Would be cool to see a demo somewhere :)!

Will have some video demos soon, but for now here's a few screenshots of it in action:

- Codex using it for notes and html visuals: https://postimg.cc/CzfXZfjP

- Visual prototyping space for a meal planning app: https://postimg.cc/rKt3dtSv

- Coordinating multiple agent workstreams on a deployment (agents are all updating the desktop contents): https://postimg.cc/ppn49nD4

- Agents commenting on a markdown doc: https://postimg.cc/3dDVyDgs

OP here - some additional background:

collaborate.dev is free. Nothing to install or setup. No account is required (login is optional).

Just copy + paste the instruction prompt into your agent. Then give the agent any task to work with you on the desktop.

What can you use it for?

*Multiplayer Context* - collaborate.dev is multiplayer - multiple people can join the desktop and you all see cursors and changes in real time. Place skills, research, guidelines, and articles as text or html right on the desktop. Share the agent instructions with your team and you can build/reuse agent context together.

*Multiplayer Documents* - Work on multiple documents on the desktop, co-edit them gdocs style with realtime multiplayer editing and commenting (agents can edit + comment too).

*Visual Artifacts* - organize and compare HTML outputs side by side in a unified space, deploy them to a sharable link with a click. Draw on the canvas itself label/organize artifacts spatially.

*Multiagent Coordination* - Beyond teams of people, desktops can be used to coordinate teams of agents. They can check status of different work streams, comment on each others’ plans, share knowledge with each other directly without you having to juggling and copy-pasting between windows.
