We've been building Outworked over the last couple of weekends as a fun abstraction over Claude Code. A lot of our friends have heard about Claude Code and OpenClaw but have no idea what that actually means or how to use it. Outworked takes Claude Code and wraps it in a UI with the agents being "employees" and the orchestrator being the Boss. Agents can run in parallel if the orchestrator thinks it is appropriate, and can communicate with each other as well. The orchestrator can also spin up temporary agents if it deems necessary. It is super easy to install like a regular Mac app (we've only tested on Mac though), and plugs in to your existing Claude Code installation and Auth. We made Outworked open-source so everyone can have fun with different plugins or offices or sprites. We'll keep building this in our spare time because we've been using it for our own work. Would love to hear what you think or what would be interesting to add. Happy building! P.S. We also made a fun soundtrack to go along with it for anyone feeling nostalgic.

Love this idea. I wonder, does it work well? I haven’t messed much with this persona-based agent stuff. I’ve always heard “just tell it to be a senior dev, then ask it to do something and it will give you better output”, is that true in the experience of anyone? Genuinely curious. This seems like that but taken to the next level with different personas wrong together and with an interface to see them work together, which is fun at the surface but is it actually better than just asking an agent to do something?
