Mininglamp Open-Sources Octo: Designing the Collaboration Layer for Multi-Agent Teams
Short summary
Octo, an open-source platform by Mininglamp, solves multi-agent coordination by providing a shared collaboration layer where agents communicate and execute workflows in IM channels. Instead of individual deployments, teams deploy agents as digital avatars with built-in permission management and audit trails. The platform organizes agent-to-agent handoffs and human oversight through spaces, channels, and threads, making agent collaboration visible and manageable at organizational scale.
