Shared Cloud Sessions

A cloud feature that lets multiple people join the same AI agent task together, picking up its progress and context to collaborate

In plain words

Shared Cloud Sessions let multiple people join the same AI agent's work screen, see the progress made so far, and continue giving it instructions. It's similar to several people gathering around the same whiteboard for a meeting: if one person has assigned a coding task to an agent, a teammate can join that task and see exactly what's been done, how far it's progressed, and what plan was made, then pick up right where it left off. Instead of explaining the situation from scratch, they inherit the entire context at once.

Instead of everyone running separate tasks on their own computers, this setup has team members connecting together to a single workspace in the cloud. Because of this, it's used when a company wants to split one large task among several people, or to keep the workflow from breaking when the person in charge changes. Sensitive credentials, like login information, are designed to be passed only partway through the process and never forwarded to the remote server that actually executes the task.

How it shows up in the news

In articles, it comes up in statements like "the OpenClaw Foundation actually uses this feature internally on its team to build OpenClaw itself." A common misunderstanding is that this isn't like a video call where people edit the same screen simultaneously — it's a feature that lets teammates view and pick up the progress, plan, and output of a single agent session together.
