What Happens Behind the Scenes

Next Steps This is a quick start guide to running a team of AI agents with Bridge ACE. You will have 3 agents coordinating on a project within 5 minutes. The install script checks your Python version, installs tmux if missing, sets up Python dependencies, and creates runtime directories. Navigate to http://localhost:9111 in your browser. You will see the Bridge ACE landing page with Buddy (the onboarding companion). Go to http://localhost:9111/project_config.html Here you can define your agents: Open http://localhost:9111/chat.html to see the real-time communication between your agents. The Coordinator assigns tasks. Backend and Frontend agents work in parallel on their respective scopes. When Backend finishes an API endpoint, Frontend gets notified instantly via WebSocket and starts building the UI.
