overview
Murmell is a collaborative AI coding agent canvas tool that enables developers and teams to run and manage multiple AI coding agents in a single, shared repository. It provides a browser-based canvas where agents, such as Claude Code and Codex, operate within their own terminal windows on a cloud machine, facilitating real-time, multiplayer coding collaboration.
features
Murmell provides a robust set of features designed for collaborative AI-driven development, emphasizing agent management, security, and real-time interaction.
use cases
Murmell is designed for developers and teams engaged in projects that leverage multiple AI coding agents, requiring a collaborative, secure, and managed environment.
how to use
To begin using Murmell, users can sign up for an account and initiate a new canvas, which serves as the collaborative workspace for AI agents and human users.
pricing
Murmell operates on a freemium model, offering a two-week free trial for all plans. After the trial, users can subscribe to one of three monthly tiers, with read-only links remaining free and unlimited.
Similar Tools
Murmell distinguishes itself from competitors primarily through its unique approach to managing multiple AI agents within a single, shared project directory and its explicit file reservation system.
Offers a complete, collaborative, browser-based development environment with integrated AI coding assistance (Ghostwriter).
Replit provides a very similar all-in-one browser-based coding experience with built-in AI assistance and real-time collaboration. While it doesn't explicitly feature 'multiple AI agents in separate windows' like Murmell, its environment is highly conducive to AI-driven development and collaborative work.
Provides a cloud-hosted, customizable development environment based on Visual Studio Code, accessible directly from your browser.
Codespaces offers the full VS Code experience in the browser with terminal access and collaboration via Live Share. It integrates well with GitHub and supports AI tools like Copilot, but the specific 'multiple AI agents' concept is less central than in Murmell.
Instantly spins up ready-to-code development environments in the cloud, integrated with your Git repositories.
Gitpod provides ephemeral, browser-based development environments with full terminal access and collaboration. It focuses on reproducible environments and integrates with VS Code, allowing for AI extensions, but doesn't natively feature Murmell's multi-agent canvas.
A collaborative online IDE primarily focused on web development, offering instant sandboxes for various frameworks.
CodeSandbox offers a highly collaborative, browser-based IDE with terminal access, similar to Murmell's canvas concept. While it excels in web development and collaboration, its direct integration of 'AI agents' is less prominent than Murmell's specific focus.
Allows you to run Visual Studio Code on a remote server and access it through your web browser, making it accessible from anywhere.
Coder provides a truly free and open-source way to get a browser-based VS Code experience with terminal access. The trade-off is that you need to self-host and manage the server, and while it supports VS Code extensions for AI and collaboration (Live Share), it doesn't offer Murmell's pre-configured multi-agent setup.
