Arroway vs AgentsRoom: what is the difference?
AgentsRoom describes itself as one desktop window for all your AI coding agents: it opens a terminal session for each agent, groups them by project, shows each one's live state (thinking, done, waiting for input), and its site says it supports Claude, Codex, GitHub Copilot CLI and Cursor among 14 providers, on macOS, Windows and Linux. Its Project Memory is a knowledge base per project that the agents write and read themselves through tools, stored on its server and shared with anyone signed in who opens the project. Arroway does not run your agents. It is the shared record of what the people on a project decided, which every AI tool you already use reads before it acts, plus a cockpit that shows the state of your Claude Code, Codex and Cursor sessions. The difference is who produces what stands, and where the agents live. In the AgentsRoom pages I read, notes come from the agents' own work, and I did not find a step where a person approves a note before other agents read it. In Arroway, assistants write proposals and a person approves what becomes a rule, with the condition that ends it. Use Arroway when what every agent must follow is a decision someone approved, whichever program starts the agent. The install page is the first step.

Running the agents, or recording what was decided
AgentsRoom's documentation describes an app that hosts the agents: each project is a folder on your machine, each agent has its own terminal, role and provider, and the app shows which agents are working, done or waiting for you. Sharing a project means the owner invites another AgentsRoom account; the member watches the owner's agents live and can type into them, with the owner's computer acting as the server for a small team. Arroway starts from a different object. It does not host or start anything: each agent keeps running in the program and the account where you started it, and what the agents share is the project's record of decisions.
Who decides what the next agent reads
The Project Memory page describes notes that agents write while they work — architecture, decisions, conventions, pitfalls, the state of each feature — which agents are told to read before exploring the code and to update after a significant outcome. A person can browse and edit the notes, the page says anyone signed in who opens the project reads the same memory, and it says agents are told not to store secrets. The pages I read do not describe a person approving a note before other agents read it, or a condition that ends a note. In Arroway, an assistant that writes into the project writes a proposal; it becomes a rule only when a person approves it, each rule carries the condition that ends it, and a newer rule names the one it retires, so the old one leaves the next read and stays in the history.
When to use Arroway
Use Arroway when what every agent must follow is a decision someone approved, and when your agents run in more than one program or teammates' agents work on the same project. The cockpit lists your Claude Code, Codex and Cursor sessions with their state — working, needs you or stopped — and while it is open you can allow or deny a Claude Code or Codex permission request from it. A teammate sees the state, the project and whose agent it is, never the content. It does not run your agents: New agent opens your own program with the first message ready, and you press Send there. There is no phone app today, and the cockpit is off until you turn it on. The first step is the install page.
What it looks like in practice
A five-person studio runs Claude Code, Codex and Cursor on the same client project, and one of them keeps an AgentsRoom window open for their own agents. On Monday the studio agrees that no agent touches the client's billing module without the lead's approval. On Wednesday an agent fixing a bug in that module saves a note about how the module's retries work and which file to edit first. These are different objects. The note describes how the module behaves, and it comes from an agent's work. The Monday agreement is something a person decided, and the next agent in any program should read it as in force, with the lead's name on it and the condition that ends it. In Arroway the agreement is recorded once as a rule, and Claude Code, Codex and Cursor open their next session by reading it. We have not run a team on AgentsRoom; what is said of it here comes from its pages. The studio is illustrative.
Questions people ask about this
- Does Arroway start or host my agents?
- No. The cockpit shows what your agents are doing and carries the messages you write to them. New agent opens your own program with the first message ready, and you press Send there. The agent keeps running in the program and the account where you started it.
- Does it matter which program starts the agent?
- Arroway is installed in the AI tool itself — Claude, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor or any MCP tool — so the session reads the project when it opens and records what was decided when it closes. The cockpit lists sessions from Claude Code, Codex and Cursor.
- How do I try Arroway?
- Install it in the tool you already use — the install page has one route for Claude, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor or any MCP tool — and sign in when the tool asks. From then on, sessions open by reading the project and close by recording what was decided.
Where this is verifiable
AgentsRoom's website and documentation (agentsroom.dev, and its Project Memory, Project Sharing and Multi-Project Multi-Agent pages under agentsroom.dev/docs), read on 16 October 2026; those pages are marked as checked on 6 October, 8 September and 14 October 2026 respectively — AgentsRoom is described only as those pages describe it on that date, and its features can change in any release. Product documentation on this site (How it works, Install), the cockpit operations description in the repository, the answers on which of your agents is waiting on you and on Arroway vs Sentra, and the sanction, supersession and expiry-condition rules in the sanctioned product spec. Everything described here about Arroway is behaviour the tools apply today, not roadmap. The studio in the example is illustrative.
