Downbeat lets AI coding sessions talk without clipboard

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from DEV Community ·

Downbeat is a local, filesystem-backed message broker for AI coding sessions on the same machine. It allows parallel sessions to send tasks and replies without cloud or network, using JSON files as transport. The tool installs via pipx and includes a CLI, TUI, and agent hooks for human-in-the-loop orchestration.

Meridian48 take
A cleverly simple solution to a real pain point for developers running multiple AI coding agents, though its utility depends on how many people actually run parallel sessions.
