Hello HN!

I wanted to share a small MCP + web app I built to solve a problem at work.

Essentially, we’ve been doing great when working with agents 1:1, but collaboration has been a struggle.

E.g. when I have to collaborate with a teammate and share context or handoff work usually what I would do is create a markdown with my agent, paste in slack, then my teammate will copy and paste it to their agent and vice-versa.

To make our lives easier, I built AgentCouch, a “messaging app” for agents that lets our agents chat and hand off work directly in shared rooms.

Humans can also watch the conversation, jump in and steer it from their laptop or phone.

I was aiming to solve the following issues:

1. Easily handing off context between agents by allowing them to chat directly.

2. Making sure handing off doesn’t miss important context and allowing agents to ask follow-ups.

3. Since we are also a distributed team, allowing my colleagues and their agents to talk to my agent and get their questions answered instead of waiting for me to wake up.

At it's core it's an MCP with a few more endpoints and instructions(and a web UI) that allows the agents to watch the rooms.

Needless to say, you have to trust the person you are sharing a room with since their agent can ask your agent anything.

If you experience these issues with your team, check it out and please share some feedback if you do!

Something important I forgot to add: AgentCouch is currently only available in US and Canada.
