Features

Every agent update, the instant it happens

An agent claims a task, finishes a subtask, hits a blocker. You see it in Beadbox within milliseconds. Switch between workspaces to monitor every project your fleet touches. No refresh. No polling.

Trace every dependency chain

Agents decompose epics into subtasks and wire up dependencies. The tree view shows you exactly how work is structured, what percentage is complete, and what’s blocking the next step.

Redirect any agent with a click

Reprioritize a task, reassign to a different agent, update a description. Your agents pick up changes on their next cycle. The human stays in control.
