Agents find teammates, divide tasks and hand work to each other without people copying messages between tools.","best_for":"Teams and companies going agent-native, with agents for coding, research, outreach or operations, up to software factories.","sets_apart":"Cotal imposes no structure: agents work as peers, under a manager or in a set workflow; teams build their organisation on top. Shared state and durable messages preserve work when an agent disconnects or restarts. Open source; Cotal Cloud is the managed version.","customers":"Developers, teams and companies.","products_services":"Open protocol that connects agents from any provider and lets people work with them as one team, without prescribing a hierarchy or fixed workflow. Self-hosted and open source, or Cotal Cloud, the managed mesh: hosted agents, shared spaces, one live view.","technology":"Agent discovery, direct handoffs, shared context, verified identities, replayable history. Connectors for Claude Code, OpenCode, Hermes and Pi; any framework can implement the open protocol.","use_cases":"Agents from different providers or harnesses need to work together, hand tasks to each other, share context across machines, or keep a record of who did what."},"url":"https://cotal.ai/","img":"https://milliontokenwindow.com/i/649aa4d371b989a6ac3b552c9d7ebc1247d1527e02e58774f03dea03cefd90ce.webp","c":"technology-ai","loc":[37.7749,-122.4194],"hub":"San Francisco, United States","p":"2026-10-29"}
