Wilmington, DE-based Sumus AI has opened its collaborative AI workspace to the public, offering a platform where people and AI agents work together in shared conversations. The service, available at Sumus AI, allows users to select from multiple AI models for each cloud agent, connect local agents, and invite colleagues, clients, friends, or family into the same discussion. Unlike tools that treat AI as a solitary assistant, Sumus AI is designed around the idea that useful agents should be shareable, with room for multiple participants to contribute questions, knowledge, and judgment.
The platform supports a range of AI models, including Grok, Claude, GPT, Gemini, and DeepSeek. Users can assign different models to different cloud agents based on task requirements. For example, a team might use Claude for drafting, GPT for reviewing an argument, and Grok for another part of a brief. Each agent can be given specific instructions, effectively creating specialized roles such as researcher, writer, or reviewer. These agents then operate within a shared conversation where human participants can assign work and discuss results.
Collaboration is a core differentiator. Once an agent is configured, its creator can invite others into a shared space and add them to the conversation. Teammates can ask follow-up questions, supply missing details, or request revisions without needing to rebuild the agent's setup. This contrasts with tools like Grok Bot, which offers shareable templates that give recipients a copy on their own account but do not carry over the original conversation history. Sumus AI instead lets people work with the same agent in the same conversation, reducing the creator's role as a go-between for every request, answer, and correction.
The platform also connects supported local agents running on a user's computer, such as Codex, Claude Code, and Grok Build. These local agents can join cloud agents and human participants in the shared space. In practice, cloud agents might handle research and planning while local agents manage implementation in a project. The connected computer must remain online for local agents to work, but cloud agents can continue their tasks independently.
Sumus AI offers a free tier that includes 500 credits per month, up to three members, and up to ten AI teammates, with no credit card required. For larger teams, the Plus plan provides 3,600 monthly credits, up to 25 members, and up to 300 AI teammates at $24 per month or $240 per year. The Sumus AI pricing page lists plan details and optional monthly credit add-ons. Monthly credits reset and do not roll over.
The launch matters because it addresses a growing need in AI-assisted work: moving beyond single-user interactions to team-based workflows where both humans and AI contribute. By allowing model choice, shared conversations, and integration with local development tools, Sumus AI positions itself as a hub for mixed human-AI teams. For small businesses, consultants, and project groups, this could streamline collaboration and reduce the friction of managing multiple AI tools separately. As AI becomes more embedded in daily work, platforms that facilitate seamless human-AI teamwork may see rising adoption.
