20-person Windows pilot

BIS Mission Control

Your team's AI project manager for AI pair-programming. Install the VS Code extension, join a team room, launch live local Claude or Codex sessions, and let the Team PM keep the work visible — digests, task lanes, and Linear suggestions a human approves.

After the file downloads, do not double-click it. Open VS Code and install it from the Extensions menu.

First install

Five steps for testers

  1. Before you start (for launching agents).On your laptop, install Node.js 20+ and the Claude CLI (or Codex CLI), and sign in to it once in a terminal. You can chat in team rooms without these.
  2. Download the VSIX file.If your computer asks for an app to open the file, choose Cancel. VSIX files are installed from inside VS Code.
  3. Install from VS Code.Open VS Code, go to Extensions, choose the three-dot menu, select Install from VSIX, then pick the downloaded file.
  4. Sign in with BIS email.Use the code sent to your inbox, then create or join your team room.
  5. Launch agents from Mission Control.Claude and Codex sessions open in a live Mission Control panel — a visible terminal is the automatic fallback — and stream summarized activity to the room.

Product tour

What opens after install

01

Account

Send a BIS email code, verify it, and keep your display name attached to every room event.

02

Team room

Create a team or paste an invite. Each team gets one room and one shared project memory.

03

Team PM

Mention @pm in the room chat. The Team PM answers, posts digests, and tracks lanes, blockers, and decisions for the whole team.

04

Agents

Launch Claude or Codex locally in a live agent panel. Teammates see a read-only live card, not a noisy raw transcript.

05

Tasks

The Team PM turns agent progress into tasks, blockers, decisions, and suggested Linear updates a human approves.

06

Approvals

When an agent needs human approval, the team sees it in one place before work continues.

Pilot updates

No repeat scripts after install

Side-loaded extensions do not get native Marketplace auto-updates. This pilot build checks https://bis-mission-control-download.pages.dev/releases/latest.json from inside VS Code and shows an automatic Update prompt plus a dashboard Update button when a newer hash-verified VSIX is available.

Operator fallback script

Normal testers update from inside VS Code. The fallback script is only for first-install recovery or operator troubleshooting.
