How I Share a Live AI Agent Session With My Teammates
Description and use
By selecting the appropriate sharing tool, teams can watch agent runs live, intervene when necessary, preserve context across takeovers, and enforce secure access, reducing reconstruction time and improving collaboration.
Problem
Team members need to observe and intervene in long-running AI agent sessions, but existing tools either lack live visibility, takeover capability, context preservation, or secure access control.
Outcome
By selecting the appropriate sharing tool, teams can watch agent runs live, intervene when necessary, preserve context across takeovers, and enforce secure access, reducing reconstruction time and improving collaboration.
Workflow
- 1. Identify the sharing need (debugging, monitoring, governance).
- 2. Choose a tool: terminal sharing for quick pair‑debugging, vendor dashboard for single‑vendor teams, or cross‑agent platform for multi‑vendor environments.
- 3. Configure the tool: install tmate or sshx, or enable sharing in the vendor UI, or set up a workspace in Multica/Linear/Sharkly.
- 4. Share the link or invite teammates.
- 5. Teammates watch the live terminal or session view.
- 6. If intervention is needed, the teammate takes over via the tool’s takeover feature, preserving context where supported.
- 7. Continue the run or hand back control to the original agent.
Evidence
A teammate who happened to be online could see a branch name in the commit list and nothing else — not what the agent was trying, not whether it was stuck or grinding, and no way to nudge it back on course.
I ran both on a Linux box with an agent‑style job in the session. sshx worked exactly as advertised: I opened the viewer link in a browser, watched the session live, and a second pane could be opened by anyone with the link.
The honest limitation of this whole group is the word native. Each one shares sessions for its own agent.
