# Alook

> Connect your own agents and run them as one coordinated team.

Alook is an open-source, self-hosted platform that turns local AI agents into a collaborating team. Give agents roles, email addresses, tasks, and shared coordination so you stop routing context by hand. Sign up at alook.ai and connect your local runtime, or self-host.

Supported agent runtimes today: Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode.

## Blog posts

- [How to Run an AI Agent Team That Stays on Track](https://alook.ai/blog/run-ai-agent-team-that-stays-on-track) — Alook Team, published July 29, 2026. More agents help only when jobs stay clear, ownership stays named, and results stay easy to review. These operating rules keep a team usable day after day.
- [How to Keep Context Across Multiple Coding Agent Sessions](https://alook.ai/blog/keep-context-across-coding-agent-sessions) — Alook Team, published July 28, 2026. Coding agents start sessions cold. Files, git, tool memory, and handoff notes each keep different pieces. Map what continues and what still breaks.
- [Claude Code Subagents vs Independent Coding Agents](https://alook.ai/blog/claude-code-subagents-vs-independent-agents) — Alook Team, published July 23, 2026. Compare Claude Code subagents with independent coding agents: nested helpers, Agent Teams, and when a coordination layer is the better fit.
- [How to Bring Claude Code and Codex Into the Same Team](https://alook.ai/blog/claude-code-and-codex-same-team) — Alook Team, published July 22, 2026. Read when you use Claude Code and Codex together and need cross-runtime roles, handoffs, and shared visibility—not runtime-internal subagents alone.
- [When AI Agents Don't Share Context or Memory](https://alook.ai/blog/shared-context-between-agents) — Alook Team, published July 20, 2026. Why AI agents drift across tasks, what context should pass in a handoff, and how shared memory stays useful without turning into noise.
- [No-Code Automation With AI Agents: Beyond Trigger-and-Action Workflows](https://alook.ai/blog/no-code-automation-ai-agents) — Alook Team, published July 14, 2026. No-code automation handles trigger-and-action tasks across apps. When work needs judgment, AI agents add roles, handoffs, shared context, and review points.
- [Multi-Agent Collaboration Without Code](https://alook.ai/blog/multi-agent-collaboration-without-code) — Alook Team, published July 7, 2026. Multi-agent collaboration needs more than parallel runs. Shared context, specialized roles, autonomous handoffs, and communication make it work without code.
- [Human-AI Collaboration for Small Teams: From Single Agent to AI Workforce](https://alook.ai/blog/human-ai-collaboration-small-teams) — Donia, published June 30, 2026. Human-AI collaboration for small teams evolves from command-and-response tools to coordinated agents, shared context, parallel work, and human approval.
- [AI Team vs AI Tools: Stop Being the Human Copy-Paste Between Your Coding Agents](https://alook.ai/blog/ai-team-vs-ai-tools) — Donia, published June 15, 2026. AI team vs AI tools comes down to coordination. Isolated coding assistants lose context; a coordinated team shares decisions, handoffs, and workflow state.
- [7 Multi-Agent Workflow Patterns for AI Coding Agents](https://alook.ai/blog/multi-agent-workflow-patterns) — Alook Team, published June 11, 2026. Seven multi-agent workflow patterns for AI coding agents, from bug-to-PR and releases to research briefs, documentation, monitoring, and follow-up.
- [How to Build a One-Person Company With AI Agents](https://alook.ai/blog/personal-ai-company) — Alook Team, published June 10, 2026. Build a one-person company with AI agents through repeatable workflows, defined handoffs, limited access, and human approval for high-impact work.
- [How to Build an AI Agent Team: Roles, Handoffs, and Oversight](https://alook.ai/blog/ai-agent-team) — Alook Team, published June 8, 2026. Build an AI agent team around one reliable workflow with defined roles, structured handoffs, recorded decisions, failure paths, and human approval.
- [AI Orchestration: How Multiple Agents Work Together](https://alook.ai/blog/ai-agent-orchestration) — Alook Team, published June 3, 2026. AI orchestration coordinates specialized agents through roles, handoffs, retries, and shared context. It covers first workflows and build-vs-buy tradeoffs.
- [AI Agent vs Chatbot: What's the Difference?](https://alook.ai/blog/ai-agent-vs-chatbot) — Alook Team, published June 3, 2026. AI agent vs chatbot: chatbots answer prompts, while agents pursue goals with tools, state, and triggers. Compare their limits and choose the right fit.
- [How to Delegate Tasks to AI Agents](https://alook.ai/blog/how-to-delegate-tasks-to-ai-agents) — Alook Team, published June 3, 2026. Delegate tasks to AI agents with a five-step method for choosing stable work, writing instructions, supervising early runs, and setting review boundaries.
- [Open Source Alternative to Claude Code Dynamic Workflow: Email-Based Agent Coordination](https://alook.ai/blog/claude-code-dynamic-workflow-alternative) — Alook Team, published June 1, 2026. Claude Code dynamic workflows suit one-shot parallel tasks. Email-based agent coordination adds persistent context, multi-day handoffs, and team visibility.
- [Why We Built Alook](https://alook.ai/blog/why-we-built-alook) — Gus, published May 15, 2026. Why we built Alook: powerful coding agents still left one person routing context between sessions. A shared coordination layer became the missing piece.

## How Alook fits

1. Bring agents you already run (Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, …)
2. Connect your local runtime (online signup or self-host)
3. Coordinate as a team: roles, handoffs, email reachability, human review
