Overview

Rover is a manager on top of AI coding agents such as Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, Cursor, and Qwen. Use Rover to define multiple tasks and assign them to the coding agents you already use every day.

Rover will prepare an isolated environment for each task and ensure the agents complete it in the background. No more chat monitoring, context switching, and interruptions.

What Rover does for you

Section titled “What Rover does for you”
  • Assign a full task (like GitHub issue or Jira ticket). Rover will take care of breaking it down into steps so an AI agent can complete it autonomously
  • Develop a test suite for a class while you continue working on a different one. When you are ready, review and merge the test suite changes
  • Write the user documentation for a new feature. Get high-quality documentation following the best practices
  • Automate repetitive tasks like code refactoring or adding logging. Create a task, and let the agent do the work while you focus on more important things
  • And much more!

Why developers love Rover

Section titled “Why developers love Rover”
  • Work on multiple tasks at the same time: Rover creates isolated environments for each task, allowing AI agents to work autonomously without interference
  • Reduce context switching: each task runs in the background. The coding agents will produce a set of documents and code changes that you can review when ready
  • Meet where you are: Rover works with the coding agents you already use, no need to sign up for new services or subscriptions
  • Ensure consistency across AI coding agents and teams: get a consistent environment and workflow for all your coding agents, and share it with your team
  • It’s Open Source: Released under Apache 2.0 license. You can check the code and contribute
