FAQ
Questions people ask about Type.com and Conductor
Is Conductor shutting down?
Conductor is joining Meta. New sign-ups stopped on November 4, 2026. Conductor Cloud goes read-only on November 13 and shuts down on November 20, when Conductor begins deleting Cloud user data. The local Mac app keeps getting new models and critical bug fixes until early 2027.
What should I switch to from Conductor?
It depends on which part you use. If you run agents on your Mac, local Conductor keeps working until early 2027. If you rely on Conductor Cloud for agents that keep running after you close your laptop, shared chats, or the API, Type.com runs Claude and Codex agents in cloud sandboxes on your GitHub repositories, with threads your team shares and automations that start from GitHub, Slack, Linear, and schedules.
How do I export my data from Conductor Cloud?
In Conductor, right-click a cloud workspace and choose Transfer to local to move it and its chats to your Mac, or go to Settings → Account → Export data for an archive of everything. Do it before November 20, 2026, when Conductor begins deleting Cloud user data.
Can Type.com run Claude and Codex coding agents on my repositories?
Yes. Type.com runs Claude and Codex as managed agents in an isolated Linux sandbox with Git and the GitHub CLI. Connect GitHub and choose the repositories the Type.com GitHub App can reach, and agents can read code, create branches and commits, and open pull requests authored by your own GitHub account.
Can I use my existing Claude or ChatGPT subscription?
Yes. Connect it in Settings → Details, and eligible requests run through your subscription instead of the workspace's AI usage allowance. Conductor also lets you bring your own subscriptions and API keys.
Does Type.com run Cursor or OpenCode agents?
No. Type.com runs Claude and Codex. Conductor also supports Cursor and OpenCode.
Is Type.com a local app like Conductor?
No. Type.com runs agents in the cloud, so they keep working when your laptop is closed, and you reach them from the browser, the desktop app, Slack, or the CLI. If you want agents working in git worktrees on your own Mac, local Conductor keeps working until early 2027.
