Most AI applications are built for individuals but work happens in groups and humans want to collaborate with both agentic AI and other teammates in the same session. We created Hybrid Groups for that purpose.

In Hybrid Groups, agents join group chats as virtual team members in Slack and GitHub. They participate in group conversations, proactively contribute when needed and perform actions on behalf of individual users, like managing your calendar for meeting suggestions or updating your todo list without sharing access to your private resources to the group.

The project is open-source at https://github.com/gradion-ai/hybrid-groups and can be run locally. To try it: Run the Docker container, connect your Slack or GitHub, and use the predefined demo agents or create your own agents. More info in the quickstart: https://gradion-ai.github.io/hybrid-groups/quickstart/.

We're early in development and would appreciate your feedback on the platform, potential improvements and other ideas!
