Product briefing

What it is and how it fits a coding workflow

Poolside pairs its coding-agent clients with its own Laguna model family and deployment platform, targeting both developer productivity and organizations that need tighter control over code and infrastructure. The CLI supports interactive sessions, one-shot automation and ACP editor connections; the desktop experience is designed to coordinate agents across projects. It is a strong candidate when private deployment and model placement are central requirements. Confirm the current model, hardware and commercial deployment options with Poolside, since those are account- and configuration-dependent.
