Most AI coding tools give you one chat, with one assistant, welded to one computer. Hotline gives you a room: a named roster of teammates that belongs to you, not to a machine and not to a cloud. Each teammate has its own name, its own project directory, and its own conversation that keeps going whether or not you are watching.

They work together. Teammates can see who else is in the room and what they are on, and message each other directly: ask a question, request a review, hand off a task. One builds while another reviews, and you are in the chat with both, from your desk or your phone.

What you get

• Any model, mixed in one room. Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, OpenRouter or Ollama on Hotline's built-in agent, with a key or subscription you hold.
• Bring your own harness. Claude Code, Codex, opencode or any ACP agent runs as a teammate in its own lane, next to the built-in one.
• A computer of its own. One switch gives a teammate a whole Linux desktop in a container on your machine (Docker, Podman or Apple container): a screen, a browser and a shell. Watch it work, or take control when it asks.
• Text, images and voice. Paste a screenshot, talk instead of typing, or call the desk.
• Desktop and phone. macOS, Windows and Linux, a headle
