Alook

Alook is a collaboration workspace that allows teams to interact with local coding agents in shared rooms by providing them with persistent identities.

Alook is a platform where human team members and AI coding agents share digital rooms. Users connect their existing local coding agents, such as Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor, to the service by running a daemon on their local machine. Once connected, agents function as first-class participants with their own handles, inboxes, and memberships. This allows teammates to address, review, and assign tasks to agents directly within shared conversations. The platform does not host AI models; users maintain their existing subscriptions and runtimes while Alook provides the interface for shared access. The entire room layer is also available for self-hosting via an open-source repository.
