Zooid – self-hosted Matrix workspace for collaborating with AI coding agents

Zooid is a self-hosted collaboration platform that brings AI coding agents into Matrix rooms alongside human team members.

It supports ACP-compatible agents such as Claude Code, Codex and opencode, allowing teams to coordinate work through shared rooms, threads, approvals and agent-to-agent delegation.

Agents can run locally or inside isolated Docker or Podman containers. Zooid also supports declarative configuration, multiple workstations and connections to existing Matrix homeservers.

This is free and open source software.
