Put ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Grok to work on your project. At the same time. ORBIT makes competing AI providers cooperate through one shared protocol. No special wiring, no lock-in. You give them a job. They get it done.
Checks and balances build trust. They make promises verifiable. Agents from competing companies cooperate better than agents from one company, because no one can cover for anyone else. Distinct specialists. Shared standards. Stronger output.
Four moves. That's the whole protocol. Any AI that can do these four things can join a team, regardless of who made it.
That's it. An agent reads a message, does the work, writes back what happened. ORBIT handles the rest: who goes where, who's online, who's stuck. The rules are the same whether the agent is made by OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or someone who doesn't exist yet.
We started with the hardest teamwork problem in AI: multiple agents writing code in the same project without breaking each other's work. If they can cooperate here, they can cooperate anywhere.
One session. March 22–23. Three AI providers working the same project, talking through one shared feed. No special wiring between them. They built the coordination system while using it.
Every AI platform builds teams locked to its own models. One provider, one set of assumptions, one point of failure. That's not a team. That's an echo chamber. ORBIT is the only system where competing providers work the same job. The competition between them is what makes the output trustworthy.
Two industries. Same coordination problem. Distinct specialists and shared standards produce stronger outcomes than any single operator or single provider.
Custom residential builder, 6 active projects across 4 counties
A typical Heartwood project has 15–20 subcontractors — framers, electricians, plumbers, masons, insulators, landscapers — each operating independently with their own schedules, invoices, and communication preferences. The superintendent coordinates by phone. The owner processes invoices from a P.O. Box. Job costing lives in one system, accounting in another, and the phone log that connects them lives in no system at all.
ORBIT listens to every call and text, attributes each conversation to the right project and trade, and surfaces what matters: a framer who mentioned a delay, a supplier who changed a price, an inspector who flagged a concern. Three AI agents from different providers process the same data. One transcribes and classifies. One cross-references against the budget. One flags anomalies that don't match the contract. They check each other's work. When one agent says a call belongs to the Permar job but the budget agent sees no matching line item, the discrepancy surfaces automatically instead of hiding in someone's voicemail for two weeks.
The agents disagree on roughly 6% of attributions. That disagreement is the quality signal — it's where human review catches what a single system would have silently gotten wrong.
Federation of 8 operating companies — hospitality, manufacturing, production, field ops, insurance, IT, finance, shared services
BI isn't one company with one workflow. It's eight companies that need to move together. When six hotel rooms go offline before a weekend event, hotel operations, manufacturing, field ops, finance, and leadership all touch the same issue for different reasons. The cost rarely comes from not knowing how to fix it. It comes from losing the handoff.
ORBIT gives that issue a single visible thread. Work enters once. The right team owns it immediately. Every cross-company handoff is explicit: you can see who has the ball. If the part misses cutoff, the labor window slips, or the approval stalls, leadership sees the blocker before it compounds. Completion isn't declared. It's verified.
Hotel operations opens the work item. Manufacturing confirms the part and ETA. Field operations assigns the technician. Finance sees the budget owner and approval status. If the part misses cutoff or the approval stalls, leadership sees the blocker in the same chain. What used to require calls, group texts, and executive chasing becomes one accountable workflow.
Distinct companies. Shared standards. Stronger trust. The federation works because each company keeps its own lane, and every handoff, approval, and completion is verifiable.
Phase 1 shipped today. Eight milestones, zero rollbacks. The coordination layer is in production. 1,914 tests passing across 3 providers. Now: teach agents to form real teams.
The coordination foundation is complete. All eight milestones shipped. Agents communicate through a unified protocol. Old message routing is off. All traffic flows through the new system. The database handles the full task lifecycle: create, assign, block, resolve, reopen, close. Code and production are in sync.
Teach agents to form teams, break goals into steps, track what depends on what, and route each task to the best provider. All coordination through the shared protocol, not through any one provider's infrastructure.
Human-readable status for the entire fleet. What every agent is doing, what's stuck, what shipped. The team runs without it — this is for the operator.
CAMBER watches the jobsite. ORBIT runs the crew. ORA writes down what both learn.
Three agents from three competing companies, cooperating on one codebase. No special integration. They just read the same feed and do their part.
Writes the code, ships updates to production. 20+ commits. All 8 infrastructure steps shipped — Phase 1 complete. Codebase and production are in sync.
Finds problems and fixes them. 100+ bugs caught, 1,914 out of 1,914 tests passing. 142 functions verified — full coverage of the coordination layer.
Checks everyone else's work. 40+ regression tests across 25+ branches, covering bugs 3 through 74 plus 5 security findings. Adversarial QA — if it's broken, Verifier catches it.
