Give the Queen a task.
In plain words, or pick a ready-made team.
She staffs it.
Ants work in parallel, in real browser tabs and real code.

Not another chatbot.
A single agent is one worker in one chat. A colony is an organisation.
| Feature | A single chatbot agent | AntColony |
|---|---|---|
| Who does the work | One agent, one conversation | A Queen and ants, in parallel |
| Memory | Per conversation | Storerooms shared across runs |
| Permissions | Whatever the agent has | An authority tree, nest by nest |
| While it runs | You wait | You steer, or take the wheel |
| Recurring work | You prompt it again | Routines run on a schedule |
Your Mac. Your model.

Questions, answered
What is AntColony?
AntColony is a Mac app that runs a team of AI agents, called ants, for you. You give the Queen a task. She reads the colony's memory, staffs the job with ants that fit, runs them in parallel, and merges their work into one answer while you watch it live.
Which computers does AntColony run on?
AntColony is a desktop app for macOS. Builds are made for Apple silicon (arm64) and Intel (x64) Macs; the Apple silicon build is the one that has been tested.
Do I need an API key?
No key is needed to try it: demo mode runs a simulated colony, and the first ant does a short real browse so you can watch. Real runs use your own Anthropic key, which the app keeps encrypted with the macOS Keychain.
Can the ants really use a web browser?
Yes. The app contains a real Chromium browser. Ants open pages, read them, click, type and scroll in their own tabs, all sharing one logged-in session, and you see each ant's browser live in the side panel.
How do I stop an ant from doing something I don't want?
Ants only visit sites the colony is allowed to open, and they ask you first before reaching a new one. Risky clicks such as send, pay, delete, post and submit wait for your yes. Ants can never type into password fields, and you can take the wheel of any browser at any time.
Can AntColony write code?
Yes. Point the colony at a code folder and its engineering team runs Claude Code in a safe copy on its own branch. Every build goes brief, spec, build, checks and review, and nothing lands until you press Merge.
