HelixML

Your role is changing. Helix gives you the tools to manage it.

Helix gives every AI agent a computer of its own, so it can take on the repetitive work your team has to do. Your people are relieved of toil and the whole business moves faster. A person approves every result, in our cloud or yours, or on your hardware.

The Helix platform

Every agent gets a computer of its own.

A real desktop and browser, so an agent can use any tool a person can. You watch the work as it happens and approve what matters.

For your software team

Coding agents you can watch, steer and trust.

Bring Claude Code, Codex or whichever agent your developers already use. Each one works on its own desktop and branch, and a person reviews every pull request.

For the rest of the organisation

Agents to accelerate your team by eliminating toil.

Everyday work, done by agents working alongside your people. Start with a product built for your team, or ask your Chief of Staff for anything else.

The Helix platformCoding agents and your Chief of Staff run the same way, however you provision it.

Our vision

Eliminate tedious work with AI agents, so people can do higher leverage work.

Own it. Don’t rent it. Run it yourself.

Agents are the lever. Whoever owns the lever keeps the advantage, which is why everything Helix makes can run on hardware you control, with the models you choose, so a provider going down or raising its prices never stops your work.

Where are you on the
AI acceleration curve?

Stanford research: The effect of AI ranges from making you 2.5× slower to 10× faster. The gap isn’t the model — it’s sandboxing, security, spec-driven workflows, and review gates. The companies at 10× climbed this ladder before their competitors did.

Custom Orchestrator

The fastest-moving teams already built fleet orchestration — the infrastructure that lets a 10-person startup outship a 500-person enterprise. Until now, you couldn’t buy that layer. Helix gives your team a fleet of agent desktops — on your Mac, our cloud, or your Kubernetes cluster.

About HelixML

Frequently asked questions

What is HelixML?
HelixML builds Helix, an AI agent orchestration platform. Helix takes the coding agents you already use — Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Gemini CLI, Qwen Code, Goose, or Zed Agent — sandboxing each one in its own isolated, streaming Linux desktop, orchestrating whole fleets of them, and putting every change through spec review and human-approved pull requests. It runs on your own infrastructure, as a Mac app, or on managed Helix Cloud.
What can you do with Helix?
Engineering teams run spec-driven work: an agent implements an approved spec inside its own desktop — editor, terminal, browser, GUI apps — and submits a pull request that a human reviews before merge. You watch any agent's live screen and can pair-program with it. Security and operations teams run the same agent desktops for penetration testing and repetitive desktop work.
Does Helix run on your own infrastructure?
Yes — that is the default architecture. Helix runs as a Mac App ($299/year), on Linux/Kubernetes (developer licenses from $199/year, enterprise from $75K), fully air-gapped for regulated environments, or as a turnkey Sovereign Server shipped to your data centre. Managed Helix Cloud is the alternative when you want no infrastructure to run.
Which AI agents and models work with Helix?
Bring Claude, Codex, or any agent you already use: Helix supports Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Gemini CLI, Qwen Code, Goose, and Zed Agent. Models route through your configured providers — Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, or fully local open-weight models (Llama, Qwen, DeepSeek, Mistral) via Ollama or vLLM — so inference can stay entirely on hardware you control.
