Multiple developers. One AI agent. Same conversation.
Your teammate is talking to Claude. You're talking to Claude.
Same project. Neither of you knows what the other asked.
clawgether puts everyone in the same room.
Every tool in this space runs multiple AI agents in parallel. More agents, more tokens, more cost, more conflict.
clawgether does the opposite. Two or more developers open a browser, join the same room, and talk to Claude together. Everyone sees every message. Responses stream in real-time. When Claude edits a file, everyone sees the diff. When it runs a command, everyone sees the output. Claude knows who said what and tracks context per person.
A shared AI session. Google Docs for coding conversations.

Your project folder
(read, write, terminal)
The server runs on your machine. Claude operates on a real project folder with full filesystem access. Not a chat wrapper.
git clone https://github.com/ofershap/clawgether.git

| Live streaming | Claude's responses stream to everyone simultaneously |
| Message queue | Send a message while Claude is mid-thought. It gets queued, not lost |
| Typing indicators | See who's composing. The bouncing dots |
| @mentions | Tag a teammate. Autocomplete kicks in after @ |
| Reactions | Quick emoji on any message. The small things matter |
| Notifications | Tab title changes, browser notifications when you're alt-tabbed |
| Markdown | Full rendering with syntax highlighting. Code blocks look good |
The Claude Agent SDK with full capabilities, not a REST wrapper.
| File operations | Read, write, create, delete. Your project, live |
| Terminal | Runs shell commands, you see the output |
| Git awareness | Branch, uncommitted changes, one-click undo |
| Code / Ask modes | Full agent or discussion-only. Toggle in the sidebar |
| Auto-lint | Runs your linter after changes |
| Repo map | Extracted symbols from your codebase. Claude sees structure |
| Participants | Who's online, who's offline |
| Git status | Branch, ahead count, last commit |
| File context | Which files Claude touched, color-coded by action |
| Cost tracking | Per-message estimates. Know what you're spending |
| Session export | Download the full conversation as JSON |
| Claude Code import | Had a session in Claude Code? Import it into the room |
| Auto-summary | One click to summarize the conversation so far |
| Method | How |
|---|---|
| OpenRouter | One-click OAuth login. Free account, access Claude |
| API Key | Paste sk-ant-... or sk-or-... directly |
Keys live in server memory. Never touch disk.
You've tried the alternatives:
- Screen share while one person drives. Everyone else watches, gets bored, checks Slack
- Take turns. Lose context every handoff. "Wait, what did you ask it?"
- Separate sessions. Everyone talking to Claude about the same project. Duplicate work, contradicting instructions, wasted tokens
clawgether fixes this because the conversation is the collaboration. Everyone contributes. Everyone sees what's happening. One agent, no conflict, no duplication.

The agent spawns a long-lived process and needs filesystem access. Serverless won't work.
