What it does

Helix is an AI agent orchestration platform for engineering teams and other organizations. It runs coding agents in isolated environments that include a desktop, terminal, filesystem, and browser. Teams can give an agent a specification, let it plan and implement work in a sandbox, then review its plan and pull request before merging. Operators can watch agent activity live and pair-program with an agent.

The platform also supports conversational agent apps and persistent, role-based workers. Helix is available as managed Helix Cloud, a Mac app, or self-hosted on Linux and Kubernetes; the documentation describes the Mac app as local on Apple Silicon. Supported coding agents include Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Gemini CLI, Qwen Code, Goose, and Zed Agent. Model access uses configured providers or local models. Helix is aimed particularly at engineering teams scaling the use of coding agents; the company’s enterprise contact page specifies teams with 20 or more developers. Cloud has a 72-hour trial requiring a credit card. The Mac option uses your own API keys, a Claude subscription, or local Ollama models, so external model costs may apply.

Get started

Pricing page says a credit card is required for the trial.

  1. Choose managed Helix Cloud, the Mac app, or a Linux/Kubernetes deployment.
  2. Select and configure a supported coding agent and its model provider; Mac users can instead configure their own API key, use a Claude subscription, or run Ollama locally.
  3. Create a spec task, run the agent in its sandbox, and review its plan and pull request before merging.
