Description
Workplane is a browser-based workspace designed for both humans and AI agents.HTML, Markdown, and other files are rendered directly in the browser, support comments, are versioned automatically, and can be shared with teammates or clients.MCP-compatible tools like Claude Desktop, Claude Code, and OpenClaw can access shared folders, read and edit files, generate artifacts, and collaborate on the same workspace as your team.Would love feedback from people sharing files with AI tools.

Could you build this?
Yes Workplane provides a web-based file viewer/commenting UI with a public API/MCP endpoint for AI agents to upload artifacts and versions, which fits standard full-stack web application architectures.
Discussion
5 comments analyzed.
Concerns raised: No org-level sharing or domain/SSO support yet, Unclear human-agent handoff model and blocking behavior, Lack of provenance tracking for agent runs vs human edits, Conflict resolution when multiple users and agents edit simultaneously
Feature requests: Organization-wide sharing and SSO/domain membership, Clear provenance history (agent run, prompt, context attribution), Conflict representation for concurrent multi-user/agent edits
