> AFAICT, there’s no service that lets me: give a prompt, write the code, spin up all this infra, run Playwright, handle database migrations, and let me manually poke at the system. We approximate this with GitHub Actions, but that doesn’t help with manual verification or DB work.

I think this is almost exactly what we've built with https://superconductor.dev

- set up a project with one or more repos

- set up your environment any way you want, including using docker containers

- run any number of Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, Amp, or OpenCode agents on a prompt, or "ticket" (we can add Cursor CLI also)

- each ticket implementation has a fully running "app preview", which you can use just like you use your locally running setup. your running web app is even shown in a pane right next to chat and diff

- chat with the agent inside of a ticket implementation, and when you're happy, submit to github

(agents can even take screenshots)

happy to onboard you if that sounds interesting, just ping me at sergey@superconductor.dev



My org has built internal tooling that approximates this. It's incredibly valuable from a manual test perspective though we haven't managed to get the agent part working well, app startup times (10+ min) make iterating hard.

Do you have customers who have faced/solved this problem? If so, how did they do it -- it seems like a killer on the approach?


Our foundational design value was compute instance startup speed. We've made some design decisions and evaluated several "neocloud" providers with this goal in mind.

Currently, from launching an agent to that agent being able to run tests in our Rails docker-compose environment (and to the live app preview running), is about 30 seconds. If that agent finishes their work and goes to sleep, and then hours later you come back to send a message, it'll wake up in about the same time.

(And, of course, you can launch many agents at once -- they're all going to be ready at roughly the same time.)


will email! Your homepage doesn't make the environment part clear - it reads like it's akin to cursor multiple agent mode (Which I think you had first, FWIW).
