## What it is
Munder Difflin is a free, open-source desktop multi-agent harness that wraps terminal coding agent CLIs (Claude Code, Codex, Grok, Gemini CLI, and others) into a self-coordinating team of clones running on your own machine. It gives each agent long-term memory, a mailbox, and a visualized 2D office floor, with a 'Michael' clone routing work between agents using your existing subscription limits.

## Use cases
- run multiple AI coding agents in parallel locally
- orchestrate claude code and other CLI agents as a team
- give AI agents shared long-term memory and messaging
- monitor AI agents in a visual office simulation
- automate coding tasks with agents while away from desk
- coordinate agent handoffs and work routing on my laptop

## When to choose
- you already pay for CLI agent subscriptions and want to use their hourly limits fully
- you want a local-first, visual multi-agent setup without cloud dependency
- you need agents that share memory and hand off work to each other

## When to avoid
- you need a headless or server-side agent orchestration system
- you want fully managed cloud-hosted agents rather than local ones
- you need a production-hardened tool rather than a working prototype
