Create autonomous
teams of agents.

And orchestrate

Define their roles and how they work together.
Run them in the background, on your own machine.

TeamCTL will give you the building blocks to create an autonomous personal assistant, a research team, or a whole organization of agents.

You define the structures, roles, and how the agents are connected.

Define the team.

Four agents. Their roles, tools and connections.

Agents can communicate via DMs or channels (similar to Slack).

A personal assistant is one thing you can build with TeamCTL.

TeamCTL helps you build agent orchestration around your needs. Run a personal assistant in the background, or put a team of researchers to work around the clock.

Released in April 2026, over three months before Grok Bot’s beta launch and five months before OpenAI announced Dots.
