Developers are now using multiple powerful AI agents, like Claude Code, directly on their machines to help with coding, but they're hitting a wall trying to manage them all. There's a clear demand for a central tool to see what all these agents are doing (state visibility) and coordinate their work (orchestration), because right now it's a messy, manual process.
Opportunity
Everyone's running multiple local AI coding agents like Claude Code, but they're flying blind, complaining about a lack of 'orchestration and state visibility.' You could build a simple desktop app that acts as a 'mission control' for these local agents, letting users see what each agent is working on, assign new tasks, and even hit a 'pause' button if an agent goes rogue. The first person to ship a super clean UI for this on Product Hunt will own the frustrated vibe coder market, and you could probably get a basic version working this weekend.
Evidence
“I’ve been running an increasing number of local coding agents (Claude Code, Codex CLI, OpenCode, etc.) and I’ve hit a wall: orchestration and state visibility.”
