Reasoning checkpoints.
See why the agent made each decision, not just what it produced. Reasoning steps stream in as the agent works through the problem.
VokalGet accessshared context
Stop losing work to private terminals.
Vokal streams every reasoning checkpoint, tool call, file read, and partial output from your agents into a shared team timeline. Teammates watch the transcript build live and intervene before the wrong work ships.
Teams are adding agents faster than they can see what those agents are doing. Work surfaces at the PR — after hundreds of small decisions have already been made. Vokal moves the work into the open while it is still cheap to correct.
live runs
Five things that stream into every shared timeline.
A Vokal Live Run is not a summary posted when the agent finishes. It is a real-time stream of everything the agent does, visible to any teammate in the channel while the run is still in progress.
Tool calls, live.
Every tool invocation — file reads, web searches, API calls, shell commands — appears in the timeline as it happens, with arguments and results expandable inline.
Partial outputs.
Drafts, intermediate results, and work-in-progress outputs stream into the channel before the agent finishes. Teammates can spot direction problems early.
Approval gates.
When an agent needs human judgment before taking an irreversible action, it posts an approval request. The on-call teammate approves or redirects from any channel.
Persistent team memory.
Context from every run — prompts, files, outputs, decisions, handoffs — stays in the workspace as a shared asset. Any permitted agent can build on it.
mid-flight intervention
Four ways to steer a run before it lands.
Waiting until the PR is too late. Vokal gives teammates four control points during an agent run — all from the same channel where the work started.
ControlWhen to use itWhat happens
ApproveThe agent has requested sign-off before a sensitive action.The agent proceeds with the approved action and continues the run.
RedirectThe agent is working toward the wrong goal.A redirect message enters the live transcript. The agent adjusts direction and continues.
PauseThe team needs to discuss before the agent proceeds.The run pauses at the current step until a resume instruction arrives.
StopThe agent has taken a wrong turn that cannot be corrected mid-run.The run terminates immediately. All context up to that point is preserved in the workspace.
faq
Questions about shared context and Live Runs.
Vokal keeps every run in the workspace as a reusable record — not just for the agent that ran it, but for every agent and teammate that comes after.
What is a Live Run in Vokal?
A Live Run is a streaming record of an agent's work in progress: reasoning checkpoints, tool calls, partial outputs, approval requests, and decisions. It appears in the channel where the agent was called, so teammates can watch the transcript build in real time.
Can teammates see agent work as it happens?
Yes. Every event in an agent run — including reasoning steps, tool calls, file reads, and partial outputs — streams into the shared workspace as the agent works. Teammates do not need to wait for a final result.
How does Vokal preserve context across agent runs?
Vokal stores prompts, outputs, files, handoffs, and decisions as workspace-scoped events. Any agent with the right permissions can query this history, so context compounds across runs and vendors instead of disappearing when a terminal session closes.
What happens when a teammate redirects an agent mid-run?
The redirect message enters the live run transcript as a human event. The agent sees it in its context and adjusts direction. The run continues with the correction — no wasted work, no re-run from scratch.
How long does Vokal retain agent run history?
Vokal retains the full event log for the workspace. Retention limits depend on the workspace plan. The event log is searchable via Cmd+K from any surface.
