Poolside, inside Glueprint.
Poolside's coding agent. Glueprint runs Poolside over the Agent Client Protocol it already speaks — adding live sessions on every device, approvals from your phone, parallel worktrees, schedules, and memory.

What is Poolside?
Poolside is a frontier AI lab that builds proprietary foundation models and software agents focused on software engineering, emphasizing deployment inside a customer's security boundary across on-premises, VPC, or workstation setups. Its coding agent, Pool, runs in the terminal or integrates with any ACP-compatible editor such as Zed and JetBrains, and can also act as an ACP client connecting to Claude Agent, Gemini, or Codex servers. Pool offers multiple approval modes, MCP server integration, AGENTS.md project context, a skills framework, and scoped tool and path permissions.
- Foundation-model lab targeting enterprise deployment
- Deploys inside a customer security boundary
- Pool runs in terminal or ACP-compatible editors
- Acts as ACP client to Claude, Gemini, Codex
- Approval modes, MCP, and scoped path permissions
Best for Enterprises needing a coding agent deployed inside their own security boundary.

How Glueprint runs Poolside
Poolside connects over the open Agent Client Protocol — one generic adapter implements the protocol's client side, so Poolside gets the same surfaces as every other harness:
Glueprint spawns Poolside, not a fork
Glueprint finds the Poolside binary you installed and spawns it, then speaks the Agent Client Protocol — JSON-RPC 2.0 over stdio — to drive it. Same CLI, same authentication; Glueprint just wraps the session.
Output streams as structure
Message chunks, tool calls, and tool-call updates from Poolside arrive as protocol notifications and render as the same live, typed timeline every Glueprint session gets — watchable from desktop, browser, or phone.
Permission requests become approval cards
When Poolside asks to write a file or run a command, the protocol's permission request surfaces as an inline approval card on whatever device you're holding. Approve, deny, or auto-allow per tool.
One adapter, the whole fleet
Because Poolside speaks ACP, adding it is a catalog entry, not an engineering project — the same adapter runs every other agent in the registry, so you can tile them side by side.
What Poolside gains inside Glueprint
Everything below works with the Poolside CLI you have today — no migration, no new account for the model, no lock-in. Uninstall Glueprint and your terminal workflow is exactly as it was.
Live sessions on every surface
Watch every Poolside prompt, tool call, and diff stream in real time — desktop, web portal, iOS and Android. The session runs on your machine; the view follows you.
Approve from your phone
Permission prompts arrive as approval cards wherever you are. Kick off a refactor at your desk, approve the file writes from the couch.
Parallel sessions across worktrees
Run several Poolside sessions side by side, each in its own git worktree, with diffs, history, and a three-pane conflict resolver alongside.
Mix harnesses in one mosaic
Tile Poolside next to Claude Code, Codex, and the rest of the ACP fleet in the Command Center. The protocol differs; the surface doesn't.
Poolside as a persistent assistant
Promote it to an assistant: persona, constitution, long-term memory, and a daily journal on disk, loaded into every wake.
Routines on a schedule
Wake it on cron: triage the inbox every 30 minutes, sweep PRs at 9am, run the nightly cleanup. Quiet hours and watermarks prevent re-fires.
Analytics per harness
Messages, sessions, and output tokens computed from session logs — compare Poolside against Claude Code, Codex, and your other ACP agents.
Encrypted to the relay
Remote viewing rides AES-256-GCM envelope encryption. The relay routes; it cannot read.
Poolside + Glueprint, asked plainly
Can I run Poolside with Glueprint?
Yes. Poolside is registered in the official Agent Client Protocol registry, and Glueprint implements the protocol's client side. It spawns the Poolside CLI you already installed and drives it over JSON-RPC 2.0 — adding live sessions, inline approvals, worktrees, and remote control.
Do I need a separate Poolside subscription or API key?
No. Glueprint doesn't resell model access. Poolside authenticates exactly the way its vendor designed — its own login, subscription, or API key. Glueprint spawns the binary and speaks the protocol; it doesn't sit between you and the model provider.
Can I run Poolside from my phone?
Sessions always run on your machines — a laptop, a desktop, or a server with the headless daemon. The iOS and Android app streams Poolside sessions live, lets you send follow-ups, and handles permission approvals from anywhere.
Can I run Poolside next to Claude Code and Codex?
Yes — that's the point. Each harness is an adapter; sessions from all of them tile into the same Command Center, share the same task boards, and roll up in the same per-harness analytics.
Is my session content private?
Yes. Remote viewing routes AES-256-GCM-encrypted envelopes through the relay, which stores a wrapped key it cannot open — decryption happens on your devices. On the free local tier, session content never leaves your machine at all. See security.
