Since moving my company towards AI-native work, I have been really frustrated by the state of "agentic engineering" environments. Products by the labs (claude code, codex) lock you into a single provider for your tokens. Agnostic solutions (factory, devin, arguably cursor) make you pay per-token costs. None of these products allow you to fully customize the harness, and of course they all run on someone else's infrastructure.
I've been an early and fervent user of pi, which I think is fantastically simple and beautiful software. I have felt it needs an environment for it to work across platforms with fully functional composability for teams.
This is very much a work in progress, but for my team this has been a much needed solution and has helped us tremendously. I hope you will give it a try and let me know how you would like it to improve.

Otherwise, the main benefit here is for people to be able to clearly define all of their pi and agent config at the org, user, and project level. This most directly benefits teams of people working together, but I also find it helps me as a single user working on multiple projects on multiple devices.

I am running deepseek harness as self hosted app on tarvis for myself. You can run pi as self hosted harness there too by telling the agent to set it up and then access on the go from the browser.
