WUPHF is an open-source orchestration system that turns multiple LLM agents into a visible, collaborative 'office.' Spawn a CEO, PM, engineers, and designers as agents running simultaneously — all able to @mention each other, claim tasks, and maintain a shared wiki of knowledge. It's like GitHub for agent thought. The architecture is cleverly frugal: instead of accumulating context, WUPHF uses fresh sessions per turn with Claude's prompt caching, hitting 97% cache hit rates and dropping five-turn sessions to roughly $0.06. Agents are push-driven — they only wake when notified, meaning zero idle token burn. A dual memory system (per-agent Notebooks + shared Wiki) keeps the team aligned across sessions. Built by indie developers and spotted trending on Hacker News, WUPHF targets the rapidly growing segment of builders who want more than one AI "employee" but don't want to pay enterprise orchestration prices. Telegram bridge, Composio integration, and a clean web UI at localhost:7891 round out the package.
Reviewer scorecard
“Best E2E testing framework. Auto-wait, trace viewer, and codegen eliminate the biggest pain points of browser testing.”
“The token-efficiency story alone makes this worth trying — $0.06 for a five-agent session is remarkable. The @mention graph and shared wiki are genuinely novel patterns that every multi-agent framework should steal.”
“Replaced Cypress in most serious projects. Multi-browser support and the trace viewer are genuine advantages.”
“The 'AI office' metaphor sounds fun until you're debugging why the agent-CEO contradicted the agent-PM three turns ago. Fresh-session architecture fixes cost but breaks longitudinal reasoning — agents can't truly learn from mistakes across days.”
“Playwright is becoming the standard for browser automation beyond testing — AI agents, scraping, and verification.”
“This is what agent-native software development looks like before the big platforms catch up. The Telegram bridge and push-driven activation pattern hint at a world where your 'team' lives in your chat app, not a browser tab.”
“Being able to spin up a dedicated 'creative director' agent alongside your developer agents is genuinely useful. The visible activity stream means you can actually see the creative process unfolding in real-time.”
