For the post-code developer
Code is dead.
So stop reading it. Design what you want in plain language; a team of agents plans it, builds it, and checks its own work. You judge the result by running it, never by opening a file.
Proof: Panwright was built by the workflow it ships. A quarter-million lines of Rust and TypeScript, zero written by hand, in under a month. Think it’s slop? Run it.

Token costs
We do better when you spend less.
Panwright makes nothing on your token usage. You pay OpenRouter directly, at cost, on your own key, and our income is the flat subscription. So the only way we win users is to keep making the harness do more with fewer of your tokens. Most other harnesses are sold by companies that profit directly from your usage. They have no incentive to bring your costs down. We have no other incentive.
Why we built it
We spent six months inside single-chat coding assistants, 10+ hours a day. They are brilliant. They also forget what you tell them, lose the thread on long work, and either interrupt you for every small call or charge ahead for hours making calls that were yours. Panwright is what we built to fix that.
- One memory, kept by the harness. Panwright curates a single project memory instead of letting every agent keep its own notes, and surfaces only what matters for the task at hand. Explain a decision once, and every agent knows it.
- Compaction that holds. Long runs keep their thread instead of drifting as the context fills up.
- Structured workflows and audits. Work moves through real phases, and the result gets audited, not just generated.
- Agents that talk to each other. They coordinate directly instead of routing every message back through you.
- A hierarchy that shields you. Supervisors handle the routine and escalate only the calls that genuinely need you.
- Costs: Not an arm and a leg. A spread of models at different costs and strengths puts the expensive ones only where their judgment earns it.
How it works
Three moves. No code in sight.
You design, a studio of agents builds, you verify by running it. That is the whole loop.
Design
Sketch the features and what each should do. Panwright fills in the details and flags the calls you never made, so you weigh in only where it matters.
Build
One agent plans the work and hands it out. The rest build in parallel, review each other, and test as they go. Every project remembers your decisions.
Run
No diffs to approve. Panwright shows the behaviors you asked for, working, and says in plain words what it did. Off the mark? Say what to change.
A studio, not a single bot
Pan is a general assistant that keeps you posted on your projects and steers them on your guidance. Under it, a studio of agents plans the work, builds in parallel, and reviews itself, the way a real team would. Step in anywhere, from your desktop or your phone.
Put your best model where it matters
Panwright runs on OpenRouter. Connect one key and every model on it is yours to assign. Give planning and review a frontier model, where judgment earns its cost. Hand the grunt work to a fast, cheap one. Change your mind whenever.
Know where every dollar goes
Panwright meters every call and folds it into a live breakdown: by project, by feature, by model, and by agent role. Set a spending cap and it pauses a project before it runs past it.
On your terms
Your machine. Your key. Your call.
Panwright runs on your computer and answers to you, not to us.
Runs on your machine
Your projects and keys stay on your device. Your work never passes through our servers.
Billed at cost
Model usage runs through your own key at cost. We add nothing on top.
Steer from your phone
Pair your phone to follow the team and redirect it from anywhere. The link is end-to-end encrypted, so our relay cannot read your data.
Setup
Bring your own OpenRouter key.
Panwright runs the agents on your own OpenRouter account. You pay OpenRouter directly for model usage, at cost, and your subscription does not include it.
