Deputies is an open-source control plane for running AI coding agents as background tasks in managed sandboxes, with a web UI for monitoring progress and artifacts. It offers team-oriented features like shared history, callbacks, and integrations with Slack/GitHub, differentiating itself from terminal-bound agent tools. Its early-stage status and focus on self-hosted deployment for teams make it an interesting foundation for production agent workflows.

Target audience: backend devs, devops, data engineers
