About serena

Serena's agent-first tool design involves robust high-level abstractions, distinguishing it from approaches that rely on low-level concepts like line numbers or primitive search patterns.

Practically, this means that your agent operates faster, more efficiently and more reliably, especially in larger and more complex codebases.

While it is humans who download and set up Serena, our end users are essentially AI agents. As the ones actually applying Serena's tools, they are in the best position to evaluate Serena.

From the project's README

serena is an open-source project written primarily in Python, with 28k stars on GitHub. It was last updated in August 2026.
