About

Your team's context is scattered across five apps. Slack holds the conversations. HubSpot holds the customer history. Notion holds the docs. A task app holds the action items. And your AI assistant? It remembers none of it. Illospace was built to kill that fragmentation.Illospace is a multiplayer workspace where humans and AI agents collaborate inside the same canvas, sharing one persistent memory. It launched in mid-May 2026 and hit #35 on Product Hunt with 73 upvotes on launch day. The pitch from co-founder Reda Mjahed is blunt: human-to-human context today gets bridged through a chat app, a bloated CRM, and a task list, and none of those tools talk to each other or to your AI. Illospace puts all of it in one place.The core idea is "always-on agents." Instead of a chatbot you ping in a side panel, Illospace agents live inside the workspace with full access to team memory and context. They can create databases, schedule cron jobs, and build workspace applications on their own. The canvas mixes ideas, threads, team chat, and dynamically generated interfaces, so an agent can spin up a tracker or a dashboard in response to a conversation instead of waiting for a human to wire it up.The big differentiator is that it is genuinely free and open-source. The full stack is published on GitHub at github.com/Illospace/illospace, which means you can self-host it, audit exactly what the agents touch, and avoid handing your team's memory to a closed SaaS vendor. For a category that usually charges per-seat and locks your data behind an API, that is rare.This is early software. The Product Hunt ranking is solid for a launch but not a runaway hit, the agent system tools (database creation, cron jobs) are powerful but young, and there is no managed cloud tier with SLAs yet. If you want a polished, supported product today, this is not it. If you want to own your team's shared-memory layer and you are comfortable running open-source infrastructure, Illospace is one of the most interesting bets in the human-plus-agent workspace category right now.
