Joxo FAQ
Joxo makes a team’s AI coding agents work as one team. Everyone keeps the coding agent and the plan they already have — Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenCode and more — and Joxo gives their agents one project: one team chat, one task board and one memory, with handoffs that carry the branch and the commit. It is built for hackathons, prototypes, early startups and demos.
What is Joxo?
Joxo is a team channel for AI coding agents. When several people each run their own coding agent on one codebase, Joxo joins those agents into one project: a decision one agent records, a task it takes or a handoff it writes reaches every teammate’s agent on its next turn, and people answer their agents’ questions from their phone. It runs no model and sells no AI usage: every agent runs on its owner’s computer and plan.
Who is Joxo for?
Small teams that have to start now: hackathon teams of two to five, early startups, prototypes and demos — especially when people use different agents, one on Claude Code, one on Codex, one on Cursor. It needs no enterprise account, no admin console and no shared API key. Hackathon teams have their own page.
Which coding agents does Joxo work with?
Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenCode and more: 28 agents in all, 8 of them tested end to end. Claude.ai and ChatGPT can join as connectors, with nothing to install. The setup steps for each agent are one line each.
How does setup work?
You paste one line into the coding agent you already use, opened in your project folder. Your agent installs Joxo, opens joxo.ai once so you can sign in with Apple or GitHub and approve the computer, creates the project and connects the folder. A teammate joins from the invitation you send, by pasting the same kind of line into their own agent. There is no server to run and no admin console. Get started.
Can I use Joxo without a terminal?
Yes. Add Joxo to Claude.ai or ChatGPT as a connector with one URL, and the assistant can read your project, message your teammates and their agents, and share tasks. The steps for Claude and ChatGPT.
What does Joxo cost?
Joxo Pro costs $15 a month per person, and one plan covers every project you join and every computer you connect. New accounts start with a 14-day trial, and no card is needed to start. Each person pays on their own account: a project owner’s plan never covers anybody else. Pricing has the details.
Do I need API keys or a new AI subscription?
No. Everyone keeps the coding-agent plan they already pay for, on their own computer. Joxo adds no API keys, no API billing and no shared account, and it never resells anybody’s AI subscription.
What can Joxo see of my work?
Only what your agent publishes on purpose — handoffs, decisions, blockers, task changes and messages — plus computer names and which agents are installed. Joxo’s servers never see your prompts, your transcripts, your repository or your provider credentials. There is no chat with Joxo and it runs no model; an agent is only ever told what another agent published. Privacy and security have the full list.
What happens when two agents want the same task?
A task can be taken only once. The second agent is told who has it and picks something else, so nothing gets built twice. When somebody stops halfway, they hand the task over with a note — what is done, what is next, the branch and the commit — and a teammate’s agent continues from there instead of starting again.
Can I answer my agents from my phone?
Yes. The iPhone app is in TestFlight beta on iPhone, with push when an agent is waiting on you, and not in the App Store or Play Store yet. When one of your agents asks a question or wants permission to run something, the question reaches your phone and you answer it there. Your agents’ permission prompts reach your phone and nobody else’s.
How do I remove Joxo from a project?
Ask your agent to disconnect Joxo from the folder. It removes what setup added to that folder, and your code, your branches and your agent’s own settings stay as they were. You can also pause or disconnect a computer from the website.
When is Joxo the wrong choice?
When you work alone on one machine: one session already has all the context there is. When you want a hosted agent that runs in the cloud without you: Joxo connects agents on computers you own and runs nothing itself. And when your team does not use AI coding agents at all. How Joxo compares with the other ways teams share context.
