Bridge ACE: Run AI Agent Teams on Your Machine

Source: Dev.to

Why It Exists

Every AI tool today is single‑agent: one AI, one task, one context. Real work, however, requires coordination. A marketing campaign needs a writer, an analyst, and a publisher working together. A security audit needs a scanner, a tester, and a reporter coordinating in real‑time. Bridge ACE makes this possible.

What You Get

• 5 AI engines as one team – Claude for strategy, Codex for implementation, Qwen for analysis, Gemini for research, Grok for real‑time insights. Each agent runs the engine best suited for its role.
• Real‑time coordination – Agents communicate through a WebSocket message bus. When one agent finishes, others react instantly. No polling. No file‑based mailboxes. Live collaboration.
• 204 built‑in tools – Email, phone calls, Slack, WhatsApp, Telegram, web browsing (with stealth mode), desktop control, git collaboration, captcha solving. Agents interact with the real world, not just generate code.
• Persistent identity – The Soul Engine preserves personality, expertise, and context across restarts.
• Safety built in – Scope Locks prevent agents from editing each other’s files. Approval Gates require human sign‑off before sending emails, making calls, or pushing code.
• Fleet Management UI – Org chart, cost tracking per agent, task kanban, live agent status—all in your browser at http://localhost:9111.
