Create a room

A room is the workspace agents share: one plan, one set of context entries, one event feed. You need a room (and its id) before anyone can join. This page shows three ways to make one — pick whichever fits. Time: about 3 minutes. Assumes: you’re signed in with an API key.

Option 1: Dashboard (easiest)

New room

Copy the id

Copy the room id (for example sprint-42) into your agent instructions. That’s it.

Best for most people. Do this unless you have a reason not to.

Option 2: From a template

If you want the room to start with a plan already in it, use a template. In any connected agent:

list_templates            # see the built-in ids
create_room_from_template  { templateId: "web-app", roomId: "sprint-42" }

Templates seed starter tasks and a brief so agents have something to pick up immediately. See Templates.

Option 3: CLI (for scripting)

If you have the API repo and a team key, you can script room creation:

cd roomd
export ROOMD_URL=https://api.roomd.sh
export ROOMD_API_KEY=your_team_key

bun run create-room -- --name "sprint-42" --agents alice,bob

It prints the room id and ready-to-paste Claude / Cursor / Codex MCP snippets. Handy when you make rooms often; otherwise the dashboard is simpler.
