{"slug": "multiplayer-ai-coding-workspace-for-teams-and-agents", "title": "Multiplayer AI coding workspace for teams and agents", "summary": "Friday launched a desktop app for Windows and Mac that lets teams run Claude Code, Codex and Cursor side by side on the same context, with teammates joining a live session by link to watch, steer or take over an agent. The app is free to start, with paid tiers at $20/month and $100/month, and runs coding agents on the user's own machine and accounts rather than uploading code. Friday also ships Plan, Manual and Auto permission modes plus a Replay feature that records who asked for what and what each agent did.", "body_md": "Run Claude Code, Codex and Cursor side by side on the same context. Teammates watch, steer and take over. Your code stays on your machine.\n\nWhy Friday\n\nWhat it does\n\nThree things, and they work together: the team in the session, every tool on the same context, and the work you have already started.\n\nWorth rate limiting the accept endpoint too, tokens are guessable if short.\n\nTeammates join by link and watch every step live. Suggest a redirect, or take control when it is your turn. One person drives each agent, so nobody steps on anybody.\n\nLearn more →\nRun Claude Code, Codex and Cursor side by side on the same task, with Friday’s own agent when you want it. Connect GitHub, Slack and Linear once; every agent can use them.\n\nLearn more →\n$ node friday-runner.mjs connect\n\n✓ Linked Maya’s MacBook Pro\n\nClaude Code · signed in\n\nCodex · signed in\n\nCursor · signed in\n\nBring a Claude Code or Codex session you already have into Friday and carry on, with the memory it built. Then invite the team into it.\n\nLearn more →\nTry it\n\nThis is the session from the top of the page, and you are the driver. Four steps, each one something the app really does.\n\nPick Claude Code or Codex above the feed to see only its work.\n\nSam spotted something. You are driving, so you choose who takes it: Claude Code or Codex.\n\nIn Manual mode an agent asks before it runs a command. The whole team sees the request.\n\nEvery run ends with what changed and whether the tests passed.\n\nYour turnPick Claude Code or Codex to follow just its work.\n\nThe cart total is wrong when two tabs check out at once. Claude, find it. Codex, write the failing test.\n\nReading the checkout path to find where two sessions can write the same cart.\n\nread · 3 files\nReading the cart tests and the session helpers to see how a checkout is set up.\n\nread · 2 files\nAdded a test: two tabs checking out at once keep one total. It fails, as it should.\n\ntest · fails as expected\nCheck the guest to member path too. I think that rotates the cart as well.\n\nGet started\n\nA desktop app for Windows and Mac. Free to start.\n\nYour machine links itself, and Friday finds the Claude Code, Codex and Cursor already on it.\n\nShare the session by link. Each teammate connects their own Claude Code, Codex or Cursor, free.\n\nFree tool\n\nControl\n\nLetting an agent loose on your repository is a question of trust. These are the answers, built in.\n\n`$ pnpm lint --fix`\nPlan reads and proposes. Manual edits files and asks before any command. Auto runs freely, for work you trust.\n\nA request to run something goes to the person driving that agent, and everyone in the session sees it.\n\nWho asked for what, what each agent did, and what each tool returned. Wind back to any moment with Replay.\n\nYour coding agents run on your computer and your own accounts. Nothing is uploaded to run them.\n\nCompare\n\n| What you need | A coding agent on its own | Friday Work | \n|---|---|---|\n| A teammate joins a running session | Read-only share links | Joins live, watches and steers | \n| Pick up a session someone started | Export it and explain again | Continue it, with its memory | \n| Codex or Cursor on the same task | Separate tools, separate context | Side by side in one session | \n| Approve what an agent runs | Per person, in their terminal | Plan, Manual or Auto, visible to the team | \n| Connect GitHub, Slack, Linear | Set up per agent and per person | Once, for every agent | \n| See what happened | A private transcript | One shared record, with Replay | \n\nComparing tools?

The Free plan includes a shared session for up to 3 people, Friday’s own model, and your own coding agents. Pro is $20 a month ($18 billed yearly) when the team needs more people, agents and the frontier models.\n\nNo. Claude Code, Codex and Cursor run on your own computer, under your own accounts. Friday shares the session around them, not your repository.\n\nClaude Code, Codex and Cursor, side by side, plus Friday’s own agent. You can continue an existing Claude Code or Codex session too.\n\nYes, and it is free on every plan. Each person connects the Claude Code, Codex or Cursor they already have, on their own account. Friday never meters them.\n\nYes. Friday is a desktop app for Windows and Mac.\n\nEach person who joins a session uses the desktop app. Invite them by link and they join in a couple of minutes.\n\nOnly to use those coding agents, and they run on your own subscription. Friday’s own agent works without one.\n\nYes. Plan, Manual or Auto for each session, and in Manual every command waits for the driver’s approval.\n\nEvery step is recorded: who asked, what each agent did, and what each tool returned. Replay winds a session back to any moment.\n\nFree for Windows and Mac.
