As a power user for all tools I've used since I've started my software engineering career, I've always taken the time to test multiple tools thoroughly before deciding on one, and an agentic manager was no different.
I've tested many tools, but ultimately landed on Agent of Empires (AoE for short). Why ? Because it's fast, the development is active and it's feature complete, and easy to contribute to.
So I did (contribute). In my day to day workflow for my job, I need the ability to start agent sessions against multiple repositories, and while AoE had basic support for it, I spent some time extending it to have full project support which has just been merged! (PR #974, more optimizations coming in the next release) With it, each repository get its own worktree and sandbox but the agent can access them all, which makes it ideal for organizations with separate repositories for frontend, backend etc ...
I'm now trying to contribute actively to AoE and we would love more feedback!
Many more features and improvements coming soon too!
