Meta acquires AI coding startup Conductor

Meta has confirmed it acquired Conductor, an AI coding startup whose platform lets multiple AI agents work together on software in parallel workspaces. Conductor uses agents from Anthropic, OpenAI and others. Founder and CEO Charlie Holtz said a new product will be available to customers early next year. Core features stay until early next year, but the cloud service shuts down on November 20, after which user cloud data will be deleted.

Why it matters: Meta keeps Conductor's core features until early next year, yet the cloud service closes November 20 and user cloud data starts being deleted.
