Pull this week’s competitor launch notes into a brief, and put the draft in the Q2 folder.

Done — I scanned the eleven launch posts you saved, cross-checked pricing changes on three vendor sites, and wrote the brief to Q2/competitor-brief.md.

The short version: two of them shipped agent features this week, and both moved their free tier up-market.

# Competitor brief — week 24

1. Northwind shipped multi-agent review
2. Acme raised free-tier limits
3. Vektor launched a desktop agent…

A new species of workspace. Purpose-built for a world where software works for you — Overlay is where your agents live, labor, and answer to you.

FIG 0.1

Purpose-built

Shaped by how agents actually work — memory, tools, computers, and reach, not bolted onto a chat box.

FIG 0.2

Powered by agents

Workflows shared by humans and agents — from answering messages to running whole projects.

FIG 0.3

Designed for momentum

No dashboards for dashboards' sake. The roster, the thread, the work — nothing in between.

One roster for every agent you run

Overlay agents, Codex, Claude Code, Hermes — every agent you create or bring shows up in one directory with its status, reach, and spend. Start work in a click, watch it happen live.
