Super-agent
DeepSeek's Harness team released an open-source research prototype of Super-agent, a coding agent that watches developer group chats and proposes fixes without being prompted.
Most coding agents work inside one session and wait for the next instruction. Super-agent uses a router and worker design in which a router collects input from chat and email, and workers act on it like a virtual team. DeepSeek says a person can supervise only three to five agent sessions at once, so the system handles conversation management and context sync while humans set goals and review results. The public version works with a single GitHub repository and can also take input through Feishu.

Figures
| Measure | Value | Measured by |
|---|---|---|
| Task completion time | under 16 minutes vs over 29 minutes Super-agent versus the traditional approach, as relayed by Arageek via NewsCord aggregation; not verified on a primary page | company |
| Human-supervised agent sessions | 3 to 5 Limit DeepSeek cites for one person | company |
DeepSeek calls it a research prototype and not a production product. The code is open source on GitHub, but it is an agent framework and not a model, so the access label is approximate.
