UPDATED MARCH 2026
Built in Public
We build in the open. Here's where we are and where we're going. Priorities shift based on what we hear from users.

What's built today
Rooben ships with a complete spec-driven orchestration engine. Everything below is live in v0.1.0.
Orchestration
- ✓Spec-as-contract — validated YAML/JSON specs reviewed before execution
- ✓LLM-based planning — automatic decomposition into DAGs of parallel tasks
- ✓Multi-agent execution — fan-out/fan-in with concurrency, retries, circuit breakers
- ✓Checkpoint and resume — periodic state snapshots for crash recovery
- ✓Replanning — re-decomposes remaining work when tasks fail
- ✓Deadlock detection — cancels blocked tasks instead of hanging
Verification
- ✓Chained verifier — multiple strategies in sequence (test runner + LLM judge)
- ✓Test runner — executes pytest against skeleton and generated tests
- ✓LLM judge — Claude/GPT evaluates output against acceptance criteria
- ✓Feedback loops — failed verification produces specific feedback for retries
Agents & Providers
- ✓Four agent transports — LLM, MCP, HTTP, Subprocess
- ✓Four LLM providers — Anthropic, OpenAI, AWS Bedrock, Ollama
- ✓MCP toolkit registry — 10 built-in toolkits with auto-detection by domain
Trust & Safety
- ✓Per-workflow budget enforcement — hard limits on tokens, USD, wall-time, concurrency
- ✓Cost tracking — per-call, per-task, per-agent, per-workflow attribution
- ✓Rate limiting — token-bucket limiter per agent
- ✓Credential sanitization — automatic redaction of keys and secrets
Extensions
- ✓Plugin system — pip-installable via Python entry points
- ✓17 bundled extensions — 11 templates, 3 integrations, 3 agents
- ✓AI-assisted builder — create new integrations through conversation
- ✓Extension manifest — rooben-extension.yaml for integrations, templates, agents
Dashboard
- ✓Web UI — React + FastAPI with live DAG monitoring and verification display
- ✓Scheduling — cron-based recurring workflows with lifecycle management
- ✓Community browsing — discover and install extensions from the hub
- ✓Setup wizard — guided first-run with API key configuration
Developer Experience
- ✓Interactive refinement — rooben refine interviews you and builds a spec
- ✓Quick start — rooben go "..." generates and runs from a single sentence
- ✓SDK — six protocols for building on top of Rooben
- ✓Cross-run learning — agent insights stored and injected into future prompts
OSS ROADMAP
What's next
Open source. Everyone gets this.
Next
Q2 2026- ○PyPI release — pip install rooben from public registry
- ○Public API stabilization — versioned SDK with typed exports

- ○Expanded spec templates — professional and builder examples
Later
Q3–Q4 2026- ○A2A protocol — distributed multi-instance agent networks
- ○Additional LLM providers — Google Gemini, Mistral, and more
- ○Template variables and composition — parameterized specs with --var flags
- ○Rich media output — syntax highlighting, image previews, interactive rendering
- ○Workflow chaining — output of one workflow feeds into another
Future
2027+- ○Collaborative refinement — multiple users authoring a spec together
- ○MCP marketplace — discover and install MCP servers from community
- ○gRPC A2A transport — high-performance inter-agent communication
- ○Streaming output — real-time partial results during long workflows
PRO ROADMAP
The hosted platform
Everything in OSS, plus scale, collaboration, and operational infrastructure for teams and enterprises.
Launch & Waitlist (Month 1)
Q2 2026- ▶Brand identity and waitlist activation
- ▶Content engine — blog, social, dev community seeding
- ▶Spec Audit for enterprises — upload any prompt and get a structured spec back
- ▶Hosted dashboard — run workflows from the browser, no CLI required
- ▶Cross-run learning — agent insights stored and applied to future workflows
Developer Preview & Marketplace (Months 2–3)
Q3 2026- ○Curated spec library — 50 pre-built, tested specs for common workflows
- ○PyPI publish — pip install rooben from public registry
- ○Product Hunt + Hacker News launch
- ○PostgreSQL state backend — persistent workflow state for production use
- ○PDF/DOCX export and webhook delivery — ship results to your tools
Community & Teams (Months 4–6)
Q4 2026- ○Community marketplace — publish, browse, fork, and rate specs
- ○Rooben for Teams — shared workspaces, usage analytics, compliance controls
- ○Model optimizer — auto-recommend cheaper models that meet quality thresholds
- ○Premium integrations — Slack, GitHub, Jira, Notion
- ○A2A agent networking — connect Rooben instances across teams
Enterprise
2027+- ○SSO and role-based access control
- ○Audit trail for regulated industries
- ○Multi-tenancy with tenant-scoped data isolation
- ○Knowledge amplification — learnings shared across org workflows
- ○Data residency and SLA with dedicated support
CROSS-LLM PROVIDER
Every workflow uses the best model for each task
Rooben already orchestrates across providers. What's coming makes it even smarter.
Already Built
- ✓Workflows use Anthropic, OpenAI, Bedrock, and Ollama simultaneously
- ✓Per-task provider routing based on agent configuration
- ✓Cost tracking across all providers in a single workflow
Coming Soon
- ○Cross-provider skill generation — specs that leverage each model’s strengths
- ○Model arbitrage — auto-select the cheapest model that meets quality thresholds
- ○Cross-provider agent marketplace — share and discover multi-model workflows
