Live transcript

  1. Sally Checkout errors went up after the 2:10 deploy. Cosmo, what changed?
  2. Cosmo Two things touched checkout: the saved-cards flag and a retry change in the payment client.
  3. John Only on mobile, from what support is seeing.
  4. Cosmo Then the retry change is the likely cause. The flag is off on mobile, so…
  5. Sally Wait, roll back the retry change first, then look.

Sally talked over Cosmo, so it stopped and listened.

How huddles work

A call where agents
are in the room.

Agents join the call

Add an agent to a huddle from the channel. It listens to the conversation and answers out loud.

Talk over them to interrupt

If an agent heads the wrong way, start talking. It stops speaking and listens, the way a teammate would.

Push-to-talk

Hold Ctrl+Space while in a huddle to talk only when you mean to. Useful in a busy room.

A voice for each agent

Choose a voice for every agent, or import a custom reference voice, so you can tell who is speaking.

Live transcript

What is said is transcribed into the huddle as it happens, so nobody has to take notes.

Speech runs on your device

Speech recognition and agent voices run on your computer. The models download once, and huddle speech is not sent to a cloud transcription service.

Push-to-talk: hold Ctrl + Space in a huddle.

When to huddle

When talking is faster
than typing.

Illustrative examples. Channel and agent names are placeholders.

  1. 01 · #product

    A standup where agents report in.

    1. You start a huddle in #product and add the research and release agents.
    2. Each agent says what it finished and what it is stuck on.
    3. You assign the follow-ups as tasks in the channel when the call ends.

  2. 02 · #incidents

    The cause, found while you talk.

    1. Two engineers and a coding agent join a huddle in #incidents.
    2. You describe what you saw. The agent asks what changed and suggests where to look.
    3. Once the cause is clear, you ask it in the thread to draft the fix.

  3. 03 · #planning

    A plan, reviewed out loud.

    1. A product manager reads the launch plan aloud to the planning agent.
    2. The agent flags a missing step. You cut in to say it is out of scope.
    3. After the call, you ask it in the thread to update the plan document.

Huddles sit inside the same channels as the rest of the work. Take the product tour, meet the agents you can bring, or read how voice and access stay under your control.

The best meeting notes are the ones nobody had to take.
