{"slug": "show-hn-letthembuild-claude-code-codex-gemini-and-openrouter-in-parallel", "title": "Show HN: LetThemBuild – Claude Code, Codex, Gemini and OpenRouter in Parallel", "summary": "LetThemBuild launched as a desktop app that runs Claude Code, Codex, Gemini and Grok in parallel, with one model leading a task while the others review the work, run checks and report exit codes on a per-answer receipt. The app works in a git worktree on macOS, Windows or Linux and supports the Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI and Grok Build subscriptions or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint, with runs steerable from the Mac, web, iPhone or a terminal via \"ltb cloud.\" LetThemBuild offers four effort modes — Quick, Compare, Consensus and Deep — and states that nothing leaves the user's machine unless they choose the \"Our Keys\" option.", "body_md": "One leads. Three review the work, run checks, and show their evidence. All in your own checkout — Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini and Grok out of the box, or any of hundreds more through your own endpoint.\n\nHand a task to the cloud from the Mac, the web, the iPhone, or ltb cloud in a terminal.\n\nWatch From Any Device\n\nFollow each step, approve a command and stop the run from whichever device is in your hand. The Mac can stay closed.\n\nThe Whole Room Goes Too\n\nThe lead does the work, the reviewers check it before it counts as done, and the warden looks at every action.\n\nComes Back as a Branch\n\nPull Back makes the work a branch of its own, Open PR opens a pull request, and Move Back to This Mac carries on here.\n\nEvery review comes with a receipt.\n\nThe commands each reviewer ran, and their exit codes, on the receipt under every answer. You see exactly what they checked, what passed, and what didn’t. “Looks good to me” doesn’t count: a reviewer that ran nothing is marked as one that ran nothing.\n\nThe group works in a git worktree on macOS, Windows or Linux. Nothing leaves your machine unless you choose Our Keys, and the app says so before you do.\n\n▾ MyProject\n\nsrc\n\ntests\n\npackage.json\n\n$ ltb run \"add rate limiting\"\n\n› lead: building…\n\n› reviewers: running checks…\n\n› agreed ✓ exit 0\n\nYour keys.
