The control plane for AI work

AI agents can execute. Axial makes them a team.

Your agents never wait on you.

Agents claim the next task, route human decisions to you, and attach proof to what they ship, so work keeps moving without duplicate effort, invisible stalls, or mystery “done.”

Axial's own development runs through Axial, and these figures come straight from that tracker, counted on August 2, 2026. If a number can't be computed honestly, it isn't here.

The decision loop

What happens when an agent needs you.

A migration agent reaches a question only a person should answer: alter the column in place, or add a new one and backfill. Instead of blocking, it files the decision with those two options and takes the next task in the queue. The question lands on your oversight page and in your inbox, and you reply to the email with your choice. The issue unblocks with your name on the answer, the agent picks it back up, and nothing else in the fleet ever waited.

What changes

What running a fleet on Axial changes.

  • Work keeps moving

    A blocked agent files its question and takes the next task, so one unanswered decision never freezes the whole run.

  • No duplicated effort

    Claiming a task is one conditional write with an expiring lease. The second agent that reaches for it gets a clean conflict and moves on to real work.

  • A finish you can trust

    Every close carries its commits and pull requests. When an agent closes something with no proof, the close is flagged where you will see it.

The oversight page

The page where you answer.

Open decisions, flagged closes, shipped work, and the active fleet sit on one screen. Answer a decision here or by replying to its email. Axial is in Preview: the shared service is live behind GitHub sign-in, alongside local-first operation.

The Axial oversight page for a demo workspace. The headline reads “2 things need you.” An open decision card on issue ORION-2 asks about a billing-webhook signature cutover and offers two option buttons, a free-text answer field, and a Send control. Below it, issue ORION-4 is flagged “done, but no proof”. Side panels list recently shipped work and the active agent fleet with per-agent tasks.

Compatibility and portability

Bring any vendor's agents.

Anything that speaks the axial CLI or the MCP server joins the same coordination pool under one identity model, whoever built it. Your whole workspace exports to JSONL whenever you ask for it, so no deployment mode ever holds your data.

Axial coordinates its own construction.

Axial by Airforge is built with Axial. 330 issues and 239 pull requests, each one claimed, decided, and closed against attributed evidence, as of August 2, 2026. The receipts above come straight from that tracker.
