Is DevThrottle an AI agent?

No. DevThrottle does not write code and is not an agent - it is the control room for the agents you already run. It lines up Claude Code, Codex, and your other tools on one board so you can see what each is doing at a glance and answer them by voice. You bring the agents and their subscriptions, and running them through DevThrottle costs nothing.

The app is free forever. The only thing for sale is prepaid credits, which pay for hosted AI features like transcription at a published rate card. The free version is not a trial and never expires.

Which coding agents does it work with?

It works with the AI coding agents you already use - Claude Code, Codex, Aider, Gemini, and others - across different tools at the same time. You keep your existing agent and subscription; DevThrottle runs and watches them all on one board.

Agents and models

3 min read

DevThrottle runs the coding agents you already use - Claude Code by default, plus Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot CLI, Gemini, OpenCode, Grok, Pi, or any command-line agent you bring yourself. This page covers how you tell the Director about an agent and shape how it launches. (Which agent should you use? That is the supported agents page.)

The agent editor

Open Settings -> Agents and hit + Add Agent. The editor is one form with a live preview:

Agent type and Display name - pick the backend and what to call it. Custom covers any CLI agent not on the list.
Executable - where the agent's command lives, with Detect this tool to find it for you and Quick check to prove it runs.
Advanced launch - stay Guided (a preset plus a Choose model... picker listing the models the agent actually reports) or switch to a full custom command line when you know exactly what you want.
The right side always shows the exact command that will launch and the effective permissions - no surprises. Launch preview opens a throwaway terminal to try it without saving anything.

Tip

The same Settings tab is where you enable, disable, and reorder agents - the order controls how they appear in the New Session dialog.

Memory and output style (slash commands)

Two agent-shaping tools live behind slash commands in the prompt bar rather than menus:

/memory - edit the CLAUDE.md memory files (your user-level file, the current project's file, and auto-memory) in place.
/output-style - choose how the agent formats its responses.

Note

Deeper launch tooling - reusable agent templates and an MCP server manager - is in alpha and not part of the standard app yet. This page will grow when those ship.
