What is Operator?

Operator is a multi-agent orchestration dashboard that coordinates AI coding assistants with your existing project management and version control workflows.

Where agents run

Operator separates how a session is managed from where the agent process runs.

• Session Management - tmux, cmux, Zellij and IDE terminals
• IDEs - VS Code and Zed
• Execution Transports - local execution and SSH
• Agent Relays - streaming agent output back to Operator
• Remote Targets - SSH hosts and Coder workspaces (Premium)
• Platforms - running Operator itself under Docker or Kubernetes
