Multica
Multica is a workspace where issues are assigned to AI coding agents, which run through locally installed agent CLIs such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and Copilot (26 listed). A daemon on your own machine executes the work next to your code and reports progress back to the issue, which ends in review rather than main. The backend is Go with PostgreSQL 17, and clients cover web, Electron desktop and an Expo mobile app.
Who it is for: Teams coordinating several coding agents on their own machines and Git host
Strengths
- Drives 26 existing agent CLIs, so no model or API lock-in
- Execution log replays every tool call, command and error per run
- Daemon runs on your own machine, so code stays there
- Self-host via Docker Compose or Helm; works with GitHub, GitLab, Gitea, Forgejo
Weaknesses
- Does not ship agents; each runtime needs a CLI installed and signed in
- Custom Multica License (Apache 2.0 plus conditions on hosting, embedding, branding)
- Requires Docker, a Go backend and PostgreSQL 17 to self-host
- iOS app builds from source only; DingTalk, WeCom, Telegram are community-maintained
- no GPU
- Docker + Compose
- Needs PostgreSQL 17, Docker, agent CLI (Claude Code, Codex, etc.)
- Models: Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Cursor Agent, GitHub Copilot CLI, OpenCode
AutoGPT
AutoGPT Platform lets you describe a job in plain English (AutoPilot) or wire blocks on a visual canvas, then run the agent on demand, on a schedule or from a trigger, with a dashboard of runs and costs and a marketplace of shared agents. It connects to 45+ platforms such as Gmail, Slack, GitHub and Notion. Self-hosting is free with your own Docker host and model API keys; the hosted platform is paid.
Who it is for: Non-developers and teams wanting scheduled agents over SaaS tools
Strengths
- Plain-English AutoPilot and a drag-and-connect block builder for the same agent
- Agents run on demand, on schedules or from triggers with a run and cost dashboard
- 45+ integrations including Gmail, Google Sheets, GitHub, Slack, Notion, Jira, Salesforce
- Classic standalone agent still shipped under MIT in classic/
Weaknesses
- Platform code is Polyform Shield: no offering it as a competing hosted service
- README has no self-host commands; the single-container installer is still unreleased
- Windows self-hosting is manual-guide only
- Hosted platform charges per agent run; README is largely marketing
- no GPU
- Needs Docker
