Meta acquires Conductor: Cloud version to shut down on November 20, original product to exit next year.

Beating AI News Flash: Meta has acquired AI coding tool Conductor. Founder Charlie Holtz announced that the team will join Meta Superintelligence Labs (MSL) to collaborate with Nat Friedman and Alexandr Wang on developing new products.

Conductor is a tool that can manage multiple Coding Agents simultaneously. It supports Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and OpenCode, and can assign tasks to different Agents, allowing them to work in parallel in their own independent code branches. Developers can view progress, review code changes, and merge results in a single interface.

Conductor was launched in July 2025 and had just completed a $22 million Series A funding round in March this year. Its official website states that more than 100,000 developers have used it.

However, the acquisition also means the original Conductor is about to be phased out. Starting November 4, new user registration and downloads will stop; the cloud version will become read-only on November 13, officially shut down on November 20, and begin deleting cloud user data. The local version can still be used for now, but will also be gradually shut down in early 2027.

Charlie Holtz said the team plans to launch a new development tool interface early next year. Some users in the community have expressed disappointment over the shutdown and begun looking for alternative tools, while others have called for Conductor to be open-sourced.
