Show HN: Moomacha – Zulip Native Agents Orchestrator
Moomacha is an open-source Zulip native agents orchestrator, described as an open source version of Claude Tag. It allows orchestration of AI agents directly within the Zulip messaging platform.
Background
- Moomacha is an open-source "native agents orchestrator" for Zulip, a popular open-source team chat platform (similar to Slack or Mattermost). It lets you run AI agents directly inside Zulip conversations.
- Zulip is known for its topic-based threading model, which makes it well-suited for managing multiple parallel agent conversations without mixing contexts.
- "Claude Tags" is a feature from Anthropic's Claude AI that lets users invoke specialized AI agents by mentioning them with @-tags in a chat interface (e.g., @finance-bot). Moomacha replicates this pattern in Zulip.
- The project is for developers and teams who want to build custom AI assistants (agents) that can be called on-demand within their existing Zulip workspace, rather than using a separate platform or chatbot framework.
- Being "open source" means the code is freely available to inspect, modify, and self-host, appealing to organizations with privacy or customization needs.
