Cotal

What the company does

Cotal connects agents from different providers, and the people working with them, in one shared space.

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.

What sets it 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.

Primary customers

Developers, teams and companies.

Products and 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.

Relevant 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.
