Run several coding agents with review gates, not a pile of terminal tabs

Engineering teams can use AI agents to plan changes, triage issues, review boundaries, and check release readiness, using the coding agents they already have. Brainwrite starts Claude, Codex, Cursor, OpenCode, and other agent CLIs, gives each bot its own computer and working folder, and turns risky actions into approval cards you read in context.

Brief your Chief of Staff. It picks the specialists and runs the team.

An example team. Start with one bot and add specialists when the work needs them.

Where the week goes

The work that eats your time.

Agents in terminal tabs

Several coding agents run in separate terminals with no shared view of what each is doing or waiting on.

Issue triage

New issues and error reports need deduplicating, labelling, and routing before anyone can work on them.

Release checks

Whether a change is safe to ship depends on who remembers to check compatibility, security, and rollback.

Lost context

Each new agent session starts from zero, and the reasoning behind yesterday's decision is gone.

The first job to hand off.

Issue triage

A weekday routine reads new GitHub or Linear issues and Sentry errors, groups duplicates, and proposes labels, severity, and an owner. Engineers confirm before anything changes.

Issue triage

Every four hours, read new GitHub issues in our app repository. Mark likely duplicates, draft a request for steps to reproduce when they are missing, and suggest a label and owner. Ask me before changing anything.

Your Chief of Staff put a team on it

  • Nova· Chief of Staff
  • Dash· Triage bot
  • Atlas· Rigel, QA and Release Engineer
  • 9 new issues since the last run
  • Likely duplicates: #1204 and #1211 match #1188 (same stack trace, same version)
  • Missing details: 3 reports lack a version; reply drafted, waiting for your approval
  • Proposed: #1207 bug, priority high, owner Mei (payments area)

What the team takes on

Jobs your AI team does every week.

  • Implementation plans

    A tech lead bot inspects the existing system and turns a product request into an owned, sequenced plan.

  • Boundary review

    Backend and frontend bots check interface, security, and compatibility boundaries before a change is called done.

  • Release readiness

    A QA and release bot gathers evidence and finishes with a release and rollback decision for a person to make.

  • Event-triggered work

    Send a webhook to Brainwrite's local receiver to start a bot, for example on a new error. Expose the receiver only through a narrow tunnel.

  • Weekly engineering summary

    Draft what merged, what is blocked, and what changed in error rates from the repository and tracker.

Why a team

Why this works better than a chatbot.

The agents you already use

Brainwrite runs Claude, Codex, Cursor, OpenCode, Grok, and other CLIs under your logins. Pick a model per bot and per thread, including local models.

A computer per bot

Choose none, a local VM through Docker or Podman, a hosted cloud computer, or your own Linux VPS over SSH. Using this Mac is a separate opt-in.

Secrets kept out of prompts

The bot names a secret; Brainwrite inserts the value only when sending to one https site, never follows redirects, and scrubs responses.

Inspector and cost per thread

See every tool call in the Inspector and the token use and cost of each thread, split into cached input, uncached input, and output.

FAQ

Questions about Brainwrite for engineering teams

How can engineering teams use AI agents?

Use them for planning, triage, boundary review, and release checks, with people keeping merge and release decisions. Brainwrite runs your existing coding agents as named bots with roles, memory, working folders, and their own computers. Risky actions become approval cards, and routines handle recurring work like daily issue triage.

How is this different from running Claude Code or Codex directly?

Brainwrite runs those same CLIs under your existing logins and adds structure around them: named bots with roles and memory, up to three threads per bot, a Chief of Staff that delegates, approval cards, routines, isolated computers, and per-thread cost. It does not replace what each CLI can do.

Does our code get sent to Brainwrite?

No. Brainwrite does not proxy your messages through its own model account. Code a bot reads goes to the model provider you chose for that bot, under that provider's terms. Chats and agent state stay on your machine. For sensitive repositories, use a local model through OpenCode, Ollama, or LM Studio.

Can bots run in an isolated environment?

Yes. Give a bot a local VM through Docker or Podman Desktop, a hosted cloud computer, or your own Linux VPS over SSH. Each has a built-in browser tab you can watch and take over. Letting a bot use this Mac directly is a separate opt-in with its own approval boundary.
