Orchestra is an open-source framework that turns your AI into a studio of agents. Bring your references and a concept; the agents research, build and refine your work with you, in the tools you already use.
Orchestra is an open-source project for designers who work across mediums. It acts as a framework for your AI compute and sets up an agent hierarchy for you, so your design workflow gets faster and more efficient, and the generated work loses its sameness.
It is shaped to conform to you with use. The more assets you add and the more agents you make, the closer it pairs with how you work. And because it is open source, you can use your own agents to redesign Orchestra or add to it.
Fork it, extend it, or point your own agents at it to redesign your orchestra.
Claude, ChatGPT or whatever you plug in follows the same hierarchy and the same rules.
Deliverables, sources, audits and agents are editable files that build up over every project.
Plug in the AI you already use and Orchestra sets up the hierarchy. The agents work in your design tools over MCP, save everything they make to a knowledge graph, and export the finished deliverables. Every agent is a markdown file you can open and change.
Every project moves through three movements with the designer in the loop, and everything you make is kept in a knowledge graph your agents can read. These are screens from the app, running a project for Orchestra’s own brand.
Compile all of your inspiration in one place. Open your reference sites in one click, paste links or drop in files, and note what you like about each. The Orchestrator interprets the collection into a research file that becomes the source of truth for your designs.
The part designers know best. Select which deliverables to make first, then work on them iteratively with your agents. Connect your favourite design tools over MCP and work in tandem: the agents build in the file while you keep your hands on it.
Periodically, audit what was generated: for usability, for compliance with your brand kit, and for the hallmarks of AI-generated work. Unslop it, one pass at a time, with you deciding which fixes go back to Create.
As you create, your work is saved and structured into a knowledge graph. Agents query the graph instead of rereading design files, which is faster and cheaper, and lets them understand your designs natively.
Orchestra is named for what it is: many players, one conductor, one score. The brand keeps to three ideas: the orchestra, the integral that signs it, and the names its agents go by.
No single player can perform a symphony. Strings, winds, brass and percussion each master their own part, a conductor holds the whole in mind, and everyone reads from the same score. What the audience hears is one piece of music.
Design work across mediums is the same. A brand kit, a deck, a website and a set of renders each need their own expertise, but they have to sound like one voice. Orchestra gives your AI that structure: specialists for every part, a conductor who talks to you, and one score every agent plays from.
One stroke, two readings. Each is a way of saying what Orchestra does: many agents, working on small parts, heard as one piece of work.
In calculus, ∫ adds up infinitely many thin slices to give one exact area. Orchestra works the same way: every Instrument builds one small piece, a palette, a type scale, a page, and the Orchestrator sums them into a single deliverable.
A violin’s f-holes are where its vibrations leave the body, every string heard through one shape. In Orchestra that opening is the Orchestrator: the one agent that talks to you, so a crowd of agents reaches you as a single voice.
Holds the whole piece in mind. It reads your research, plans the work, cues each Musician, and is the only agent that faces you.
Each Musician owns one part of the performance: the Brand Kit, the Slide Deck, the Website. It knows its deliverable and the tools it needs.
A Musician plays Instruments to make its part: Brand Spec, Logo Builder, Copywriter. Shared Instruments are tuned once and played by every Musician that needs them.
Your research, brand kit and knowledge graph: the one source every agent reads from, so the whole performance stays in key.
Orchestra is open source and in active development as a desktop app. Clone it, plug in your compute and start with your own brand.
