AI Productivity

Agent Team and Agent Swarms

Put multiple AI agents on one job and run them together — a Team that shares a workspace or a Swarm of headless workers — coordinated from a single Orchestrations view. Watch live status, follow handoffs on a message activity rail, and pause, resume, or cancel the whole pool from one place.

Why You Need This

How this feature boosts your daily productivity

Splitting a big job across several agents used to mean a wall of terminals you polled one by one — no shared view of who was working, who was blocked, or who handed off to whom, and no way to pause everything without killing tabs. Agent Teams gives the group a single control surface: every team and swarm shows up as a live row, the messages between agents read as a rail, and pool-wide Pause, Resume, and Cancel let you steer a large run instead of babysitting it.

How It Works

Get started in 4 simple steps

1
1

Start a Team or a Swarm

Ask an agent to work in Team mode to bring up teammates that share your workspace, or start a Swarm of headless workers from the 1devtool-agent CLI.

2
2

Open the Orchestrations view

In the Orchestration Dashboard, the Orchestrations tab lists every active run as a row — "Agent Team" or "Swarm · headless" — each with a live status badge.

Watch the handoffs

The Team activity rail shows messages passing between members, agent to agent, so you can see who handed work to whom and where a run is blocked.

Steer the pool

Use Pause pool or Resume pool to throttle a run, Cancel queued workers while running ones finish, or Open Team workspace to jump into the agents’ terminals.

Without 1DevTool

The manual way vs. the 1DevTool way

The Hard Way

# Open a terminal per agent
# Paste a prompt into each
# Alt-tab to see who is still working
# Guess who handed off to whom
# One stalls; you notice minutes later
# Kill terminals one by one to free the CPU

The 1DevTool Way

Start a Team or a Swarm on the job.
Watch every agent and handoff from the Orchestrations view.
Pause, resume, or cancel the whole pool with one button.

Key Capabilities

Everything included with Agent Team and Agent Swarms

Run multiple AI agents on one job as a Team or a Swarm
Team agents share a single workspace and see the same files
Swarms run headless workers you kick off from the 1devtool-agent CLI
See every active team and swarm as a live row in the Orchestrations view
Follow agent-to-agent handoffs on the Team activity rail
Pause or resume the whole worker pool with one button
Cancel queued workers while already-running ones finish
Open a Team’s shared workspace to jump straight into its terminals

Why It Matters

The productivity impact of having ai productivity built into your workspace

One Board, Not a Wall of Tabs

Every team and swarm is a single row with a live status badge, so you read the whole job at a glance instead of polling terminals one by one.

Handoffs You Can See

The Team activity rail turns agent-to-agent messages into a readable feed, so a blocked run shows why instead of leaving you to guess.

Steer, Do Not Babysit

Pause, resume, and cancel apply to the whole pool, so a big run is something you throttle and trim rather than kill tab by tab.

Pick the Right Shape

A Team shares a workspace for chained work; a Swarm runs headless for fan-out. Choose per job instead of forcing one pattern.
