Why Quorum exists
Most agent tooling stops at the task. You describe something, an agent does it, the process exits. That leaves the interesting part — deciding what to do next, working out who should do it, checking whether it was done well — to the human holding the terminal.
Quorum started as a side project asking what happens if you hand that part over too. Give it a mission and a budget in one Markdown file, and it plans the work, hires the specialists it lacks, runs tasks in dependency order, has someone other than the author review the result, and keeps going — reacting to events and scheduling its own work — until the mission is verifiably done or the money runs out.
What it is not
- Not a hosted service. There is no account and no server of ours in the path. Quorum runs on your machine, in a directory you choose.
- Not a paid product. It is free to use. There is no pricing page because there is no price — the only cost is the AI provider you point it at, billed to you by them.
- Not a library. You don't write agent workflows in code against it. You describe an organization and let the runtime staff and run it.
- Not finished. It's young software under active development, provided as-is. Run it with budget caps and keep risky capabilities gated on approval.
Who publishes it
Quorum is published by Meffecta AB, a software company registered in Sweden. It is released free of charge rather than sold, and it is developed independently — no investors, no customers to answer to, and no roadmap driven by anything but what turns out to be useful.
Feature requests and bug reports genuinely shape what gets built next. The fastest way to influence it is the contact form.
Where to start
The quick start gets an organization running in about five minutes. The introduction explains the model behind it, and the FAQ answers the practical questions — cost, requirements, and how this compares to other multi-agent frameworks.
