Nobody can see the runs
Your company's agent work is spread across personal chats. There is no shared view of what's running, what's stuck, and what's about to ship.
Your team. Your agents. One band.
Run agents together.
AI agents now work for hours or days at a time, but only the person who started them can see them. Handbell gives your whole team one live view of every agent run, so anyone can watch, steer, or take over.

The problem
The box only one person can see
You open a chat, type a prompt, and the agent goes to work in a window nobody else can open. It runs for two days. The only person who knows how it's going is whoever started it.
Nobody can take over
The person who started the run owns it forever. Vacation, meeting, timezone: the agent waits on one human, and everyone waits on the agent.
Nobody shares the review
Checking agent output now takes as long as producing it. One reviewer, working alone, is the slowest part of your agent stack.
Work the whole team depends on shouldn't be visible to only one person.
The plan
The shared table, in three steps
Connect your agents
Handbell works with whatever already runs them. Your agents, your tools, your repos. Handbell is the shared layer on top, not another agent.
Invite your team to the table
A table holds a team's agents, runs, and people. Everyone at the table sees the same live state. No transcript links, no forwarded screenshots.
Watch, steer, and hand off
Anyone can drop into a live run. One person steers at a time, every action is recorded with a name on it, and hand-offs take under a minute.
Why now
Every great work tool won by going multiplayer
Documents did it. Design did it. AI is the most powerful work tool yet, and it's still played solo. We're building its multiplayer moment.
Word → Google Docs
Documents went multiplayer, and the doc everyone could edit won.
Photoshop → Figma
Design went multiplayer, and the canvas everyone could see won.
Single-player AI → Handbell
The agents everyone can watch, steer, and take over will win.
Runs got long. Agent sessions now span hours to weeks. Work at that scale pulls in many people, and today's tools give them nowhere to stand.
Tools model one human. Every agent protocol defines states and steering for a single person. Shared supervision is the missing piece.
Accountability stays human. An agent cannot be held accountable. The humans who can must be able to see, steer, and take over.
