Conductor, the startup behind an app that runs multiple AI coding agents in parallel, announced that it is joining Meta. The announcement, signed by CEO Charlie Holtz and the Conductor team, was posted on November 4, 2026. Terms were not disclosed.

Conductor's app lets developers run several coding agents side by side in separate workspaces, using models from third-party providers. The company's announcement lays out a wind-down of its existing products. As of November 4, new sign-ups and new app downloads stopped, and free users can no longer upgrade, while existing Pro users keep Pro features at no cost.

Conductor Cloud becomes read-only on Friday, November 13, when users can still read old chats and export data but cannot send new messages, and active subscribers will be refunded. On Friday, November 20, Conductor Cloud shuts down and deletion of Cloud user data begins. The local Conductor app will keep working and receive new models and critical bug fixes until early 2027, when it will start winding down.

The team says it has plans for "the next interface" and will have "something new for you to use early next year," without giving details. The company also says it has never sold or trained on user data.

Current users should export their data or use the "Transfer to local" option before November 20. The deal also adds to Meta's push into AI coding tools, bringing in a team whose product was built around orchestrating many agents at once rather than a single assistant.
