Collab OS

Collab OS · beta

A digital library
for studios, teams, and
the agents we work with.

CollabOS is where your team tracks progress, turns meetings into decisions and actions, and keeps a project's full history in one place. Collaborators stay in the loop. Agents help keep it all up to date; people stay in charge of the decisions.

Initiative

A space to (co)create

Work is arranged, not stacked. A surface holds actions, documents, assets, notes and people in one field. Craft your creative space in ways that best serve your team. Use position, size, connections to communicate meaning, importance, and sequence. Everyone sees and touches the same truth while you build together.

Weekly sync · today

Conversations become actions

Meetings are recorded as living artifacts of what was said, surfaced, decided, asked for. The project’s content and structure automatically evolves with each conversation. Changes are proposed by agents and approved by humans.

Built for real relationships (and your agents)

Collaboration is a space woven by conversation. CollabOS holds that conversation across the full arc of a project, from the first spark of an idea through to delivery. Vision and intention sit alongside commitment and action, so the rhythms of a project are chosen, not accidental. Agents work here too, in service of the people in the room.

How it flows

Everything a team needs to go from idea to execution

From the first spark of an idea, through the work of making it real, to something a team can build on again. Collab OS holds the whole arc, not just pieces of it.

Vision

Capture ideas as they surface.

Ideas rarely arrive fully formed. CollabOS gives them somewhere to land: a sketch, a note, a connection to something already in motion. Nothing gets lost in the gap between thinking and doing, and when the moment is right, it's already there, ready to build on.

Act

Where work moves and stays visible.

Work moves alongside vision, not after it. Plans get delegated and tracked as they happen, so everyone knows not just what's next but why it matters and who it's for. Progress stays visible instead of scattered across messages and memory.

Grow

What you build becomes what you build on.

Finished work doesn't disappear when a project ends. It becomes an asset the next project can draw on, evolve, or connect to. Over time, CollabOS becomes more than memory for a single team; it's a library the whole studio builds from, so every new project starts further ahead than the last.

None of this happens alone. It runs through conversation, trust, and a network of people and organizations who already work together. Collab OS grows out of that network, not instead of it. We're not built for isolated groups, we're here to build pathways between everything being made, across teams, projects, and organizations.

Our philosophical backbone

Action Evolution

Anything ever built began as an idea. It grew into a plan. The plan was committed to, with a name and a date. Then it was built, and at some point the building is done. But it's not truly real until it is integrated into a greater whole.

CollabOS uses six stages to track this arc. Any action, small or large, moves through this cycle, and we use the same language for actions, initiatives, assets, and entire collaborations. Other systems track to-dos. We track states, because each one has real implications. If something is going to last, it needs to not just be made, but considered, tested, and integrated into what's already there.

Our statuses remind you to question purpose, plan properly, honor your commitments, and move beyond simply "done". The system holds this so you can spend your attention on the work itself.

Six stages · click one

  • ideaA spark, recorded.Someone noticed something, wanted something, or made a request. Now it exists somewhere real, not just in someone's head.
  • planningUnpacked in dialogue.Research, alignment, iteration. The one stage where new ideas are cheap, because nothing has been promised yet.
  • scheduledA promise: named owners, a date, what "done" looks like.The coordination threshold. You are either through it or you're not, and the surface can tell.
  • underwayThe making.The largest field, with smaller cycles inside it: prototype, test, evolve. Ideas are still welcome here, inside the promise.
  • doneThe conditions are met and it's declared.A moment, not a gradual process. Whoever asked is told.
  • integratedWoven into a greater whole.Delivered, launched, invoiced, reflected on. Learning harvested. Done is really just begun.

Where it's growing

A true Operating System, not just another app.

We're building a collection of interoperating toolsets, and a language that joins them. We already have a lot of the parts built and there's a lot more coming soon. Help us build this into something that will serve you, your work, and the people you build with.
