Overview

What is Symphony?

Symphony is OpenAI's open-source agentic coding framework released in March 2026. It turns software project work into isolated, autonomous 'implementation runs' — instead of supervising an AI coding agent, you define tasks in your issue tracker and Symphony dispatches parallel agents to each one in an isolated environment. Built on Elixir/BEAM for fault tolerance and concurrent agent management. Uses a WORKFLOW.md file in your repo as the agent's instruction set.
