Brief

Raft 1.0, launched 2026-07-15 by RC (@istdrc), introduces Team mode: a messaging-style workspace that coordinates multiple agents and lets each use the model best for its job. The platform enables cross-model collaboration (Claude and GPT agents can build on and review each other's work) and claims to run on existing subscriptions with no extra cost.

Why it matters

Raft 1.0 and its new Team mode were launched on 2026-07-15 by RC (@istdrc), the developer who built Kimi CLI at Moonshot and has worked on chat bots since 2015.

Key details

  • Team mode is an agent-collaboration platform where each agent can choose the model best suited to its task (e.g., a Claude agent and a GPT agent can collaborate, build on, and review each other's outputs).
  • Raft's UX consolidates agents into a single messaging-like workspace to avoid juggling terminals, sessions, and skills; Team mode runs on the subscriptions users already pay for, with no additional cost claimed.
Source evidence

People argue about which model is best. 

You stop debating models and start using the right one for each task and Raft’s Team mode runs on the subscriptions you already pay for, so no extra cost. 

@istdrc, who built Kimi CLI, launched Raft’s Team mode today. 

An agent collaboration platform where each agent runs tasks on whichever model fits its job. 

So a Claude agent and a GPT agent can work together, build on each other's work, and even review each other's output.

Hi, I'm RC. I built Kimi CLI at Moonshot last year, and back in 2015, bots that lived in group chats. For the past four months, I've been building Raft in public.

Today I'm launching Raft 1.0.

Right now, working with agents means juggling terminals, sessions, and skills. The more you run, the more you end up holding it all together yourself, and the easier it is to lose the thread.

Raft puts your agents in team mode: one workspace where working with agents feels like messaging your team. The work keeps moving, and you stay at the wheel.
