Munder Difflin: run an office of Claude Code and Codex clones locally

The open-source harness wraps the coding CLIs you already pay for into one memory-sharing team — free, local-first. Plus: o3 leaves ChatGPT this Wednesday.

  • An office of AI clones on your laptop

    Munder Difflin is a new MIT-licensed desktop app that turns multiple Claude Code sessions into a coordinated crew — each clone gets its own terminal, memory and mailbox, shown as an avatar on a shared office floor. A supervisor agent routes tasks and escalates only the calls that actually need a human.

  • It drives the subscriptions you already pay for

    You bring your own keys: it wraps the coding CLIs you already run — Claude Code, Codex and others — instead of shipping its own model, and keeps code and keys on your machine by default. A shared "MemPalace" gives every clone recall across sessions.

  • Build this weekend: an overnight review crew

    Because each clone is a real authenticated agent with git access, you can point a team at PR reviews, bug triage or docs and let them hand work between inboxes while you sleep. It's an early prototype (macOS-first, with playful Office theming), so treat it as a weekend toy that could graduate into a workflow.

  • Elsewhere: o3 leaves ChatGPT on Wednesday

    OpenAI retires o3 from ChatGPT on Aug 26, ending its 90-day sunset; if you still pick it from the model menu, move your saved prompts to a current model now. API access is unaffected.
