AI Agents Can Now Hand Work to Each Other — A Walkthrough

Mention a terminal you already have open and your prompt is delivered into that live agent — with the answer routed back to you. A step-by-step tutorial for linked terminals, Mission Control, and the Team Map in 1DevTool 1.52.0.

Let an AI Agent Drive the Browser You're Already Using

Let an AI Agent Drive the Browser You're Already Using

Agent browser automation usually means a second, empty browser that hits your login wall on step one. In 1DevTool v1.51.0, an agent connected through MCP drives the Browser panel already docked in your workspace — your tabs, your session, watched live.
