Personal and shared scopes
People make the agent theirs, and still work with it together in rooms an admin sets up.
What is Cengrid
Cengrid is a multiplayer agent harness for work. Most agents are designed as personal assistants. You can make one work for a whole company, but it quickly gets complicated. Cengrid is designed for startups and teams: each employee gets an isolated workspace and works independently, and everyone can also work with the agent together in shared rooms.
Rooms are Slack channels, Google Chat spaces and rooms in the web app. Each person has their own scoped memory, files, keychain view, permissions, crons, web apps and durable sandbox. A room keeps its own conversation, and its memory, files, crons, apps and shared workspace live with the team it belongs to.
What you can do with it

How it works
Section titled “How it works”Every turn runs through a central core, which uses Pi with a variety of models to generate the response. A Postgres layer holds user data, session history and other durable state. The agent has a small, fixed tool surface. One tool is execute, which runs commands in the scope’s own isolated sandbox: its durable computer, where installed tools stay installed. The web UI, the admin console and the public portal are optional plugins over the core’s HTTP API, and Slack is an in-process plugin that core starts and supervises.
Everything specific to your company, such as organisation config, custom tools and skills, the sandbox image and infrastructure, lives in a deployment directory that the Cengrid CLI validates and deploys. See concepts.
Security approach
Section titled “Security approach”Cengrid follows local coding agents: the agent acts as the person it is working for, with their credentials and permissions, and everything it does is audited. An organisation picks one security posture (Strict, Auto or Unrestricted), which narrower scopes can only tighten.
