Built by one developer.
For anyone who runs agents.
The Story
Managing multiple AI agents across terminals is chaos. You end up with five terminal windows, can't tell which agent is doing what, costs pile up invisibly, and when something goes wrong you're scrolling through walls of text trying to find the problem. It doesn't scale. It doesn't have to.
The insight was simple: what if the IDE itself understood agents? Not another chat wrapper. Not another VS Code extension. A purpose-built desktop app where agents run alongside your code, each with its own context and tools, coordinated automatically. Something designed for people who actually build with AI every day.
I built Ironspire in weeks, not months. 19 milestones shipped. 341 plans executed. Three supporting libraries written from scratch: the Foundry engine (orchestration), Corpus engine (cross-agent memory), and Relay engine (agent communication). Every feature came from someone who runs AI agents every single day and got tired of the mess.
The goal: make AI agent teams accessible to everyone. You shouldn't need to be a terminal wizard to run an agent team. You should be able to see what's happening, step in when needed, and stay in control.
