bb is an agentic IDE that can control, customize, and automate itself, exposing desktop, web, CLI, and HTTP API surfaces for driving agent-driven development work in steerable threads. It is highly extensible via plugins, with many of its own features (GitHub integration, memory, scheduled jobs) built as plugins.
Use cases
- run coding agents in steerable threads from a desktop IDE
- automate development workflows with scheduled agent jobs
- build custom plugins to extend an agent IDE
- dispatch and hand off coding tasks between agents
- drive an agentic IDE from the CLI or HTTP API
- triage bugs and refactor code with AI agents
When to choose
- you want an IDE where AI agents do the coding and you steer them
- you need a customizable, plugin-driven agent workbench
- you want to automate recurring dev tasks with agents
When to avoid
- you need a traditional IDE without AI agent dependence
- you require native Windows support (only WSL2 works)
- you need a fully stable, mature tool - workflows are still evolving
