Hey guys, thanks for putting it here, I am Chaitanya I built Munder Difflin, I am here to answer all your questions(except nylonstrung).
For people who haven't tried it: Munder Difflin is a local multi-agent harness that wraps around your existing claude code and codex subscriptions(we literally support almost all harnesses/coding agents).
Simulations are deterministic, they do not consume tokens, infact most of the users(20K+ in a week) say that it has reduced their token consumption due to a benchmarked memory layer acting as a hive mind called mempalace.
Common use cases apart from coding: 1. Create triggers that runs an live agent with your context(Webhooks, slack, scheduled) 2. Almost any kind of automation for yourself(I make it review PRs, send cold emails with enriched context, manage discord, Send myself analytics about how app is doing on email an end to end AI video production and posting workflow in 1 prompt and then some)
I'd love to hear your feedbacks on it.
It's interesting but It was hard to tell from a quick read if this was a fun game with LLMs or a productivity tool. You could stand to make that more clear.
...I agree but I also kind of like it? More software should aim to be both useful and fun.
SO WEIRD.
My flagged comment has been unflagged, but the comment I made referring to the odd flagging is collapsed but not actually flagged either.
I think I must be in some kind of moderation hell.
EDIT: Oh - apparently someone at HN did it. But that's a shame, because there was good content in that thread. Why are you guys hiding it?
my last comment was flagged - presumably i didn't make it pedantic enough for someone, so let me try again:
why do you feel the need to pigeon-hole this work? the greatest things in life are more than one thing at once.
EDIT: stealth edits of your comments is naughty-naughty.
I don’t think GP is being unreasonable. Half of this webpage kinda sounds like parody and the other half serious. It’s valid feedback.
did i say he was being unreasonable?
i asked him why he's pigeon-holing it. and you, too? don't hackers enjoy a little bit of playful ambiguity in their lives? must it be all serious all the time?
sheesh.
Sir, this is the Internet in 2026. We don't allow playful anything unless the intent is clearly labeled and approved by your local decency csar. Please continue to refrain from double entendre, sarcasm, irony, or any other form of misunderstandable communication. Every thought must be of clear intent to the community so we may apply the correct direction of moderation to facilitate the amplification or suppression of thoughts in line with the already accepted and centrally approved community morality. Thank you for your cooperation.
UNDERSTOOD. WILL COMPLY.
Ya damn right u will ;P
porque no los dos?
“send cold emails with enriched context”
What’s the difference between cold and spam?
Nailed it. I constantly get “cold emails” that were clearly written by an AI that read 2-3 pages on my web site, my LinkedIn bio, and something else on my social media. They all follow the same formula: try to break they ice with something funny about somewhere I took a photo recently, then segue into what I do for work, then offer to help me do it better - usually by offering leads or CRM improvements.
It’s such an obviously repetitive recipe that someone must have published as an example somewhere, and now lots of people (or bots) are trying to follow it, all mining for gold that doesn’t exist.
I have no desire to get either so functionally nothing.
I often get cold emails from people interested in my very specific hobby (see website in profile). These are desired and fun.
Mind, they are not written by LLMs. I would consider that spam, outside of very limited circumstances (maybe a non-english speaker using an LLM for translation).
most cold emails end up spam, only a small fraction end up being useful. My cold email strategy respects google's limits are very personal and mostly not for selling.
Why I mentioned this here: Everyone knows about cold emailing, this is one of the ways I describe the personalisation and integration. It does, slack, discord, and practically works with anything that has an api key.
The name.
Cool project! I’m still trying to figure out if this sort of thing is the future, or something that the big AI labs will subsume into their products on their own soon. Or something that won’t be necessary in a few months when LLMs get smarter.
You won't see big AI companies allowing other providers in their native agents/harnesses. I believe this is a great opportunity for open source projects like us.
When you say no code leaves your machine, how does code get evaluated by your LLM of choice? Doesn't Claude see your code when you send a prompt just like it usually does?
Does it work with local LLMs?
Yes, it supports opencode and qwen clis, both of them can be configured to work with local LLMs.
I don't want to contact you for pricing.
Too bad, man's gotta make money to live in the capitalistic society.
That is possible while openly stating your products price.
Hey thanks, I'll update the pricing on website today.
when did you launch, how many users you have, and what's the business metrics if you don't mind sharing.
We launched 8 days ago on product hunt, been working on it for 2 months before that.
We are piloting our TEAMS plan with 5 businesses and currently have over 10,000 end users and over 30,000 agents spawned on the community version.
About to launch our PRO tier for the power users of community version. We are optimising for everything that'll increase their productivity.
Hope it helps, also I am looking for an angel investor if anyone's interested in making this big.
How is this different from a Hermes agent? Any major pro? Besides the cute graphics.
And why do you need E2E encrypted comms between your own agents? What is that protecting against? To prevent other agents snooping and maybe getting derailed? Or do you support conversations between agents of different users?
Let's say if you are away from your computer and your collegue asks you for a report that's anyways gonna take you one prompt on your agent.
Your Collegue's Munder Difflin agent can directly talk to your Munder Difflin agent through our network, you'd want your messages end to end encrypted.
What an exciting project, Chai. Congratulations on your work.
Thankyou so much <3
don't let the crankles get you down. this thing is delightful.
This is still better than what I got at some of the subreddits, I can handle it.
HEH. It still doesn't make it right.

I love it!!! But please, change that "GOD orchestrator" label, as a believer, I find it profane and offensive.
To get past the uh… man I really lack the words to describe the responses that you’ve already received, but I guess to avoid them going forward, I would re-label the point your making as being more culturally sensitive. It’s not asking people to accommodate your faith, rather your culture. It removes the convicting tone and imposition of your beliefs that others wish to derive from your request and instead communicates a desire for representation that isn’t “mandated” but appreciated.
It probably won’t prevent people from getting worked up over the request but it sheds a lot of potential hate and ammunition.
Everyone is a believer.
What exactly do you believe and why should anyone accomodate it?
Perhaps consider reframing the term from referring to the God in which you believe but as merely a reference to just the top agent in its little Munder Difflin universe?
Seems like both a mental model which more accurately represents the meaning of the "GOD orchestrator" term, and solves the meaning disconnect closest to the source that is troubling you, thus being the most effective and efficient solution for everyone?
Is that satire?
God no, I would believe...
