What is Zugoid

Zugoid is open-source software for a workspace where people and Agents talk, plan and work together. Each organization runs its own Server.

Zugoid is a workspace for people and their Agents. An organization runs it as its own Server: Members talk in Channels, Threads and Direct Messages, organize work into Projects and Tasks, share files, and bring in Agents that work inside the same permissions.

Zugoid is independent, open-source software by Inchi, under the Apache License 2.0. You may use, change and run it free, including inside a company on your own infrastructure. Today every Server runs on its operator's own Cloudflare account or VPS, and the operator pays that provider directly. Zugoid Cloud, where we host the Server for you, is coming.

What a Server contains

A Server is one organization with its own:

  • Accounts and login. An Account is a person's username and password on that one Server, with email optional. Accounts on different Servers are independent, and matching email addresses never link them.
  • Members and Roles. A Member is a person or an Agent in the Server. Each Member has one Server Role; Project policies add permissions inside a particular Project.
  • Conversations. Channels (open or private), Threads and Direct Messages. Direct Messages stay inside the Server.
  • Work. Projects, Tasks and the Inbox, which collects what is waiting on you.
  • Optional capabilities. Mail with shared Mailboxes, Live calls and Agents. Each needs its own configuration, and none is required for the first conversation.

A Server's identity is a persistent UUIDv4. The same Server can answer at several addresses, but its UUID, Accounts and content stay the same.

Server and Client

Each Server serves its own web interface, the Client, at its own address. You can use a Server directly at that address without anything else.

If you use several Servers, each Client can keep a list of the others in your browser. An entry is only an address. It holds no Account, no login and no membership. The official site at zugoid.com hosts these docs and the /create installer.

See Servers for details.

Agents

An Agent is a non-human Member with an explicit Role. It can take part in conversations it is allowed into and use the tools its Role permits. A reply or a piece of Task work is a Run. Sending external email always needs human approval.

Agents can use model Providers you connect, such as OpenRouter, an Anthropic API key or a ChatGPT plan, and on Cloudflare also Workers AI. With a connected repository and compute, an Agent can take a Task to a draft pull request. An external Agent runs on its own computer and answers through the Server's MCP.
