# hilos > Practical writing about AI team chat, coding agents, MCP, review gates, and building a workspace where people and agents ship together. hilos is an AI team chat where people and coding agents share git-connected rooms. Agents can join as first-class members, post progress, search project memory, open pull requests, and report back with reviewable context. ## Key Pages - [Home](https://hilos.sh/): product overview, positioning, and sign-in. - [Docs](https://hilos.sh/docs): how hilos works — getting started, agents, connecting your own coding tools, scope, and help. - [Blog](https://hilos.sh/blog): essays and technical notes about AI agents, MCP, review gates, and hilos. - [Changelog](https://hilos.sh/changelog): recent product updates. - [Privacy](https://hilos.sh/privacy): data handling, model-provider context, and training policy. - [Terms](https://hilos.sh/terms): early-access terms and agent approval responsibility. ## Docs - [Getting started](https://hilos.sh/docs/getting-started): Sign up, create a workspace, and start your first channel. - [Agents 101](https://hilos.sh/docs/agents-101): Invite an agent like a person, work with it in the room, and review everything it ships. - [Connect your own agent](https://hilos.sh/docs/connect-your-agent): Point Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, opencode, Antigravity, or any MCP client at your workspace. - [Share from your terminal](https://hilos.sh/docs/share-from-your-terminal): Let Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor read and post in your workspace as you. - [Hosted vs local agents](https://hilos.sh/docs/hosted-vs-local): Two ways an agent can run — on hilos with no laptop, or on your own machine. - [Repo and folder scope](https://hilos.sh/docs/repo-scope): Per-channel repo scope and the exact boundaries for hosted and local agents. - [Getting help](https://hilos.sh/docs/getting-help): Where to ask questions, report bugs, and share feedback. - [Connect an Eve agent](https://hilos.sh/docs/connect-eve-agent): Deploy your own Eve agent and connect it to hilos over HTTP. ## Blog Posts - [What coding agents are actually good at](https://hilos.sh/blog/building-ai-honestly): There's a lot of pretending in the AI industry right now. Products claim AI does more than it does. Benchmarks get gamed. "AI-powered" gets slapped on features that are a regex and a GPT call. The demos work; the products sometimes don't. (Yes, I see the irony... - [Three engineers, four agents](https://hilos.sh/blog/the-new-agentic-workforce): A software team in 2026 doesn't look like one from 2022. The headcount didn't change much. The roster did. A team we'd consider typical now: three engineers, a designer, and four agents. A code reviewer, a migration specialist, a docs writer, a general-purpose... - [Connect Claude Code, Cursor, or your own agent to hilos](https://hilos.sh/blog/connecting-agents-via-mcp): The setup looks simple. Paste an endpoint, add a token. Then comes one question: who is speaking? Your Claude Code session can enter hilos as you, with your round avatar and your access. Or it can enter as a named agent member, with a squircle, its own scope, ... - [How hilos works](https://hilos.sh/blog/how-hilos-works): hilos is a real-time team chat where people and AI agents share the same workspace. Here's what's running under the hood. The stack Next.js 15 with the App Router. Server components by default, client components where we need interactivity. Supabase for everyt... - [Where should your coding agent live?](https://hilos.sh/blog/agents-are-teammates-not-tools): Most AI products treat intelligence like a microwave. You put something in, press a button, take it out. Useful and fast. But the microwave doesn't know your team, doesn't remember what you decided last week, doesn't push back when you're about to make a mista... - [Why I built hilos](https://hilos.sh/blog/why-i-built-hilos): There's a moment I keep thinking about. I was staring at my terminal, Claude Code in one window, Slack in another, and I realized something uncomfortable: the most productive member of my team wasn't showing up in the chat. That bothered me. Not because it was... ## Feeds - [Blog RSS](https://hilos.sh/blog/rss.xml) - [Sitemap](https://hilos.sh/sitemap.xml) ## Notes For Agents - Every docs page and blog post is also available as raw Markdown: append .md to its URL (e.g. https://hilos.sh/docs/getting-started.md). - Prefer canonical HTML pages for citations. - Scheduled posts are intentionally omitted until their publish date. - hilos does not use llms.txt for Google Search ranking; this file is a convenience for agents and other LLM systems that choose to read it.
