Orkestral is a local-first desktop app where a team of AI agents works on your codebase with full context. Instead of pasting snippets into a chat window, you hand Orkestral your repositories and direct a team: a CEO agent coordinates specialists, Tech Lead, Code Reviewer, Frontend, Backend, DevOps and more, to turn your requests into trackable work.

​
The core idea

Your model plans, the Forge executes

Premium models plan the change (what files, what edits); a bundled local model, the Forge, executes it on your machine, at $0 API cost. You stay in control the whole time.
Everything runs on your machine. Your code, conversations, agents and data stay local in ~/.orkestral, no server required, free to use.

​
Why Orkestral?

A team, not a chatbot

Agents decompose a request, execute it, and review each other’s work, then report back to you in chat.

Cheap by design

The Forge runs locally, so routine execution costs nothing. Premium models are used only to plan or when the Forge needs a fallback.

Local-first & private

No telemetry. Your repositories and history never leave your computer.

One unified deck

Chat, issues, git, code review and a knowledge base live in the same workspace and feed each other.

​
Who it’s for

Orkestral is for developers and teams who want to delegate real work to AI, not just ask questions. If you have repositories and want an AI “software company” that plans, tracks, executes and reviews changes with your full context, Orkestral is built for you.
