bb is an agentic orchestrator GUI, not unlike the Codex app, but it works with any provider: Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, and more. What makes bb different is that it can customize and extend itself. Almost anything in bb can be changed with a single prompt. Ask for a task tracker, and one appears. bb also creates a skill that teaches all of your agents how to use it. Instead of waiting for your agentic workspace to add the feature you need, you can just ask for it.
Hey Product Hunt! I’m Sawyer, one of the creators of bb 👋
There are a lot of agent orchestrators now, so the obvious question is: why another one?
For me, the answer is that bb is software you can actually make your own.
bb is an agentic orchestrator GUI that works with Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Cursor, and other ACP-compatible agents using your existing subscriptions. But almost anything in bb can also be changed or extended with a prompt.
Ask for a task tracker and bb can build the UI for it, then create a skill that teaches your agents how to read, create, and manage tasks. People have also built tiling systems for agent threads, automated code review, markdown editors, and even a DAW inside bb.
A lot of bb itself is built on the same extension system available to you. Workflows, side chat, crons, inline previews, remote access, and more are all plugins.
It’s open source and MIT licensed. Clone it, run it, and if there’s something you wish it did, ask it to build it.
I’ve gotten pretty addicted to using software I can change. I don’t think I want to go back.

Hi, do you have plans supporting other platforms, than Mac? I'd give Linux build a try.
@celestin_gahaya not directly, but if you export your project to github you can then edit it. bb works anywhere a cli coding agent would work!

In spirit, bb feels like Emacs for coding agents: an environment intended to be shaped around how you work. bb is less like an AI chat bolted onto an editor and more like the beginnings of a programmable working environment for coding agents. I've been testing with version 0.36.0 and it has been an eye-opener. bb is evolving rapidly. It's not a settled, maintenance-free daily driver but it is extremely flexible and be warned you'll be dragged into exploring an insane multitude of possibilities!

Checking this out to build a AI work factory concept. This is a really cool flexible setup. I've been able to create a task board, automations, etc. really seamlessly. Love the approach! WIll share more later. Great job though!
Found you as a comment on Danny Postma's factory share btw

I'm genuinely enjoying using bb. Super slick experience and was a breeze to set up with my custom checkouts/worktrees setup. I'm looking for some more standardized paths for notifications for web ui, at the moment.

@foobar_beer linux and windows builds for the desktop app are certainly on the road map!
In the meantime you can run `npx bb-app@latest` and run the server form of it and access it in your browser (this works cross platform).
@sawyerjhood nice! thanks
Can bb be integrated into Lovable?

@colel glad you are enjoying it! Better notifications are certainly on our radar!

I love love love BB. It just feels GOOD to use and the flexibility to build and manage agents is extremely freeing.

@j1ngg ty so much! I'm glad that it is working for you!
