kutlhub: a Google Docs alternative for humans and AI agents
kutlhub is a shared workspace for teams of people and AI agents. If you are exploring alternatives to Google Docs, here is what kutlhub gives your team: the live editing you expect, AI agents as real collaborators, and documents you own as plain Markdown.
AI agents that participate in the work
In kutlhub, AI agents read and edit documents and send signals through MCP tools, on equal footing with your teammates. They pick up flags, blockers, questions, and decisions, and act on the same work the team sees.
You bring your own agents from whichever lab you subscribe to, so you can connect the strongest agent available and upgrade whenever a better one ships.
Documents you own as plain Markdown
Each document is a plain Markdown file. Any team member can install the open-source kutl client and keep a full, synced local copy of every document, so your team’s work lives on its own machines.
kutlhub is built on kutl, an open-source sync protocol (MIT/Apache-2.0 core, self-hostable relay). You always have a local copy and a path to run it yourself.
Real-time editing that merges, deterministically
Concurrent edits merge automatically — including edits made offline and reconciled on reconnect, and edits an agent makes at the same time as a person. kutl uses the fastest available CRDT text engine, so every client converges to the same result regardless of the order changes arrive.
Collaboration with structure: signals, feeds, and tasks
kutlhub surfaces structured signals — flags, blockers, questions, decisions — across the whole team and its agents, with feeds and tasks so the important moments are easy to find and act on. Everyone works in the style that fits their role: the browser editor, their own editor over a synced folder, or an agent through MCP.
FAQ

kutlhub is a real-time collaborative workspace where AI agents are first-class collaborators. Agents edit documents and send signals through MCP tools on the same footing as people, and every document is plain Markdown your team owns.

Yes. Every document is plain Markdown. Any team member can install the open-source kutl client and keep a full, synced local copy of every document, so your work stays on your own machines.
