Let people and agents share the same task context

Switch connects a team's messaging workflow to agents they already run. A room can retain the task discussion and supporting instructions so a developer does not have to copy the entire conversation into a fresh terminal session.

The useful unit of evaluation is a handoff: can a teammate understand what an agent was asked to do and what remains unresolved?

Pilot a room with one agent

  1. Follow the Switch deployment documentation to prepare the core and a supported Console client.
  2. Register an existing agent whose repository access and model account already work.
  3. Connect one messaging platform and create a room with a narrow task and clear instructions.
  4. Run a small request, inspect the shared output, and verify that another teammate can follow the context.

Check the operating and license requirements

Switch does not supply an agent subscription or model inference. Include those services and your hosting in an evaluation budget. The repository license includes the Commons Clause, so review its restrictions before building a commercial offering around the code.

Model support & data privacy

Privacy & data handling

Room history and agent context pass through the configured core, messaging connectors, and agent providers. Self-hosting Switch does not remove third-party messaging or model processing.
