What I'm looking for right now is a tool like this that lets more than one person participate in the conversation: right now Claude Code and similar tools are great for working alone, but I'd like to effectively pair-prompt with a partner who can see what's happening, and take turns steering the conversation.

Can Rowboat do this? If not, does anybody know a harness that can?

I built a harness in the cloud with slack like interface for this, allowing multiple people to join. It allows chat members to tag action items, work on files and sync to GitHub. My team uses it to coordinate on our task and teM context together, setup meetings which are auto transcripted and ingested into the attached wiki, and connect to calendar to setup meetings. Built it for our needs.

Didn't really consider putting it out in public. Is there a viable product out of this? How much would you pay.

Not yet, but we're actively working exactly toward this - group chats with the assistant, where people can see the session and take turns steering. We're exploring a peer-to-peer connection for it so there's no server in the middle, which keeps it consistent with the local-first setup.

I use a tool called linzumi for this
