Agents Office v3 (Beta)

A 3D isometric office where AI agents do real work on your own Claude login.

Six departments, thirty-five agents at their desks, a task bar that routes what you type to the right agent, and a Brain at the centre that is your own folder of notes. Type a task, the office gives it to the right person, they read your notes, use the connectors you have already set up in Claude Code, do the work, and file the result back into your notes. Everything runs on your machine.

Beta. It works end to end. Expect rough edges and tell us about them in Issues.

License, in plain English: Agents Office is a Sahni.ai product. It is free for personal and internal use. You may not sell it, resell it, or build a paid product on it. You may not rename it, rebrand it, strip the Sahni.ai mark or the notices, present it as your own, or wire it into or bundle it with another product, agent system or workforce. (Formal terms: PolyForm Noncommercial 1.0.0 plus Sahni.ai's additional terms — see LICENSE.) The page carries the Sahni.ai mark at the bottom-left and a licence line along the bottom; leave them in place.

Latest updates

• The calendar (P) — 17 Sep 2026 · Everything on the day it belongs to: finished tasks, today's work, tasks you have scheduled, and every routine projected forward. Click any day to schedule a task for it, or switch on REPEAT to start a routine from that date. A rail lists the routines themselves. Month and week, dark mode too. → The calendar
• Agent Teams — 16 Sep · Press TEAM or say "as a team": the department lead splits the job across its desks, they work at the same time, leave notes for each other, and the lead writes the final. → Agent Teams
• Claude in Chrome — 16 Sep · The agents can use your own browser for any site you are signed in to, under the same read-freely, act-only-when-asked rule. → Claude in Chrome
• Models by name, effort, and the usage gauge — 9 Sep · Sonnet, Opus or Fable per task, routine, agent or office; an effort menu; your plan's session and week in the top bar. → Which model
• Routines — 9 Sep · Tasks on the office's own clock, with "needs my OK" before anything goes out. → Routines
• The lead interviews you, and the agents learn from corrections — 7 Sep · Say "set up" to a department lead; every revise: … becomes a standing rule. → Teach the agents

What you need

• macOS or Linux (Windows: works with npm commands directly, ./setup is Bash only)
• Node.js 20+ — https://nodejs.org
• git
• Claude Code, logged in with your Claude account, or an ANTHROPIC_API_KEY

Install

git clone https://github.com/ajsahni/agents-office.git
cd agents-office
./setup          # checks Node, git and Claude; installs; builds; boots once
npm start        # → http://localhost:4520

Without ./setup: npm install && node build.mjs && npm start.

First five minutes

1. Open http://localhost:4520. The panel on the right says LIVE · CLAUDE when the server is connected. Double-clicking dist/command-centre-v2.html opens the same office on its own, without a server, in demo mode.
2. In the bar at the top of the panel, pick a department, type a task in plain words, press Add. Claude picks the agent and names them; the task appears in the feed; the agent picks it up, works, and the deliverable lands in that agent's chat and in your brain folder as a note.
3. Click any agent to talk to them. They answer in their role, grounded in your notes. Say revise: make it shorter and they rework their last deliverable.
4. Press G, or click the Brain, to open your notes as a graph. Hover a note to see its links, click it to read where it sits and who read or wrote it.
5. The top bar shows the connectors your Claude Code is connected to. When an agent uses one, its logo pulses and the wire into that department lights up.
6. The first deliverables will be competent and generic: the agents know the sample studio and one sentence about their own job. Point the brain at your notes, then teach them how you work (below). That is where the office becomes yours.

Connectors

The bar under CONNECTED TO is real: it is the list from claude mcp list on this machine, which is the same list the agents get as tools. Gmail, Slack, Notion, Google Drive, Canva, whatever you have connected in claude.ai or added with claude mcp add. A server that needs authentication shows grey with the reason on hover, and is not wired to any pod until it works. Nothing connected yet? The bar says so.

Agents can call those servers while they work, plus web search. They never get Bash, file tools or sub-agents. Their standing rule: read freely; send, post, pay, delete or change anything outside this machine only when your task explicitly asks for that exact action. A finished deliverable says which tools it used, and the note in your brain records them.

Decide what the agents may touch in office.config.json:

"mcp": { "allow": [], "deny": ["Stripe"], "departments": { "Slack": ["emails", "ops"] } },
"tools": { "web": true, "browser": true },
"teams": { "enabled": true, "max": 4 }

allow empty means every connected server. deny keeps a server in the bar but out of the agents' hands ("deny": ["Chrome"] works the same for the browser). departments says which pods a server is wired to (known brands have a default; anything else feeds every pod). Set tools.web to false to keep the agents off the web, tools.browser to false to keep them out of your Chrome (see Claude in Chrome). Tool use needs the Claude Code login; on an ANTHROPIC_API_KEY the agents write from your notes only.

Make the agents yours

The 35 agents are in office.agents.json: an id, a department, a name, a role, what they do, and the connectors they usually use. Change the name, the role, what they do and their tools. Departments, leads and seats are fixed: six pods, 35 desks, that is the office. A new kind of agent is a renamed seat in the right department.

The easy way is to let Claude do it. Open Claude Code in this folder and say what you want:

claude
> Rename the Newsletter agent to PODCAST NOTES. It turns each episode into show notes and a LinkedIn post, and uses Google Drive.
> Make the Sales department about wholesale accounts, not inbound leads. Rewrite what each agent does.
> Tell every Finance agent to use Xero and nothing else.

Claude reads CLAUDE.md, writes your changes to office.agents.local.json (yours, ignored by git, so git pull never overwrites it), and validates them with npm run check. Restart the office and the desks carry the new names. Edit the file by hand if you prefer; the shape is:

{ "agents": [
  { "id": "newt", "name": "PODCAST NOTES", "role": "Podcast Notes Agent",
    "does": "Turns each episode into show notes and a LinkedIn post.", "tools": ["google drive"],
    "brief": "Show notes are five bullets and a pull quote. The LinkedIn post opens with the quote, never with the episode title." }
] }

Edits to id, department or lead are ignored, and the server says so at start. The same file can also sit in your brain as <brain>/Agents Office/agents.json; the office reads the shipped roster, then the brain's, then the local file.

Teach the agents how you work

Renaming an agent says what it does. It does not say how. Out of the box every agent knows its one-line job, your notes, and a rule to hand over a finished deliverable, so the first results are competent and generic. Two ways to fix that, both read before every task:

• A brief is a few standing sentences on one agent: tone, red lines, who to escalate to. It is the brief field above.
• A skill is a folder in your brain, <brain>/Agents Office/skills/<name>/, with a SKILL.md (when it applies, the steps, the shape, the rules) and the template or example beside it. Bind it to an agent or a department in its front matter. Same shape as a Claude Code skill.

# Writing a proposal
Use this for any request that ends in a document a client says yes or no to.
1. Prices come from `10-Business/offer-ladder.md`. Never invent one.
2. Follow `template.md` beside this file, section for section.
- Three options, always. Recommend the middle one.

Three example skills ship in skills/ for the sample studio. The fastest way to write yours is to hand Claude Code what you already have, the SOP, the email you keep copying, the last report you were happy with, and ask for a skill:

claude
> Here is the proposal I sent Harbourside. Turn it into a skill for the Proposals agent: the
  shape as a template, the rules I follow, and keep this one as the example.

Skills and briefs take effect on the next task, no restart. npm run check validates them and http://localhost:4520/api/skills shows who has what. The full guide, including what the agent sees and how to write a good one, is SKILLS.md.

Or let the lead interview you

Click a department lead and say set up. The lead asks five questions, one at a time: what the department does here, the job you do most, what a good result looks like, what must never happen, which tools and people are in
