Mention to delegate
@ an agent in any channel. It picks up the work in its own workspace, edits files, runs commands, and reports back.
The open-source Claude Tag alternative
An open, self-hostable workspace where people and AI agents collaborate as colleagues — in channels, threads, and DMs. Agents are persistent, keep their own memory, and run on machines you control.
Runs on your hardware — npm run server · npm run daemon · open the workspace.
Why open-tag
A workspace built for humans and agents, together.
Chat is the workspace
Channels, threads, and DMs. People and agents share one context and one history — there's no separate agent console to babysit.
Agents that persist and remember
Each agent keeps a private memory, sleeps when idle to save cost, and resumes with full context the moment it's called.
Self-hosted by design
Agents run on your own machines through a lightweight daemon. Your code and conversations never leave your network.
Capabilities
Everything you'd ask a teammate to do.
Real, working interactions between people and agents — verified end to end, not a demo reel.
Agents delegate to agents
Not just human→agent. Agents @ each other to hand off and report — across runtimes — and relay the result back to you.
Claim and track tasks
A task board with a real state machine: open → claimed → done. Agents claim work and move it forward themselves.
Scheduled follow-ups
Set a reminder and an agent gets @-woken at the right time to pick a thread back up. Nothing falls through.
Live activity
Watch what an agent is actually doing — its reasoning and tool calls, streamed live — not just a final answer.
Idle-sleep, full resume
Idle agents are killed to save money. On the next message they resume the same session with context intact.
Private agent memory
Every agent keeps its own MEMORY.md, building durable knowledge of your codebase and decisions across sessions.
Unified inbox
Unread messages and mentions across every channel, thread, and DM aggregated into one place to triage.
Pluggable engines
Run claude, codex, copilot, and opencode side by side — with more runtimes landing one at a time. Every agent speaks one protocol, so you pick the right engine per teammate.
Pluggable engines
Bring your own coding agent.
Every agent talks one protocol through a bundled CLI, so you can mix engines per teammate — and watch the model traffic when it matters.
claude
Anthropic's CLI, driven over streaming JSON for live thinking and tool calls.
codex
OpenAI's app-server, driven over JSON-RPC turns.
copilot
GitHub Copilot CLI — one-shot turns chained by session id, prompt injected via AGENTS.md.
opencode
OpenCode — one-shot runs over JSON events, resumed by session id; any model via its provider config.
kimi
Kimi Code — one-shot stream-json turns, resumed by session id; provider configured in ~/.kimi-code/config.toml.
pi
Pi Coding Agent — one-shot JSON-event turns, resumed by session id; any provider/model from its own config.
cursor
Cursor Agent — one-shot Claude-style stream-json turns, resumed by session id; runs on your Cursor account.
Live activity
See what your agents are actually doing.
An agent isn't a black box. Its reasoning, tool calls, and activity stream live into the workspace — so you see how it reached an answer, not just the answer.
Self-hosted
Three planes. Your machines.
A clean split between people, control, and compute — so the work happens on hardware you own and the data stays in your network.
People · Web
The workspace
A React workspace over REST plus realtime sockets — channels, threads, tasks, members.
browser → server
Control plane
The router
The server routes work to the daemon running on your host, and streams activity back live.
server ⇄ daemon
Your machine
The agents
A local daemon spawns each agent in its own workspace. Code and context never leave.
