One coding agent is useful; a dozen running at once is chaos to manage. Orca, from Stably, is an ADE — an agent development environment — built to run a whole fleet of coding agents in parallel, on desktop and mobile.
## What it does
Orca is agent-agnostic: if it runs in a terminal, it runs in Orca. Claude Code, Codex, Grok, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, OpenCode — all driven through your own subscriptions, side by side. Each agent gets its own worktree, so you can fan work out and watch the diffs come back. You review like a human: drop comments on any diff line and ship them straight back to the agent, then edit and commit without leaving the app.
## Why it matters
The twist is that agents can drive Orca too — every workflow scripts via commands like worktree create, snapshot, click, and fill, and a Computer Use mode lets an agent operate desktop apps when a task needs real UI interaction. It’s a bet on where coding is heading: not one assistant inside your editor, but a control room for many agents working at once, with a human reviewing the merges.
