Introducing Build Depot
Build Depot is a hosted place to build software with Claude agents. You describe what you want, agents build the parts in parallel, and you review every change before it ships.
Build Depot is a hosted place to build software with Claude agents. You describe what you want in a chat, Build Depot turns it into a plan, and agents build the parts at the same time. You watch it come together, try it in a live preview and decide what ships.
This post explains what it does today and the choices behind it.
What you get
- A chat that builds. Type what you want in plain words. Attach files or screenshots if they help. Pick a model and how hard it should think, or keep the defaults.
- A plan before the work. For bigger requests, a planner reads the project and writes a short plan: the goal, the parts, the files each part touches, the risks and a rough effort. You start it, change it or cancel it.
- Agents in parallel. In team mode a lead agent splits the work and starts helpers, one per part. Each helper works in its own copy of the project, so nobody steps on anyone else.
- Review and ship. Every change comes with its diff, its checks and what it cost. Merge it, open a GitHub pull request, undo it, or deploy the result.
Why parallel agents
A single agent working through a large request one step at a time is slow, and its context fills up with details from parts it finished long ago. Splitting the work lets each agent focus on one part with a clean view of it. The lead keeps the big picture, puts the parts together and checks that they fit.
Parallel work only helps if it does not turn into a mess, so each agent gets its own Git worktree and branch. Changes meet only when they are merged, one at a time, with conflict checks first.
You stay in charge
Agents never push to your remote or deploy on their own. Checks you configure run after every task, and a failing check blocks the merge. If you would rather merge each change yourself, turn autopilot off. Admins decide who can run, merge and deploy, and can cap what the team spends each month.
Try it
Go to the home page and describe something you want to build. If the planner is on for this server, you will see a short plan before you sign up. Then create an account and the same request starts in your first project.
