About Symposium
Symposium is an exploratory project that aims to create a more collaborative, rich experience when using agents. Symposium includes GUI features like taskspaces and walkthroughs that let the agent go beyond text but also language-specific extensions that help the agent to do a better job writing code (currently focused on Rust, but we'd like to do more).
Symposium's goal is to be opinonated about how you work with agents, steering you to more collaborative, producted workflows, but unopinionated about the tools you use to work, supporting all the editors, agents, and other things that people love.
Symposium is an open-source project and we are actively soliciting contributors, trying to build up an engaged community. We also welcome users, of course, but given the exploratory nature of Symposium, want to caution you to not to expact a highly stable tool (as but one example, the only way to install Symposium at present is from source, and you can expect frequent changes).
We want Symposium to be...
Open
We are an independent community focused on exploring what AI has to offer.
Collaborative
We value rich interactions where humans and agents work together to explore complex ideas.
Orchestrated
We build tools to manage multiple agents, keeping you up-to-date on their progress.
- Taskspaces on your local machine
- Asynchronous background agents
- Remotely hosted taskspaces
- Windows, Linux apps
Decentralized
We want to engage library authors in making their users successful with AI.
- Help LLMs find Rust examples and crate sources
- IDE integration for context-aware discussions
- Crate-author guidance system
- Library-provided MCP servers
- Community pattern sharing
- Domain-specific lints from libraries
Interoperable
Use the editors you use. We love standards and widespread conventions, not lock-in.
