Run several Claude Code agents in parallel in VS Code — and conduct them by voice
Run multiple Claude Code CLI sessions side by side in VS Code, switch between them by voice, and keep them aligned with one shared on-device memory.
Pairing with a single AI is already old news. The way you actually ship now is with a team of agents — one refactoring the API, one writing tests, one chasing a bug — all at once. The problem is that running several agent sessions is a tab-juggling, keyboard-bound mess, and your attention is the bottleneck.
Verbative makes your voice the conductor. Instead of living inside one chat window, you run the whole room.
Talk to any agent, hands-free — just say the word
Group your Claude Code CLI sessions into channels — a channel per project, feature, or area — and run several agents in parallel inside each one. Whatever you say goes to whichever agent has focus, so switching who you're talking to is a single click or a spoken command — not a hunt through windows.
The multiplier: every channel shares one on-device memory. A decision one agent makes is recalled by all the others — so the team never re-explains context to itself, and you never re-explain it to the team.
Each channel runs its own Claude agents in parallel. Your voice goes to the selected agent.

One window: the Verbative panel on the left, each agent as a native chat on the right — streamed replies, tool cards, and permission prompts you answer with a click or your voice.
The vibe-coding toolkit
Around the agents sits everything that keeps you in flow without a keyboard:
- Mechanics — turn the commands you run a hundred times a day (spin up the dev server, kick off a build, open a browser) into one-click buttons, each running in its own real terminal.
- Verbative Shot — one shortcut drags any region of your screen straight to your agent; keep dragging to stack several into a single paste. A design to build, a render that looks wrong, an architecture sketch to scaffold from.
- Spoken status, spoken control — say "update" for a status check while an agent works, and "stop claude" to abort a run. Replies and summaries are read back to you.
- ~99 languages, on-device — dictate in your native language; it's transcribed and translated to English locally with whisper.cpp before it ever reaches an agent.
- A review board when you want one — optionally send a design idea to a customizable board of domain advisors that weigh in, in parallel, before you build. Off unless you turn it on.
All local, all yours
Wake-word detection and dictation run on your own machine; the voices are local too. It runs on your existing Claude Pro or Max subscription through the Claude Code CLI — no API key, no SDK. Your audio never leaves your machine.
It adds up to a command center for vibe-coding: a whole team of agents, conducted by your voice.
Frequently asked
Can I run several Claude Code sessions in parallel in VS Code?
Yes. Verbative's Agent Workspace runs each Claude Code CLI session in its own terminal tile inside VS Code and groups them into channels, one per project, feature or area, with several agents per channel. The pricing page lists how many channels and agents each plan includes.
How do I switch between agents by voice?
Say the agent you want, by name or by its number, and whatever you say next goes to that agent. Each agent has its own status bar that shows when it is working, and spoken replies are attributed to the agent that answered when more than one is active.
Do the agents share a memory?
Yes, with Verbative Memory, which is part of Code Advanced and comes with a 14-day trial. Every channel shares one on-device memory, so a decision one agent records is recalled by the others, and the memory lives as readable files in your repository.
Does the Agent Workspace work on Windows?
Yes. Channels, the per-agent terminals and their status bars run on Windows 10 and 11 as well as macOS, inside VS Code.
