Meta has acquired Conductor, an AI coding startup whose platform lets users launch software projects by deploying multiple agents into parallel workspaces. The company announced the deal on its blog, and Meta confirmed the acquisition without providing further comment or additional details about the terms.
Conductor founder and CEO Charlie Holtz wrote on Wednesday that the startup is joining Meta and that the company has significant plans for what he described as the next interface. He said Conductor would have something new for customers to use by early next year. On X, Holtz said he looked forward to working with Alexandr Wang, Meta's chief AI officer, and Nat Friedman, head of product at the company's Superintelligence Labs, praising the talent density at MSL.
Conductor was founded in 2024 and launched its core product only last summer. Its agentic teams can be deployed in the cloud, locally, or through a user's phone, and are designed to help software engineers work on separate, compartmentalized parts of a project in concert. The agents the platform deploys are not developed in-house but come from major labs including Anthropic and OpenAI.
Holtz said Conductor's core features will continue to work as they previously have until early next year. The exception is Conductor's cloud service, which will shut down on November 20, after which the company will begin deleting user cloud data.
The deal adds another AI-related acquisition to Meta's recent record. In August, the company launched Muse Code, its own coding agent, and its recently launched Muse agents have surpassed 10 million users, according to the company. Meta has also acquired Moltbook, the viral agent platform that made headlines, among other AI-related purchases over the past year.
Meta previously lagged behind in AI services and has spent the last several months trying to catch up, a push that now includes Conductor's multi-agent coding technology. The acquisition brings Conductor's team and product under Meta's Superintelligence Labs, where Holtz will work alongside Wang and Friedman.
