Swarms launches AgentHQ: a pixel-art office where you watch Claude and Codex agents work live
KyeGomezB · x · 2026-08-31
Swarms has launched AgentHQ (pre-beta, waitlist at swarms.ai/agenthq), turning multi-agent orchestration into a top-down pixel-art office you can walk around in. Each agent is an employee at a desk: you hire it, name it, pick its model, walk up and hand it a task in plain language. It walks to its chair and starts working, while speech bubbles and a live office feed stream its actual tool calls and output.
Under the hood, every employee is a real coding agent with real file and shell access, running via the Claude Agent SDK or OpenAI Codex SDK inside its own directory on disk. The author argues multi-agent systems have a visibility problem — you learn what agents did only afterward from JSON logs — and AgentHQ makes status spatial and immediate: an agent walking to its desk is thinking, one typing is working. The post also covers the architecture, four ways agents communicate, and office themes.
