Category: devtools

Tags: multi-agent, ai-agents, orchestration, local-messaging, developer-tools

Score: 7.3/10 (Innovation: 7, Technical: 8, Documentation: 8, Utility: 6)

Agent Exchange (ax) enables multiple coding agents like Claude Code, Codex CLI, and OpenCode to communicate locally on the same machine, each retaining its native UI and permissions. It uses a Go broker with SQLite for durable messaging and supports cross-machine pairing via Tailscale, allowing agents to delegate tasks and collaborate across processes and repositories.

Target audience: developers using AI coding assistants, devops engineers managing agent workflows, AI researchers exploring multi-agent systems
