What Proliferate does

Proliferate lets teams manage a fleet of AI agents from the desktop, locally or in the cloud. It is an open-source, self-hostable platform for building company-specific background agents. Each agent gets its own sandbox with secure access to internal services, can trigger from any event, and exposes a live, multiplayer preview so teammates can verify the work together.

Key capabilities

  • Manage agents running locally or in the cloud from one interface
  • Per-agent sandboxes with secure access to internal services
  • Event-driven triggers
  • Multiplayer sessions where teammates check logs and steer agents in real time
  • Open source and self-hostable

Who it's for

Proliferate is aimed at engineering teams, supporting use cases like on-call triage, flaky test sweeps, and large-scale migrations across microservices. Its differentiation is an open, self-hostable, multiplayer model for company-specific background agents. The company was founded in 2025 by Pablo Hansen and is Y Combinator-backed.
