## About

Podium is an open-source agent development environment (Apache-2.0). It combines an agent-native issue tracker with a coordinator for coding agents such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenCode, Grok and Pi. You prompt your idea together with the software factory you want, and the coordinator agent turns it into tasks, subtasks and dependencies, brings in the other agents and follows their results. Tasks, decisions, handoffs and results live on a board you and your agents share. Podium runs on your Mac or on a Linux VPS you own, and you can follow the work from the desktop app, your phone or a browser.
