Omnigent: Open-Source Meta-Harness for AI Agents | Matei Zaharia
Databricks CTO launches Omnigen, an open-source meta-harness orchestrating multiple AI agents with shared governance.
“we built this layer that kind of wraps existing agents and lets you easily work with many of them, whether you're composing many agents to solve the same task, or you're trying to control them more centrally”— Matei Zaharia
Matei Zaharia, Databricks CTO and Apache Spark creator, unveiled Omnigen, a meta-harness that acts as an orchestration and control layer across multiple AI coding agents, providing shared governance, human collaboration, and composability. The project originated from Databricks engineers struggling to manage fleets of coding agents without a unified control plane. This matters because it signals the agentic stack is maturing past individual agents toward multi-agent governance infrastructure, with a credible open-source founder behind it.
