Bees Overview

Bees is a free, open source desktop app (MIT and Apache 2.0) that runs a team of AI agents on your own computer. You give it a goal, it splits the work into stages, and a separate reviewer agent passes each result or sends it back. After three rounds a stage stops and waits for a person, so nothing counts as done unchecked. Files, keys and browser sessions stay on your machine. Each agent can use Claude Code, Codex, your own OpenAI, Anthropic, OpenRouter or Google key, or a local model through the bundled llama.cpp. Version 0.2.0 is out for Mac, Windows and Linux.
