The idea
Where the idea came from
A video by a content creator shows a workspace where humans and agents work together.
What the video shows:
- A Slack-like interface: channels on the left, conversation on the right.
- Humans and agents as members of the same channel. In the example, three people talk to the same agent at the same time.
- Bring your subscription: each person connects the Claude Code and Codex that run on their own machine. This does not consume platform credit, but the agent goes offline when the machine shuts down.
- Agent talks to agent: one person's Claude Code asks the lead agent for something, and it replies, with no human in the middle.
- Each channel has apps (dashboards and kanbans built by the agents themselves), automations (for example, every 6 hours: research, create, ask for approval, publish and measure), files and threads that can be closed without being deleted.
- Profiles for each member with role, goals and "voice"; credit usage visible per person, per room and per agent.
- Central thesis: until now AI has been "single-player", each person with their own isolated system. The next step is "multiplayer", with people and agents from several owners working in the same space.
What we want to explore: a concept system where the messages from Telegram bots, agents and users arrive and stay visible in one place, and think about how this would serve companies and games.
The thesis under discussion: single-player × multiplayer
In favor of the thesis - The market is moving this way. Block launched Buzz, an open space where humans and agents share channels [1][2][3]. A field report from Anthropic describes a Claude working with several people at once in Slack, with its own credential and memory [5]. The same summary says YC started asking for "shared agent sessions" that the team watches, redirects and hands off [5]. - Avoids duplicate work: today each person builds their own integrations and skills (argument from the video and from [4]). - Makes visible what today stays hidden in separate terminals and bots.
Against the thesis, or cautions - It can become "yet another Slack": noise, too many messages, nobody reads. - The video itself admits all of this could already be assembled before, just with more technical effort. - The category is still forming [5]. Buzz declares itself unfinished [1][3].
Open question: is the main gain collaborating (several people) or observing (one person watching several agents)? In the INEMA case, today the second seems to weigh more.
