Claude Code sessions can now message each other

Two open sessions can talk: Claude finds the others with ListAgents and sends a message through SendMessage, either because you asked or on its own when a change in one session affects the work in another. Only text Claude writes crosses over — never conversation history, never files. Since version 2.1.232 you can also address a session directly by typing @ followed by its name. The feature runs on macOS and Linux and needs version 2.1.224 or later, and /list-agents shows what is available. It pays off most when you keep the frontend and backend of the same project in separate sessions.

Two open Claude Code sessions can now exchange messages, with you no longer acting as the courier.

How it works

Claude finds other sessions with the ListAgents tool and sends a message through SendMessage, either because you asked or on its own when a change in one session affects the work in another. Only text Claude writes crosses over — never conversation history, never files.

How to use it

Since version 2.1.232 you can address a session directly by typing @ followed by its name. The /list-agents command shows what is available. The feature runs on macOS and Linux and needs version 2.1.224 or later.

Where it actually pays off

It pays off most when you keep the frontend and backend of the same project in separate sessions. A change to the API contract in one session reaches the other immediately, without you retelling it and without carrying types from window to window.

ChatGPT now reads and sends your Apple Messages, on the Mac only

A plug-in in the ChatGPT desktop app reads and searches your iMessage, SMS and RCS threads and sends messages through Messages on your behalf. By default nothing goes out until you approve both the text and the recipients. There is a switch that removes that step, and OpenAI's own documentation argues against using it.

GitHub Copilot moved into Slack and Microsoft Teams on the same day

Both shipped on August 21 in public preview. Mention @GitHub in a channel and the agent triages issues, investigates failures, writes changes in a cloud sandbox and opens a pull request, with the conversation attached. The interesting part is not the capability list, which is familiar, but the room it moved into: the place where work gets discussed rather than written.
