## Description

Helix runs fleets of AI coding agents on your infrastructure. Each agent gets an isolated GPU-accelerated Linux desktop with browser, terminal, and GUI apps. Work flows through a spec-driven Kanban board: describe the outcome, a planner writes a spec, you approve, an implementer codes in its sandbox and opens a PR. Multiple agents run in parallel; teammates can watch, steer, or hand off across time zones. Integrates with Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, Qwen, Goose, Zed, and any ACP agent. Supports hosted and self-hosted LLMs via vLLM, Ollama, or OpenAI-compatible endpoints. Includes RAG, MCP tools, tracing, OIDC SSO, billing, automation, and Slack/Discord/email notifications. Deploy via Docker, Kubernetes Helm, Mac app, or Sovereign Server appliance. Source-available license: free for personal, educational, and small business; paid for larger commercial use.
