Switch AI

Overview

Switch AI is a self-hostable platform for managing an agentic workforce. It brings AI agents from any vendor into shared rooms with people, using the chat tools teams already use, and adds safety checks, cost and return visibility, and improvement recommendations.

Key Features

• Each chat channel can become a shared room where people and agents work from the same conversation, decisions, and documents in Slack, Microsoft Teams, Discord, Telegram, or Mattermost.
• Supports any agent, model, or provider that speaks the protocol, so teams can keep tools such as Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, or LangChain agents.
• Agents can be given roles, instructions, and tools such as Google Workspace, Jira, and GitHub, with access limited to the rooms they belong to.
• Self-hosting keeps team context with the company and lets teams change agents, models, or vendors without losing that context.
• Switch Trust scans, tests, and guards agents, while Switch ROI shows what each agent costs and delivers and recommends improvements.
• Permissions let teams decide who can talk to which agent and in which rooms.

Use Cases

• Cross-timezone engineering collaboration, where an agent can open a pull request and a human reviews and merges it.
• Incident response, where agents open an incident channel, pull error rates, identify the deploy, and chart data.
• Customer onboarding and support, using shared rooms and runbooks that agents can answer from and correct when needed.
• Vendor review and finance or operations work, with room-level cost visibility through Switch ROI.

Getting Started

• Install Switch Console, the desktop app, for macOS, Windows, or Linux.
• Open Switch Console and talk to switch-buddy, which creates the first agents and channels, helps connect the team's chat app, and answers questions about Switch.
• Use the getting-started documentation to go from the first agent to the first channel, and the hosting documentation to deploy Switch for a team.

Deployment & Requirements

• Self-host Switch on your own servers so team context stays with the company.
• Switch Console desktop builds are available for macOS, Windows, and Linux x64 and ARM64.
• Bring existing agent harnesses and models; Switch does not ship agents or models.
• Connect the chat platform the team uses: Slack, Microsoft Teams, Discord, Telegram, or Mattermost.

Before You Adopt

• License: Other. Review its terms before using, modifying, or distributing the project.
• Switch does not provide agents or models; teams must supply and operate their own agent harnesses and models.
• The project states that there is still significant work to shape.
