VS Code Extension · Beta · Open Source
Developers using AI coding agents complete 126% more projects per week. But when you launch 5 parallel agents, you have zero visibility into what they're doing. Pulse gives you a real-time dashboard inside VS Code — every agent, every task, every second.
THE PROBLEM
The AI agent observability market is projected to reach $2.05 billion by 2030, growing at 30.1% CAGR. Why? Because the industry has a visibility crisis.
You tell an agent to "refactor the auth module" and walk away. 10 minutes later, it's rewriting files you didn't want touched.
Agent A is building a login form. Agent B is also building a login form — because neither knows the other exists.
An agent hits an error 2 minutes in and spins in a retry loop for 15 minutes. You don't find out until you check.
"What did that agent do yesterday?" You check the terminal, but the session is gone. No timeline, no audit trail.
FEATURES
See every active agent in a single panel. What it's working on, how long it's been running, which files it's touching. Updated every second.
Running 5 agents in parallel? Pulse shows all of them side by side. Instantly spot which are progressing, stuck, or duplicating work.
Every agent session is logged with a visual timeline. Scroll back through previous sessions to see what happened and when.
Pulse detects when an agent is stuck in a retry loop, hitting repeated errors, or consuming tokens without progress.
Complex tasks are broken into sub-steps. See exactly which step each agent is on, what's complete, and what's remaining.
Install from VS Code Marketplace. Open the Pulse panel. That's it. No API keys, no config files, no server setup.
