Meta acquires AI coding startup Conductor

Meta has acquired Conductor, an AI coding startup that allows users to spin up software projects by deploying multiple agents into parallel workspaces.

The news was originally reported by Axios, and Conductor shared news of its acquisition on its blog.

“I have big news: Conductor is joining Meta,” wrote the startup’s founder and CEO, Charlie Holtz, on Wednesday. “We have some big, crazy plans for the next interface,” he added, teasing that the company would have “something new” for customers to use by “early next year.”

On X, Holtz also noted that he was looking forward to working with Alexandr Wang, Meta’s chief AI officer, and Nat Friedman, head of product at the company’s Superintelligence Labs. “They’ve been on an absolute tear, and I’m convinced MSL has the highest talent density of all the labs,” he added.

Meta confirmed the acquisition to TechCrunch but wouldn’t comment further or provide additional details about the deal.

Conductor, founded in 2024, only launched its core product just last summer. The company’s agentic teams, which can be deployed in the cloud, locally, or via a user’s phone, are designed to help software engineers work on separate, compartmentalized parts of a project in concert. The agents that the platform deploys aren’t developed in-house but come from major labs like Anthropic and OpenAI.

Holtz said that, until early next year, Conductor’s core features would continue to work as they previously have. The exception is Conductor’s cloud service, which will shut down on November 20, after which the company will begin deleting user cloud data.
