Platform Capabilities

The engine for the
one-person unicorn.

Every feature in Colony is built to multiply your individual capacity. Manage complex architectures and ship at team scale without the overhead.

CORE

Design your swarm. Visually.

Drag-and-drop workflow editor. Nine node types: Start, Plan, Subtasks, Code, Test, LLM Review, Human Review, Deploy, End. Connect them into any workflow you need. Each node gets its own AI provider, model, system prompt, timeout, and retry policy.

  • Visual canvas with drag-and-drop
  • Per-node config: model, provider, prompt, timeout
  • Templates or build from zero
INTELLIGENCE

Every node. Any model.

Claude Opus for planning. Codex for code generation. Gemini for lightweight review. Over 20 model versions across three providers, assignable per node. Mix reasoning-heavy models with fast ones in the same workflow.

  • Claude, Codex, Gemini — 20+ model versions
  • Configurable reasoning effort per node
  • Extended thinking for architecture decisions
QUALITY

One AI writes. A different AI checks.

Drop an LLM Review node after any code node. A second model evaluates independently. Structured feedback loops back. Up to four iterations. Auto-fix mode for small corrections. Block-on-fail for zero tolerance.

  • Up to 4 review-and-refine iterations
  • Auto-fix: reviewer corrects directly
  • Structured verdicts with explicit criteria
VISUALIZATION

See your colony at work.

Isometric 3D view of your entire system. Services, connections, agent activity—rendered live. Watch your swarm move across your architecture in real-time. Status indicators per service.

  • Live agent activity on services
  • Service health with color-coded status
  • Drag to pan, scroll to zoom
COMMAND

Command center, not chat window.

The Evidence Panel shows you exactly what each agent is thinking. Task list, live streaming logs, and decision summaries with full diffs. Assign tasks, monitor output, intervene with one click.

  • Evidence Panel with diffs, tests, and logs
  • Real-time streaming logs per agent
  • One-click approve, reject, or modify
MANAGEMENT

AI-native task management.

Cards move automatically from Backlog to Done as agents progress. Bi-directional GitHub sync ensures your issues and labels are always up to date. Sentry integration for auto-fixing production errors.

  • Bi-directional GitHub Issues & Labels sync
  • Sentry integration for automated bug PRs
  • Automatic Kanban card progression

And everything else.

Workflow Templates

Feature, bugfix, refactor, hotfix. Pre-built, forkable, assignable per issue type.

Bring Your Own Keys

Connect API keys for Claude, Codex, Gemini. Mix BYOK and managed credits. No markup on API calls.

GitHub Integration

Bi-directional sync: issues, labels, PRs. Webhook-driven, real-time. Not polling.

Cloud Workspaces

Persistent containers per project. Auto sleep/wake. Full terminal access. Real environments, not sandboxes.

Protected Zones

Mark files and directories off-limits. Enforced at execution level. Violation halts immediately.

Cost Tracking

Per-agent, per-task attribution. Workspace budgets. Alerts before overruns. Model comparison analytics.
