guilds.run
Create multi-agent workflows that you can trust
What guilds.run does
guilds.run runs standing teams of AI agents that you can see inside. A guild is a team of agents, each with its own role, model and tools, sharing a chat, notes and tables. Agents wake up on a schedule, through a routine, or when a person or another agent calls them. Every run keeps the exact prompt the model saw, every tool call and its result, every memory change and who wrote each note, so you can trace how one agent’s mistake carried into the next agent’s work.
A built-in assistant called Studio reads a live team’s runs, notes and memory and drafts fixes for you to review; nothing changes until you publish. Each agent gets a sandboxed workspace with a terminal, reusable scripts and an optional browser. You can pick a different model for each agent, from Claude, GPT, Gemini and Grok to open-weight models through OpenRouter, DeepInfra or Ollama, using your own keys. Connectors include Notion, Gmail, Google Drive, GitHub and X, with Slack, Linear, Google Calendar and LinkedIn listed as coming soon. Teams can be exported as recipe files.
guilds.run is open source under the AGPL-3.0 licence and runs on your own machine with Docker. A hosted version is announced but not yet available. It is made by Cigale AI and launched on Product Hunt on 12 October 2026, finishing #4 for the day with 193 upvotes and 46 comments.
We have not tested guilds.run ourselves. This page brings together its official site, pricing page and GitHub README, its Product Hunt page and the official pricing pages of comparable tools, and says where each fact comes from.
What people use guilds.run for
- Running a team of agents for ongoing work such as growth, sales research or support
- Tracing where a multi-agent workflow went wrong, run by run
- Monitoring mentions across social platforms into a shared table (templates for this were promised at launch)
- Mixing models, with a different model for each agent
- Testing a workflow before letting agents run it for real
The launch story
Emmanuel Chappat says getting AI to handle long-running tasks reliably takes more than good prompts. It is a system-design problem: deciding how agents work together, anticipating edge cases, and being able to debug and tune things when they go wrong.
guilds.run is built to make the whole system understandable, so you can trace how mistakes spread between agents, fix the cause and check whether the fix worked. The team open-sourced it to see what others build and to share working teams for real use cases. At launch he announced two next steps: sharing recipes for whole agent teams, and a hosted mode.

What users liked, asked and criticised
- Self-hosting plus visibility into every tool call, which commenters linked to trust
- Debugging tools for people who aren't developers
- Coordinating agents across X, Reddit, LinkedIn and Instagram into one spreadsheet (templates promised)
- Whether a hosted version is coming (yes, soon)
- How it copes when agents on different models depend on each other's outputs
- Whether you can test a workflow safely before it runs for real (yes)
self hostable + you can see every tool call, thats what makes agents trustable imo
As more non-developers start building with AI, we'll need ways for them to understand and debug the systems they create.
Can I test a workflow safely before letting the agents run it for real?
Could I use guilds run to coordinate multiple agents across X, Reddit, LinkedIn, and Instagram?

Docker. Clone the repository, run the setup script, start it with Docker Compose, open it in your browser and paste a model API key, as the README describes.
Which AI models can agents use?
Claude, GPT, Gemini and Grok, and open-weight models such as Qwen, DeepSeek, Kimi, Llama, Mistral and GLM through OpenRouter, DeepInfra or Ollama. Each agent can use a different model.
Can I test a workflow before it runs for real?
Yes. The maker said on Product Hunt that his co-founder does this all the time when building workflows.
