Meta-Harness by Databricks and Neon Omnigent launched an open-source platform that provides a unified layer over AI coding agents like Claude Code, Codex, and Pi, enabling users to swap or combine harnesses, enforce policies and sandboxing, and collaborate in real time from any device. The platform supports multi-agent supervision, any model provider, cloud sandboxes, and governance policies, with one-command installation via curl, pip, or Homebrew. Omnigent provides a common layer over Claude Code, Codex, Pi, and the agents you write yourself: swap or combine harnesses without rewriting, keep them in check with policies and sandboxing, and collaborate in real time on the same live session, from any device. Omnigent lets you: - 📱 Work with agents from any device, including your phone. Sessions follow you: start in your terminal, continue in the browser, pick it up on your phone. Messages, sub-agents, terminals, and files stay in sync. - 🤖 Supervise multiple agents. Use Claude Code, Codex, Pi, and custom agents defined in YAML together in the same session. Ask one agent to review another's work, or split a task across agents that are each good at different things. - 🔌 Use any model. A first-party API key, a Claude/ChatGPT subscription, or any compatible gateway. All first-class. - 🤝 Collaborate. Share a session so teammates can chat with your agent and watch it work live, co-drive it on your machine, or fork the conversation to continue on their own. - ☁️ Run agents in cloud sandboxes. No laptop required: run sessions in disposable Modal https://modal.com or Daytona https://www.daytona.io sandboxes, launched from the CLI or provisioned by the server per session managed hosts . More providers coming soon. - 🛡️ Govern your agents. Create policies 6-govern-your-agents-with-policies to pause for your approval before risky actions, cap spend, or limit which tools an agent reaches. They apply to the whole server, one agent, or a single chat. One command installs Omnigent and everything it needs: curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/omnigent-ai/omnigent/main/scripts/install oss.sh | sh Prefer to install manually? Omnigent needs Python 3.12+ . Install the omnigent package: uv tool install omnigent or: pip install "omnigent" Or with Homebrew https://github.com/omnigent-ai/homebrew-tap : brew install omnigent-ai/tap/omnigent Or install straight from the repo: uv tool install -q --python 3.12 git+https://github.com/omnigent-ai/omnigent.git Toolchain and prerequisites if the installer reports a missing tool required . uv https://docs.astral.sh/uv/getting-started/installation/ https://docs.astral.sh/uv/getting-started/installation/ The installer offers to set this up for you. required . git Node.js 22 LTS or newer with, for the Claude, Codex, and Pi coding harnesses. npm omnigent run installs the harness CLI you pick. https://docs.npmjs.com/downloading-and-installing-node-js-and-npm https://docs.npmjs.com/downloading-and-installing-node-js-and-npm , required by the native tmux omnigent claude / omnigent codex wrappers brew install tmux / apt install tmux ; the installer offers to install it for you . Databricks optional . To use a Databricks workspace as your model provider, install Omnigent with the databricks extra: uv tool install "omnigent databricks " . Signing in to the workspace also uses the Databricks CLI https://docs.databricks.com/aws/en/dev-tools/cli/install . omnigent picks a model with you and starts a session in your terminal. It also launches a local web UI at http://localhost:6767 that shows the same session in the browser, or on a phone on your network step 4 . The desktop app https://omnigent.ai/docs/interact/desktop wraps that same UI in a native window and adds OS notifications and a dock badge — download it for macOS https://omnigent.ai/download/mac . Note The install puts two names for the same CLI on your PATH: omnigent and the shorter omni . They're interchangeable. Tip On first run, Omnigent picks up model credentials already in your environment an ANTHROPIC API KEY / OPENAI API KEY , or a claude / codex CLI you're logged into and offers one as the default. omnigent Or launch a specific agent runtime, or your own agent: omnigent claude Claude Code, in a session your team can join omnigent codex Codex omnigent run path/to/agent.yaml your own agent see "Write your own agent" Two example agents ship with the repo, and they make good first sessions: omnigent run examples/polly/ omnigent run examples/debby/ Run an orchestrator on a different harness sub-agents keep their own : omnigent run examples/polly/ --harness pi omnigent run examples/debby/ --harness openai-agents 🐙 Polly is a multi-agent coding orchestrator who writes no code herself. She's the tech lead: she plans, delegates the work to coding sub-agents Claude Code, Codex, or Pi in parallel git worktrees, then routes each diff to a reviewer from a different vendor than the one that wrote it. You merge. 🟠🔵 Debby is a brainstorming partner with two heads, one Claude and one GPT. Every question you ask goes to both heads, and she lays the two answers out side by side. Type /debate and the heads critique each other for a few rounds before converging. She needs both a Claude and an OpenAI credential; see step 3. Prefer the browser? Start a server and register your machine as a host: omnigent server start start the local server and web UI in the background omnigent host separate terminal register this machine as a host In the web UI, hit New Chat , pick your machine, and go. Check status with omnigent server status ; stop everything with omnigent stop . omnigent setup Add a credential, set a default, or remove one, grouped by agent. Omnigent works with four kinds of credentials: | Kind | What it is | | |---|---|---| | 🔑 | API key | A first-party vendor key for Anthropic, OpenAI, and similar providers | | 🎟️ | Subscription | A Claude Pro/Max or ChatGPT plan, via the official claude / codex CLIs | | 🌐 | Gateway | Any OpenAI- or Anthropic-compatible base url and key OpenRouter, LiteLLM, Ollama, vLLM, Azure | | 🧱 | Databricks | A Databricks workspace profile requires the databricks extra | Defaults are per agent, so a Claude default and a Codex default coexist. You can also switch models in the middle of a session with the /model command. Gateway base URLs OpenRouter, Ollama When you add a Gateway credential, omnigent setup asks for a base URL and a key. The base URL depends on which agent you point it at: | Provider | For | Base URL | Key | |---|---|---|---| OpenRouter | Claude Code | https://openrouter.ai/api | your OpenRouter key sk-or-… | OpenRouter | Codex / OpenAI agents | https://openrouter.ai/api/v1 | your OpenRouter key sk-or-… | Ollama local | Codex / OpenAI agents | http://localhost:11434/v1 | any value Ollama ignores it | For Claude Code, point at OpenRouter's Anthropic-compatible endpoint …/api , not …/api/v1 . For Codex and the OpenAI-agents harness, use the OpenAI-compatible …/api/v1 . Run Omnigent on a server with a stable URL deploy/README.md https://github.com/omnigent-ai/omnigent/blob/main/deploy/README.md is the full guide and your sessions become reachable from anywhere, including your phone. The web UI is built for mobile, so you get the same chat, sub-agents, terminals, and files, in sync with your laptop. One docker compose up runs the server on any host you have a VPS, a home server ; Render deploys with one click; Fly.io, Railway, Hugging Face Spaces, and Modal are covered too. The server can also provision a cloud sandbox per session managed hosts , so no laptop has to stay online. The full menu of targets, the database options, and the sandbox setup live in deploy/README.md https://github.com/omnigent-ai/omnigent/blob/main/deploy/README.md . Once the server is up, sign in and register your laptop as a host: omnigent login https://your-host sign in once; run / attach / host reuse the token omnigent host https://your-host new sessions can now run on this machine Tip On your own network you don't need a deploy. Open your machine's LAN address on your phone e.g. http://192.168.x.x:6767 . Omnigent supports multi-user accounts , controlled by one environment variable: OMNIGENT AUTH ENABLED=1 omnigent server start The Docker deploy in step 4 turns it on for you OMNIGENT AUTH ENABLED defaults to 1 there .Open the web UI http://localhost:6767 locally, or your host's URL and sign in as admin ; first run prints the password and saves it locally. Then open Admin → Members → Invite to create a single-use invite link, no email server needed. Send it over; your teammate opens it, sets a password, and they're in. Signup is invite-only. Note Teammates need to be able to reach the server. A local server is only reachable on your network; for anyone off it, deploy an always-on host see step 4 4-deploy-a-server-and-use-it-from-your-phone . - Share a live session. Hit Share in the web UI and send the link; teammates watch your agent work and chat with it in real time. - Co-drive. A teammate co-attaches to your running session; their messages execute on your machine. Great for pairing or handing the keyboard to a domain expert mid-investigation. omnigent attach
