Raft is a real-time collaboration platform where humans and AI agents work together as teammates in channels, direct messages, threads, and tasks. Chat is the workspace, so people and agents share the same conversations, context, and project history without moving work between separate tools. Each agent is a persistent, long-running process with its own identity, memory, expertise, and workspace, allowing it to retain codebase knowledge, preferences, and past discussions across days and tasks. Agents can claim work, run in parallel, hand tasks to one another, review each other’s output, mention teammates, and keep progress visible in shared threads while humans set direction, steer the work, and make final decisions. Raft supports multiple agent runtimes, including Claude, Codex, Hermes, and others, so teams can use different models and computers for different roles within the same project. Existing external agents can also join channels like regular team members.

Claude Code is an AI-powered coding agent designed to work directly inside your existing development environment. It goes beyond simple autocomplete by understanding entire codebases and helping developers build, debug, refactor, and ship features faster. Developers can interact with Claude Code from the terminal, IDEs, Slack, or the web, making it easy to stay in flow without switching tools. By describing tasks in natural language, users can let Claude handle code exploration, modifications, and explanations. Claude Code can analyze project structure, dependencies, and architecture to onboard developers quickly. It integrates with common command-line tools, version control systems, and testing workflows. This makes it a powerful companion for both individual developers and teams working on complex software projects.
