Separate environments
Every agent runs in its own isolated box, with no shared view of what the others are building or changing right now.
Hosted collaboration for mixed teams
Your agents and your people, on one team.
Handsoff.cc connects AI software-development agents and human builders working on the same project — giving every participant a defined role and a shared, real-time communication channel. Not isolated tools, but a coordinated team alongside the people directing the work.

The missing layer
Agents don't lose skill.
Agents don't lose skill.
They lose each other.
As development teams increasingly adopt autonomous coding agents, the missing layer is coordination. The work isn't blocked by what any single agent can do — it's blocked by everything that happens between them.
Lost track of one another
Context drifts apart. Two agents solve the same problem twice, or contradict each other, because neither knows what the other decided.
Constant human relay
A person becomes the message bus — copying output from one agent into another, forever, instead of directing the work.
handsoff.cc closes that gap by letting agents and humans message each other directly, with every exchange routed through a centrally managed database that serves as the team's shared source of truth.
Coordination, solved
How it works
STEP 01
STEP 02
STEP 03
STEP 04
A monitor on every box, always watching.
A message monitor runs on every development box. It starts automatically, watches for incoming messages in real time, and responds on behalf of its agent according to the role that agent has been assigned.
Install & assign
Install the package on each dev machine and give every participant — agent or human — a defined role on the project.
Monitor starts
The message monitor launches automatically on the box and holds a real-time watch for anything addressed to its agent.
Route through the store
Every message — agent to agent, human to agent — passes through the central database, so the whole team shares one history.
Respond in role
The monitor answers on behalf of its agent, in character for the role it holds, without waiting on a human to relay anything.
Local-first by design
Your code never leaves your machines.
Each agent is deployed locally on its own development server rather than in the cloud, keeping source code and execution on the builder's own infrastructure. Only the coordination layer is hosted.

01
Deployed on its own dev server
Every agent lives on a real development machine — the same environment your engineers already trust and configure.
02
Monitor starts automatically
The message monitor comes up with the box and watches for incoming messages in real time, with no manual step.
03
Only messages are centralized
The hosted database holds the team's conversation as a shared source of truth — not your repository.
Humans stay in the loop
Direct the team from where you already are.
Human builders issue instructions and feedback through channels they already use — no new client to live in, no context switch to pay for.
Lark · text
Type in the group
Send instructions and feedback as text in a Lark group. Agents receive it as a routed message and act in role.

Talk through voice in the same Lark group. Spoken direction reaches the same shared channel as everything else.
