The App That Changed How Engineers Ship Code

YC Root Access · Beginner ·💻 AI-Assisted Coding ·3h ago
Conductor is a Mac app that lets you run multiple coding agents at the same time. Create an isolated copy of your codebase in one click, tell Claude or Codex to go work, and review and merge the results. The company just raised a $22 million Series A, and today is launching Conductor Cloud, which lets agents keep working even after you close your laptop. In this episode of Founder Firesides, co-founders Charlie and Jackson sat down with YC's Aaron Epstein to talk about cycling through a dozen ideas before landing on the one that stuck, how building dev tools for themselves led to Conductor, and what they've learned from watching the best engineers in the world work with coding agents every day.
