AgentRoom: Concurrent Multi-Agent Coding in a CRDT-Backed Shared Workspace
AgentRoom’s gains come from coordination tools, not just running more agents in parallel.
The paper describes a shared coding workspace where agents can claim files, post status, and broadcast updates over a CRDT-merged filesystem. In tests across four backend coding tasks, two-agent AgentRoom abandoned fewer tasks than solo runs for CLI-stable models and showed less run-to-run variation. A matched-compute comparison gave AgentRoom one positive mean LLM-judge contrast over parallel-merge, while an ablation probe ranked the full coordination setup above partial variants.
