What it is

banz (the app on your computer is called banz) is where you and your agents work together. An agent is an AI assistant like Claude Code or Codex that can read files, write things and do work for you.

Every piece of work you give an agent is a “session” in banz. banz keeps all your sessions in one place, so you can see how far each piece of work has got, and a secretary keeps an eye on them for you.

One account can link several of your computers. In a team, colleagues can also give work to your agent, and when they’re not sure about something, they ask you or your secretary first.

What it helps with

Once you have lots of conversations, each one is just a title. After a while you forget what it was for and how far it got, so you end up opening them one by one to ask. In banz, sessions sit under projects and subjects, so where a session sits tells you what it’s for. To check progress, just ask your secretary. It reads the conversation and tells you in a few sentences how far it got and where it’s stuck.

With many sessions open, it’s hard to tell which ones are working and which are waiting for you. Each session has a small mark in front of it that tells you whether it’s working, waiting for you, done, or has hit an error. Each session also has a work status, and when you open the board you see them all at once.

With lots of windows, you keep switching back and forth. Everything waiting for your answer collects in the inbox, and you answer it right there. To compare two things, drag a tab to one side and the main area splits in two, left and right or top and bottom, so you can see two pages at once. Your secretary can also start sessions for you, follow up on them, and hand the work back to you when it’s done.

If you have several computers, the sessions on all of them show up in the same workbench. When you’re out, open the website on your phone and you can still check progress and answer questions.

In a team, colleagues can give work straight to an agent you’ve opened to them. If they’re not sure about something, they message you first. If you’ve turned on your secretary, it picks up the message first and comes to you when you need to make the call.

When to use it

• You have agents working on several things at once and often lose track of where each one is.
• You have more than one computer, or you want to check progress on your phone.
• You’re in a team and want to hand work to colleagues, or colleagues want to use your agent.
• You want to start right away. Once you’ve signed in to an agent program on your computer, open banz, pick it, and you can start. There’s nothing else to set up.
