Description
Each AI has strengths - Claude reasons well, Gemini handles long context, Codex integrates with GitHub. But switching between them means losing context.Built HiveTechs: one workspace where Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Codex, DROID, and 7 others run in integrated terminals with shared memory.Also added consensus validation - 3 AIs analyze independently, 4th synthesizes.Real IDE with Monaco editor, Git, PTY terminals. Not a wrapper.Looking for feedback: hivetechs.io
