Meta has acquired Conductor<\/a>, an AI coding startup that allows users to spin up software projects by deploying multiple agents into parallel workspaces.<\/p>\n

The news was originally reported<\/a> by Axios, and Conductor shared news<\/a> of its acquisition on its blog.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have big news: Conductor is joining Meta,\u201d wrote<\/a> the startup\u2019s founder and CEO, Charlie Holtz, on Wednesday. \u201cWe have some big, crazy plans for the next interface,\u201d he added, teasing that the company would have \u201csomething new\u201d for customers to use by \u201cearly next year.\u201d<\/p>\n

On X, Holtz also noted<\/a> that he was looking forward to working with Alexandr Wang, Meta\u2019s chief AI officer, and Nat Friedman, head of product at the company\u2019s Superintelligence Labs. \u201cThey\u2019ve been on an absolute tear, and I\u2019m convinced MSL has the highest talent density of all the labs,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Meta confirmed the acquisition to TechCrunch but wouldn\u2019t comment further or provide additional details about the deal. <\/p>\n

Conductor, founded in 2024, only launched its core product just last summer. The company\u2019s agentic teams, which can be deployed in the cloud, locally, or via a user\u2019s phone, are designed to help software engineers work on separate, compartmentalized parts of a project in concert. The agents that the platform deploys aren\u2019t developed in-house but come from major labs like Anthropic and OpenAI.<\/p>\n

Holtz said that, until early next year, Conductor\u2019s core features would continue to work as they previously have. The exception is Conductor\u2019s cloud service, which will shut down on November 20, after which the company will begin deleting user cloud data. <\/p>\n

Meta, which previously lagged behind<\/a> in AI services, has spent the last several months trying to catch up. In August, the company launched Muse Code<\/a>, its own coding agent. Meanwhile, the company\u2019s recently launched Muse agents are seeing significant adoption, with the company recently reporting<\/a> that the service had surpassed 10 million users. The company has also made a number of AI-related acquisitions over the past year, including Moltbook<\/a>, the viral agent platform that made headlines. <\/p>\n
