Magnolia

See every AI agent at work. Step in only where it needs you.

Magnolia is a visual office for your AI agents. Each company is a tower on your HQ campus, each project is a floor, and each step of the work is a room. See what Claude Code, Codex, Grok and the rest are doing, what needs you, what's stuck and what's actually done, at a glance.

A 2.5D floor plan shows rooms for Research, Keyword map, Drafts, Check claims and Publish, with small agent characters labelled Claude, Codex and GLM at desks. The Publish room is outlined in amber with the note '4 ready for you'. The EA panel on the right explains what Codex is checking.

Your agents, as an office

  2. TowerA companyOne tower per company on the campus.
  3. FloorA projectOne floor per project inside that tower.
  4. RoomA stepOne room per step of the work. Agents sit where they're working.

Three office towers and a small house sit on a green campus, each with a label: BVM with '4 articles ready for you', Magnolia 'Building onboarding screens', Allenix 'Video 16 ready to record', and Personal 'Quiet'. The top bar reads 10 working, 2 needs you, 1 stuck, 5 done today. The HQ campus view in the dusk theme, with one tower per company and a status label above each.

Two views of every project

Office is 2.5D, with agents as small characters in rooms. Blueprint is a flat diagram. Same rooms, same order, so switching never loses your place.

Your EA, in the right panel

Ask "what's happening?" and it answers from recorded facts. It can point things out on screen so you see exactly what it means.

Needs you

Only what needs you, pulses

Everything else stays still. Decisions wait in one ranked list, and each one tells you why it's there.

  • The reasonWhy this is waiting on you and not on an agent.
  • The evidenceWhat the agents found or produced, so you can judge it.
  • If you approveWhat happens next, before you click.
  • Your choiceApprove once. Always allow, which becomes a visible rule you can edit. Or deny.

Passwords, payments and legal terms always come back to you. No rule can wave them through.

Real events only

Honest by design

Things move on the screen only when something really happens. No progress bars that guess.

Done

The work was finished. Needs its own evidence.

Checked

Something verified it. Needs separate evidence.

Accepted

You signed off. Never assumed from the other two.

Unknown

If Magnolia can't tell, it says so. Unknown stays unknown.

Built for real workflows

Agent work rarely runs in a straight line. Magnolia shows the parallel work, loops and detours as they happen.

  • Parallel runsthe same steps for several items at once
  • Loopsrepeat until tests pass
  • Send-backsa reviewer returns the work
  • Hidden testskept away from the builders
  • Rules"3 tries, then ask me"
