A.I. team orchestrator

Run a team of AI agents with your Chief of Staff

BrainMocker is a desktop app that runs a team of AI agents for you. The built-in Chief of Staff agent breaks down your goals into tasks, assigns them to specialist agents on a Kanban board, and only checks in when your rules say so.

01How it works

Brief in.
Shipped work out.

You stay strategic. The Chief of Staff handles the choreography between agents, the file system, and the board.

01

Drop a folder, write an objective

Point at any folder on disk — empty, half-built, legacy. State the outcome you want in plain English.

OBJECTIVE
A todo list app that's visually polished with premium UX.
~/Desktop/projects/react-site
02

Chief of Staff drafts a plan

Tasks, owners, priorities — proposed in a Kanban board you can edit before a single token gets spent.

03

Agents work. You watch the board.

Each task gets its own AI agent that can read your files and run commands on your computer, just like you would. You watch progress live on the card.

02Configure your team

One agent you talk to.
Workers you compose.

The Chief of Staff is built in. Worker agents are simple text files in your workspace — give them a name, describe their job, and pick what they're allowed to do.

built-in orchestrator

chief-of-staff

Reads what you want done, drafts a plan, and hands tasks to the right specialists. Checks every agent question against the rules you've written — answers what it can, sends the rest to your inbox. Quietly nudges the project forward on its own.

04Built for delegating real work

A workspace, not a chatbox.

A coordination layer that gives agents the same access you have, with the same guardrails you'd give a team.

Hard rules, not vibes

Write your standing decisions in a plain rules file. The Chief of Staff applies them every time an agent has a question — answers what's covered, asks you for the rest. Payments and anything irreversible always come back to you.

Safe by default

Every task runs in its own sandbox with only the tools handed to it. Each agent's access to tools and apps is configured individually.

Watch the work happen

See each agent think and act in real time. You always know exactly what your team is doing and why.

Keeps the project moving

The moment a task wraps, the Chief of Staff takes stock and lines up the next steps toward your goal — but only when there's real work to do. Momentum without the micromanaging.

One inbox for decisions

Approvals, payments, new role proposals — all collected in one place. Agents wait patiently until you decide. You can also have the Chief of Staff post a daily or weekly digest to your inbox.

Every action on the record

When agents act through your connected apps, each call is logged — who did what and whether it worked.

Automation per column

Run a command whenever a task moves columns. Like running tests on review or deploys on done.

Workflows that repeat

For work you do more than once, save a multi-step pipeline and run it the same way every time — by hand, on a schedule, or when something happens. Approvals and stuck-agent questions land in your inbox; the rest runs itself.

05Under the hood

Local, transparent, no cloud middleman.

BrainMocker runs entirely on your computer. It uses the Claude account you already log into — no separate API key, no extra bill, no data leaving your machine.

Runs on

Your Mac

A native Mac app. Close the window and every background process shuts down cleanly.

Powered by

Claude Code

Each task runs in its own sandboxed Claude Code session with only the tools BrainMocker hands it.

Stored as

Plain text files

Your workspace is just a folder. Open it in any editor, back it up like any other folder.

Signs in with

Your Claude login

Uses the Claude account you're already logged into. No new account, no extra password.
