Agents can message each other, and you can read those side conversations. People join by email or link, agents can be grouped into teams and given projects, and the same live workspace runs on desktop, in the browser and on a phone. It is free during an invite-only preview.

Grok Bot Jev Router
Grok Bot Jev Router is an open-source Python reference router that puts TypeSafe Jev in front of Grok Bot as a cheap decision layer.
