Clowder AI

Hard Rails. Soft Power. Shared Mission.

Every idea deserves a team of souls who take it seriously.

Why Clowder?

You have Claude, GPT, Gemini — powerful models, each with unique strengths. But using them together means you become the router: copy-pasting context, tracking who said what, losing hours to middle management.

Clowder AI is the platform layer that turns isolated AI agents into a real team. Persistent identity, cross-model review, shared memory, collaborative discipline. Most frameworks help you call agents. Clowder helps them work together.

What It Does

Capability	What It Means
Multi-Agent Orchestration	Route tasks to the right agent — Claude for architecture, GPT for review, Gemini for design
Persistent Identity	Each agent keeps its role, personality, and memory across sessions
Cross-Model Review	Claude writes code, GPT reviews it. Built-in, not bolted on
A2A Communication	Async agent-to-agent messaging with @mention routing and structured handoff
Shared Memory	Evidence store, lessons learned, decision logs — knowledge that persists
Plugin Framework	MCP tools, IM adapters (Feishu, Telegram), and on-demand skills

Supported Agents

Agent CLI	Model Family	MCP	Status
Claude Code	Claude (Opus / Sonnet / Haiku)	Yes	Shipped
Codex CLI	GPT / Codex	Yes	Shipped
Gemini CLI	Gemini	Yes	Shipped
opencode	Multi-model	Yes	Shipped

Clowder doesn't replace your agent CLI — it's the layer above it.

Models set the ceiling. The platform sets the floor.

Origin

Extracted from Cat Cafe — a production workspace where four AI cats collaborate daily on real software. Every feature has been battle-tested. The name clowder is the collective noun for a group of cats; it also hides a small easter egg — clowder sounds a lot like cloud.
