Ekko Studio

Ekko Studio is a local-first unified workspace for multiple agents, bringing its own Ekko agent, the third-party Hermes, and six coding agents—Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Grok, Pi, and DeepSeek Harness—into a single console spanning desktop, web, and mobile. If you run several agent CLIs at once and are tired of switching between terminal windows, it is built exactly for this scenario.

Core Capabilities

• Multiple Runtimes Side by Side: 8 agent runtimes coexist in one place, and each coding session can independently specify its provider and model
• Group Chat Collaboration: Multi-agent session rooms support mention routing, context compression, and cross-runtime collaboration
• Visual Workflows: A Vue Flow canvas where nodes are agents, with conditional branches, loops, human approval gates, and execution replay
• MCP and Skill Hosting: Four built-in MCP toolsets, browsable and installable skill packages, and per-Profile usage stats
• Ten Messaging Channels: Beyond Telegram, Discord, and Slack, it covers Feishu (Lark), DingTalk, WeChat, WeCom, and QQBot
• Data Ownership: Sessions are stored in local SQLite, with a built-in file browser, web terminal, and usage analytics

Use Cases Technical developers and small teams that use several agents at once; engineers who need to orchestrate multi-step agent flows on a canvas while keeping execution evidence; self-hosters who want to connect agents to Chinese messaging channels. Not recommended for non-technical users—public deployment requires setting up your own reverse proxy, and it depends heavily on Hermes's Python runtime.

Unique Advantages It builds the host and orchestration layer rather than yet another in-house agent. Compared with interfaces serving a single CLI, the difference is making disparate runtimes like Codex and Claude Code collaborate side by side, leaving a replayable evidence chain for every step.

Editor's Review The maturity is real: 85 contributors, 137 releases, and 634,000 Docker image pulls rule out the empty-shell suspicion. But note: the license is actually BSL-1.1, not open source, and commercial use requires separate licensing; the project is led by an individual developer and the domain is only about three weeks old; purchases in mainland China go through Xianyu only, with no invoice.
