Problem
Developers often need to run multiple AI coding agents simultaneously, each requiring isolated environments and integration with issue trackers, which can be cumbersome to set up and manage manually.
Solution
Emdash provides an open-source development environment that orchestrates multiple AI coding agents across isolated Git worktrees. It automatically detects installed agent CLIs, pulls issue context from Linear, Jira, GitHub, or GitLab, and presents agent activity in a unified Kanban view. The platform supports remote execution over SSH, includes a built-in diff viewer and file editor, and allows developers to commit and push changes without leaving the app, streamlining the workflow for AI-assisted coding.
Target Audience
Primary users are software developers and engineering teams that employ multiple AI coding agents for code generation, review, and automation tasks.
Features
- Automatic detection of installed AI coding agent CLIs (e.g., Codex, Cursor, Amp, GitHub Copilot, Claude Code)
- Isolation of each agent in separate Git worktrees to prevent interference
- Integration with issue trackers (Linear, Jira, GitHub, GitLab) to provide full issue context to agents
- Kanban dashboard displaying the status of all running agents and required inputs
- Remote execution over SSH for working with repositories on external machines
- Built-in diff viewer and file editor for reviewing and modifying code within the environment
- One-click commit and push functionality without switching tools
