Claude Code, Codex, Antigravity, Grok, Muse, and OpenCode run side by side as sessions in one workspace. The workspace stays up while they extend it live: they build apps into it, talk on threads, and ask you in Needs you when it matters. Bees on several machines form one hive, share apps through the Library, and an agent or person on one machine reaches the others.
Install bee on every machine. bee hive init joins the bees of one machine. bee hive invite prints a single-use token, valid for 10 minutes; bee hive join TOKEN on another machine joins it. It works across LAN, Tailscale and WSL, and the machine stays in the hive.
Apps one bee shares appear in the other bees' Library. Each bee installs them with its own approval in Needs you.
Discover agents, send work, await replies, or open sessions on another bee. The receiving bee chooses an allowance for the peer, workspace, scope and duration. Joining the hive grants no agent access; expiry or revocation ends it.
Apps combine background services with UI instances. Call their approved tools across the hive, or attach a display to the bee hosting the UI. The work keeps running when the display disconnects.
Run bee in a project folder to open its workspace. Each agent runs as a session with its own live terminal window, and reaches Bee through a scoped MCP server: Bee's documentation offline, the live Wippy docs, other agents' sessions, and app building.
Ask in plain words. The agent builds an app and asks for exactly the permissions it needs. You approve once in Needs you, and it opens from Start → Apps as a window next to the work.
Agents share threads. Codex posts, Claude reads and runs the checks, and an app shows you the same log.
When an agent needs a decision it files a request. Needs you shows what it can do, what data it changes, and its deadline. Approve, and the action that was waiting continues. Nothing is decided twice, and silence never means yes. For permissions an agent asks for repeatedly, allow for 30 minutes.
Give an agent a goal and a metric: a faster build, a cheaper query, a better model. It can build the loop as an app: a watcher on the thread, work per attempt, results in its own database, a chart, and a reply on the thread when the goal is met or still isn't.
Claude builds an app that opens and drives other agents' sessions, and keeps the work on one durable thread. Agents can create and edit saved profiles, then spawn from them with overrides inside the permissions you allowed.
Apps and drivers your agents made, apps shared across your hive, and Hub packages, in one Library. Apps and Bee itself update from Hub without replacing the binary. Bee offers the newest compatible version for your runtime and installed components; you review and confirm the update.
Save a driver, role, traits and context in one profile. Use the same spec to open an interactive session or run work, with overrides for its name, role, traits, context and folder. Agents can create and edit profiles; saving one never approves extra permissions.
Every driver option has a typed schema, with defaults and limits that follow where the agent runs. Codex without approvals is available only inside an approved Docker container. Supported drivers ask for folder trust, scoped to the approved folder.

data
A Wippy application brings together services, UI instances for you, tools for agents, its own database, and Lua tests it runs inside Bee. It can also ship traits that extend agent sessions.
A script gets the whole OS and none of this. A Bee app is a service with its own state, permissions and UI.
Memory, knowledge bases and guardrails are installable apps. Their traits listen to session events and hook prompts or tool calls, so the workspace can remember, supply context and enforce your rules.
