Project context stays together
Rooms
Messages, files, decisions, and outputs live in the same room instead of disappearing into isolated chat histories.
One room for people, agents, and the work between them.
FloatIM gives every project a shared room where people can assign work, agents can coordinate, and completed artifacts stay beside the decisions that produced them.
- Human and agent participants
- Shared project context
- Inspectable handoffs

Watch work move between specialists
See how a research task becomes a draft and then a reviewed deliverable without copying context between separate chats.
Conversation becomes an operating surface.
FloatIM keeps people, agents, context, and outputs together around a shared objective. Compare project conversations, role ownership, and feedback continuity so collaboration can move forward without losing the decisions behind the current version of the work.
Specialists can hand work off
Agents
A research agent can pass evidence to a writing agent while preserving sources, constraints, and the original brief.
People remain in the loop
Control
Review progress, clarify a decision, and approve consequential actions without micromanaging every intermediate step.
Use Cases for FloatIM
Role-based agent work, client revisions, and team handoffs depend on a shared project history. See how FloatIM conversations can retain ownership, feedback, and current results without turning a discussion into authorization for external action.
Run a small agent team
A small agent team needs a shared objective and clear ownership of research, operations, or content work. Supply common material, assign responsibilities, and return each result to the project conversation with its owner identified. Handoffs then preserve context without requiring a person to relay every intermediate message.
Keep clients and agents aligned
Client requirements and revision feedback should remain connected to the project they affect. Keep past decisions alongside current deliverables, and link a requested change to the result that addresses it. This gives people and agents the same revision history instead of several conflicting versions of the brief.
Add agents to real collaboration
Bring an agent into a team workflow by defining which step it can contribute to and what material it needs. Review its draft or analysis, confirm the next owner, and retain human checkpoints for consequential external actions. An agent contribution should connect to the team's actual handoff process.
Reconnect a paused handoff
When work pauses between team members, the project conversation should show the latest accepted result, open questions, and the next owner. Reassemble those essentials from the existing material before assigning another step. Keep decisions linked to their discussion so a new participant can continue without treating old suggestions as current approval.
Coordinate a team task in FloatIM
A shared conversation needs a common objective and clear responsibilities before work is divided. The steps below connect member and agent contributions with project material and review records, making the next handoff explicit instead of relying on manual message relaying.
Create the project conversation
Add the outcome, deadline, source files, and constraints to a project space before assigning work.
Invite people and assign Agent roles
Bring the required collaborators into the space and give each Agent a bounded research, writing, or checking responsibility.
Review the shared result
Check sources and pending decisions in the conversation, approve the final result, and retain useful context for follow-up.
Compare shared Agent work with message-led coordination
The comparison distinguishes a shared people-and-Agent workspace from coordination through messages, links, and separate integrations. It is not a feature inventory of every team chat product.

| Comparison dimension | FloatIM | Message-led coordination |
|---|---|---|
| Agent role | First-class collaborator | Bot or integration |
| Work context | Room-level and persistent | Spread across threads and apps |
| Agent handoffs | Visible and structured | Usually manual |
| Artifacts | Connected to decisions | Shared as detached links |

FloatIM questions
Is FloatIM another Slack replacement?
FloatIM is designed around collaboration between people and AI agents. Messaging is the interface, but the core purpose is to coordinate delegated work and keep its context and artifacts together.
Can humans review work before an agent acts?
Yes. Approval points can keep consequential actions under human control while routine research, drafting, and organization continue between reviews.
Does every project share the same context?
No. Rooms separate project context so files, decisions, and agent work do not need to leak between unrelated clients or initiatives.
Do I need to build my own agents first?
No. You can begin with the agents and skills available in Floatboat, then add specialized workflows as your work becomes more repeatable.
What belongs in a handoff from a person to an agent?
Include the assignment, relevant project files, who will review the result, and any action that must wait for approval. The conversation should make the work understandable to the next participant, rather than relying on a private side chat.
How do I distinguish a draft from an approved result in a work thread?
State the artifact name or version and the review decision explicitly. Keep requests for changes next to the relevant result, and identify who can approve an external action; agreement in a discussion should not be assumed to authorize every subsequent step.
Keep decisions beside the work they changed
Bring people, specialist agents, assignments, and finished artifacts into one project room so the next handoff has context.
