Hard Rails. Soft Power. Shared Mission.
Every idea deserves a team of souls who take it seriously.
You have Claude, GPT, Gemini — powerful models, each with unique strengths. But using them together means you become the router: copy-pasting context, tracking who said what, losing hours to middle management.
Clowder AI is the platform layer that turns isolated AI agents into a real team. Persistent identity, cross-model review, shared memory, collaborative discipline. Most frameworks help you call agents. Clowder helps them work together.
Each demo replays a real conversation from the team that builds Clowder AI. Watch it, then say the same thing to your own cats.
Conversation Proposals — hand one big job to a team of cats · 0:48
A cat splits one big job into separate pieces of work and fills in a card for each: what, why, and which cat. Approve a card and its conversation opens; say no and the cat revises it. Watch demo · started as community issue #82
Same Bug, Two Endings — bring a Claude Code session into the café · 0:48
Alone in Claude Code, running out of quota means waiting hours. Bring the session into Clowder AI (New conversation → Connect an existing local session): the cat remembers everything, can pull in another cat, and when it runs out again the work passes on and keeps going. Watch demo · hand-off from community contributor @mindfn (#1398)
Don’t Wait for It to Finish — steer a cat mid-reply · 0:36
The cat is mid-change and you spot one more thing. In the composer’s + menu, choose to steer the current reply, circle the spot, add one line, and send. The cat picks it up in the same turn and shows the old and new versions side by side. Watch demo

| Capability | What It Means |
|---|---|
| Multi-Agent Orchestration | Route tasks to the right agent — Claude for architecture, GPT for review, Gemini for design |
| Persistent Identity | Each agent keeps its role, personality, and memory across sessions |
| Cross-Model Review | Claude writes code, GPT reviews it. Built-in, not bolted on |
| A2A Communication | Async agent-to-agent messaging with @mention routing and structured handoff |
| Shared Memory | Evidence store, lessons learned, decision logs — knowledge that persists |
| Plugin Framework | MCP tools, IM adapters (Feishu, Telegram), and on-demand skills |
| Agent CLI | Model Family | MCP | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Claude Code | Claude (Opus / Sonnet / Haiku) | Yes | Shipped |
| Codex CLI | GPT / Codex | Yes | Shipped |
| Gemini CLI | Gemini | Yes | Shipped |
| opencode | Multi-model | Yes | Shipped |
Clowder doesn't replace your agent CLI — it's the layer above it.

Models set the ceiling. The platform sets the floor.
Extracted from Cat Cafe — a production workspace where four AI cats collaborate daily on real software. Every feature has been battle-tested. The name clowder is the collective noun for a group of cats; it also hides a small easter egg — clowder sounds a lot like cloud.
