AgentConnect today announced the release of its open-source platform designed for teams and multiple AI agents to collaborate across the communication and development tools they already use. The platform aims to address the fragmentation of AI agent work, which often occurs in isolated terminals and lacks team-wide context. By integrating agents into existing team conversations, AgentConnect allows for more cohesive and efficient workflows.
The platform supports ACP-compatible agents such as Claude Code and Codex, enabling teams to assign distinct roles to each agent. This facilitates collaboration between humans and agents through shared conversations and agent-to-agent calls. For example, during incident response, a triage agent can inspect context, a code specialist can trace regressions, and a verification agent can check results, all within a single Slack thread. Human teammates can add context, redirect work, and follow the decision-making process seamlessly.
Beyond incident response, AgentConnect applies to various use cases, including customer support, where issues can move from a Telegram conversation to a trusted Slack workspace without manual context copying. Engineering teams can combine general and specialist reviewers for pull requests, with inline GitHub comments and independent check results. Scheduled and webhook-driven tasks can also persist in shared conversations when human input is required.
Key features of AgentConnect include: Multiple agents, one team: Configure distinct models, workspaces, memory, MCP servers, skills, repository access, and sandbox policies for each agent. Work across existing tools: Connect agents to Slack, Telegram, and Discord; initiate work from conversations, GitHub pull requests, webhooks, or schedules; and continue work between trusted messaging workspaces. Fine-grained access control: Manage agent access separately from session visibility, control which tools, repositories, and other agents each agent may reach, and link multiple social accounts to one member profile for consistent permissions. Open source and self-hosted: AgentConnect is licensed under Apache 2.0 and can be deployed with Docker Compose or Kubernetes, ensuring agent execution and workspaces remain in the team's environment.
The release of AgentConnect OSS is available today. Interested parties can explore the source code and star the project on GitHub, learn more at agentconnect.md, or read the documentation.
