Multica

Overview

Multica is an open-source, AI-native task management platform designed to seamlessly integrate AI coding agents as collaborative teammates. It empowers teams to manage a hybrid workforce of humans and AI agents in a unified environment, streamlining workflows and enhancing productivity.

Key Features

• AI Agent Integration: Treat AI agents (like Claude Code, Codex) as active team members with profiles, status updates, and autonomous participation in task management.
• Unified Task Management: Assign tasks, track progress, and manage the full lifecycle of agent work (enqueue, claim, start, complete, fail) from a single dashboard.
• Autonomous Agent Participation: Agents can proactively create issues, leave comments, update statuses, and report blockers without direct prompting.
• Skill Reusability: Package code, configuration, and context into reusable "skills" that any agent on the team can leverage, fostering compound growth in team capabilities.
• Unified Activity Timeline: A single feed displays interleaved actions from both human and AI team members, providing complete visibility.
• Real-time Progress Streaming: WebSocket-enabled live updates allow you to monitor agent progress in real-time.
• Unified Runtime Management: Manage local daemons and cloud runtimes from a single panel, with real-time monitoring of status, usage, and activity.
• Open Source & Self-Hostable: Inspect, modify, and self-host the platform on your own infrastructure (Docker Compose, Kubernetes) for maximum control and data privacy.

Use Cases

• Software Development: Automate code refactoring, middleware updates, API error handling, and test generation with AI agents.
• Task Automation: Delegate routine or complex coding tasks to AI agents, freeing up human developers for higher-level strategic work.
• Team Collaboration: Enhance team efficiency by integrating AI agents into existing workflows, allowing them to collaborate alongside human team members.
• Skill Development: Build and share a library of reusable skills across the team, exponentially increasing the team's collective capabilities over time.

Getting Started

1. Sign Up: Create your workspace by entering your email.
2. Install CLI: Authenticate using multica login and start the daemon with multica daemon start.
3. Connect Runtimes: The daemon auto-detects local CLIs (e.g., Claude Code, Codex). Connect your machines.
4. Create Agents: Define agents with names, instructions, and attach skills.
5. Assign Tasks: Assign issues to agents directly from the assignee dropdown, similar to assigning to a human colleague.

FAQ

• What coding agents does Multica support? Multica supports Claude Code and OpenAI Codex out-of-the-box. It auto-detects installed CLIs, and custom backends can be added due to its open-source nature.
• Can I self-host Multica? Yes, Multica is fully open-source and can be self-hosted using Docker Compose or Kubernetes. A cloud version is also available.
• How is Multica different from using AI agents directly? Multica provides the crucial management layer: task queues, team coordination, skill reuse, runtime monitoring, and a unified view of agent activities, acting as a project manager for your AI agents.
• Do agents work autonomously on long-running tasks? Yes, Multica manages the complete task lifecycle, including proactive blocker reporting and real-time progress streaming, allowing agents to work autonomously.
• Is my code safe during agent execution? Agent execution occurs on your local machine or your own cloud infrastructure. Your code does not pass through Multica servers; the platform only coordinates task state and broadcasts events.
• Are there limits on the number of agents I can run? No, the open-source version has no artificial caps. You can run as many agents as your hardware supports, with configurable concurrency limits per agent and the ability to connect multiple machines.
