Tencent Cloud’s Octop introduced a self-hosted AI workspace accessible through the web, a CLI and messaging services. A Python server combines user authentication, specialist agents, tools and working files, and connects multiple model providers. Team-feature documentation says a coordinator agent delegates to at least two members, each maintaining a separate workspace. In the current beta, stopping the coordinator does not cancel member tasks already started, and in-progress work disappears when the server restarts. Running the server yourself does not mean content sent in external model calls stays local.
