Poolside Assistant
Poolside Assistant is a coding-agent workspace for running, supervising, and switching between multiple agents across repositories.
Poolside Assistant provides a macOS workspace for coding agents, with extensions for VS Code and Visual Studio. It connects to Poolside’s pool agent through ACP and can also work with compatible agents such as Claude Code and Codex.
Developers can run parallel sessions, isolate tasks with Git worktrees, inspect terminals, files, diffs, and GitHub status, import existing sessions, use built-in connectors, and run supported models locally through MLX. Official pricing was not published on the pages reviewed; external agent subscriptions or inference endpoints may cost extra.
Features
- Run multiple coding-agent sessions in parallel
- Connect agents through the Agent Client Protocol
- Isolate tasks with Git worktrees and branches
- Arrange conversations, terminals, files, diffs, and GitHub views
