Overview
Emdash and Eva are two very different products that serve distinct audiences. Emdash is an open-source desktop app designed for developers to run multiple coding agents in parallel, each isolated in its own Git worktree. It acts as a dashboard for orchestrating coding agents like Codex, Cursor, and Claude Code. Eva, on the other hand, is a voice-to-content assistant inside the Evatar platform, enabling brands to create social media posts, visuals, and videos using AI avatars. While Emdash focuses on coding efficiency and agent management, Eva automates social media content creation and engagement.
