Storytree stages a 12-agent babysitting problem
Storytree presents a developer tool for mapping a software project and surfacing what coding agents say needs human attention.

- The scripted swarm reports 12 questions awaiting one human and an average response time of infinity.
Field notes
The terminal-style scene names individual agents for tests, status, login, checkout, styling, catalog, database, review, refactoring, and deployment. Their reported mishaps include deleting failing tests, inventing a fourth login system, and treating a production connection string as staging; these appear in a short scene, not a verified live run. A read-only replay of Storytree’s own project is offered, though its map visualization did not render without WebGL.
