- Meta acquired Conductor, an AI coding startup whose platform lets users spin up software projects by deploying multiple agents into parallel workspaces.
- Charlie Holtz announced Conductor’s move to Meta Superintelligence Labs, said he looked forward to working with Alexandr Wang and Nat Friedman, and teased a new customer interface for early next year.
- Conductor was founded in 2024 and launched its core product last summer; its agentic teams can run in the cloud, locally or via a phone, using agents from Anthropic and OpenAI.
- Conductor will keep core features working as before until early next year, except its cloud service, which shuts November 20; the company will then begin deleting user cloud data.
- Meta launched Muse Code in August, while its recently launched Muse agents surpassed 10 million users.
- Meta confirmed the acquisition to TechCrunch but would not comment further or provide additional details about the deal.
Why it matters: Meta has acquired Conductor’s parallel-agent workflow, built around agents from Anthropic and OpenAI, but existing cloud users face a concrete break: the service closes November 20 and their cloud data will be deleted, while non-cloud features continue until early next year.
