paseo: what it is, what problem it solves & why it's gaining traction

What it solves

Paseo provides a single, unified interface to manage and run multiple AI coding agents (such as Claude Code, Codex, Copilot, OpenCode, and Pi) in parallel on your own machine. It eliminates the need to switch between different agent CLIs and allows you to control your development environment from various devices, including mobile phones and desktops.

How it works

Paseo uses a local server called a "daemon" that orchestrates agent processes. This daemon manages the agent CLIs installed on your machine and provides a WebSocket API. Clients—including a desktop app, mobile app, web app, and CLI—connect to this daemon to send tasks and monitor output. It also supports "Skills" that allow agents to orchestrate other agents for complex workflows like hand-offs, loops, and committee-based root cause analysis.

Who it’s for

Developers who use multiple AI coding agents and want a centralized, cross-device control center to run them self-hosted for better privacy and environment integration.

Highlights

• Multi-provider support: Unified interface for Claude Code, Codex, Copilot, OpenCode, and Pi.
• Cross-device access: Control agents via iOS, Android, desktop, web, and CLI.
• Self-hosted: Agents run locally with your full dev environment and configurations.
• Agent orchestration: Specialized skills for hand-offs, agent loops, and advisor/committee modes.
• Privacy-first: No telemetry, tracking, or forced logins.
• Voice control: Support for dictating tasks and talking through problems.
