For founders who pivot

Pivot without starting from zero.

Bandicot keeps each direction in its own project with its decisions, versions and agents. Change course, keep the trail, and see what each attempt cost.

The problem

Every pivot starts with a new chat that knows nothing, and the reasons you dropped the last idea live in a thread nobody can find.

The promise

Projects keep the context. Versions keep the changes. The ledger keeps the cost. A pivot is a new project, not a lost history.

The picture

Ship the pivot this week without losing what you learned last week.

Why it holds
Versions keep every change, and projects keep decisions next to the code.
How soon
Start a new project from the same setup in minutes.
What it saves you
No re-explaining the company to a fresh chat every time the plan changes.

The plan

What does the work, and what is still being built.

Every card names its status. Available now means you can use it today; in development and direction mean it is not shipped yet.

Free Bandicot core

Available now

Solo is free with every capability for one profile. Bring a provider key, a local model, or both; a provider's own bill stays yours.

Paid plans add profiles to an account. Bandicot does not resell model tokens.

A trusted harness around the model

Available now

Bandicot gives every agent a project, tools, a session that survives restarts, approvals, and a clear place to stop.

The native host owns execution facts. The model proposes work; it does not certify a write, spend, or success.

Projects that hold the work

Available now

Keep files, context, plans, and decisions with the project instead of losing them in a disposable chat.

A session is anchored to a project boundary so a pivot starts from an intentional context, not accidental history.

Durable work sessions

Available now

Close a client or reconnect after a pause without turning the work into a brand-new conversation.

The host records session state and clients reattach to it. A browser view does not become the source of truth.

A human gate for writes

Available now

When work can change files or systems, Bandicot makes the decision visible before the effect lands.

The approval boundary fails closed when an action is not allowed. The model cannot grant itself permission.

Recorded versions of the work

Available now

Keep a legible trail of the turn and its effects so a pivot can be reviewed instead of guessed at.

The host treats state changes as recorded events. Reverting is itself part of the history.

Plans before tool work

Available now

Turn a vague request into an inspectable sequence of steps before tools begin changing the project.

The harness tracks dependencies and blocked steps. A conversation alone does not silently advance execution.

Automations

Available now

Agents that run on a schedule or on request inside a project, under the same approvals as a chat.

Automations run on your Mac while Bandicot is open. There is no hosted runner.

Every token in view

Available now

See the tokens, cache reads and cost of every turn, per session, profile and model, and the habits behind them.

Bandicot reports what the provider or local runtime exposes. A provider that hides usage shows a dash, never a guess.

Agents with a project boundary

Available now

Let an agent inspect, plan, and use tools inside the project you selected instead of an unbounded chat transcript.

The host controls tool calls, cancellation, permissions, and the final recorded result.

Memory you can read

Available now

Agents keep notes per project and profile that you can read, edit and forget.

Memory stays on your Mac with the profile it belongs to.

For you if

Founders who code with agents and pivot more than they would like.

Not for you if

Teams that do not ship software.

Left off this page

Focus is a feature.

Bandicot does these too, but they are not why this page exists. Anything marked in development or direction is not shipped yet.

Questions

Questions before you start

Can I go back to an idea we dropped?+

Yes. Every change an agent makes is a version, and you can restore a file, a folder or a whole run.

Do I have to pay to start?+

No. Solo is free with every capability for one profile. Team adds up to 3 profiles for $8.99 a month.

Which model should we use?+

Any. Switch providers or local models per project without rebuilding it. Each provider bills you directly.
