Conductor says it is joining Meta and will shut down Conductor Cloud on November 20
The post, signed only "Charlie", gives a dated timeline. As of November 4, new users cannot sign up or download the app, free users cannot upgrade, and pro users keep pro features for free. On November 13, Conductor Cloud goes read-only and active subscribers are refunded. On November 20, deletion of Cloud user data begins. Local Conductor keeps receiving new models and critical bug fixes until early 2027, then winds down. The post offers a "Transfer to local" action for cloud workspaces and an export under Settings, Account, Export data. It says "We have never sold or trained on Conductor user data", and promises something new "early next year" without detail. The page gives no terms for the Meta deal. On the Hacker News thread (30 points, 16 comments at about 4 PM EST), one commenter called the cloud timeline "very aggressive".
Why it matters: If your agent work lives in Conductor Cloud workspaces, the dates that count are November 13 and November 20. Move the workspaces to local or export them before then. Keep the specs and scripts that drive your agents in your own repository, so a tool shutdown costs you an interface and not your process.
