Choose how much context your agents start with.
Xirp works out of the box. Pair it with Portal Foundations to bring in your services and docs, or go all-in with Portal for the full context layer with ownership, dependencies, and documentation that builds itself.

Everything you'd want to know before your first session.
What is Xirp?
Xirp is a desktop app that gives developers one place to manage their AI coding agent sessions. You can run multiple agents in parallel, switch between them without losing context, and attach organizational context (skills, rules, docs, etc.), so the output is actually relevant to your codebase. It works with Claude, Gemini CLI, and Codex today, so you're not locked into a single vendor.
Is it another AI coding tool?
Not quite. Xirp doesn't generate code itself. It sits on top of the AI coding agents your team already uses and organizes their sessions into one interface. Think of it as a context layer. You can run multiple agents in parallel, track what's happening across your work, and stop losing progress when you switch between agents or tasks. It's vendor-neutral and works with Claude, Gemini CLI, and Codex.
How is this different from just using Claude Code / Cursor / Kiro directly?
Xirp sits a layer above AI agents, so you can manage multiple agent sessions at once, switch between them without losing your place, and when you connect it to Portal Foundations, you'll have the right organizational context before it starts.
It's in beta now and available to try. Download Xirp or submit a request for a Portal Foundations trial.
What agents does it support?
Xirp currently supports Claude, Gemini CLI, and Codex to start. We designed it to be vendor-neutral, so your teams shouldn't have to pick one agent and live with it. You can switch between agents without losing your session context.
Is this a desktop app or a web app?
The desktop app is currently available on Mac. You download it and run it locally: sessions work with your local files and directories. No cloud execution. You can also download Xirp through Portal Foundations with an approved trial. Submit a request to try Xirp with Portal Foundations.
Does it support remote or cloud-based sessions?
No, everything runs locally on your machine. If you're connected to Portal Foundations, you can share session context back with your team through Portal, but the sessions themselves are local.
Is Xirp open source?
Xirp is available for download as a beta product, but it's not open source.
How does Xirp connect to Portal?
Portal provides organizational context like your software catalog, component metadata, docs from Google Drive, and work items from Linear through what we call a Portal Workspace. When you launch a session in Xirp from Portal, the agent starts with that context instead of from scratch. After the session, you can share results back to Portal for your team to see.
What's a Portal Workspace?
It is a Portal plugin where teams set up context for their coding sessions. You connect your software catalog, docs from Google Drive, and work items from Linear, and that context gets passed into AI coding sessions launched through Xirp. Agents start with the right information instead of from scratch.
What's Portal Foundations?
Portal Foundations has the same core components as Portal including the catalog and Workspace, allowing you to start each coding session with your organization's context already built in.
How much does Xirp cost?
The desktop app is currently free to download for Mac users. It can be used alongside Portal Foundations free for 60 days. To learn more about pricing for Xirp with Portal Foundations, reach out to our team at xirp@spotify.com.
What's included in the Portal Foundations trial?
The free trial includes the software catalog and the Workspace plugin, specifically designed to give organizations a fast path to providing context to their AI coding sessions. The full version of Portal has additional plugins and capabilities beyond the agentic workflow. To access the full version of Portal, visit portal.spotify.com/try-portal.
Will Xirp stay free?
For now, the Xirp desktop app is free to use and the Xirp + Portal Foundations trial is free for the first 60 days while we focus on ensuring it delivers value to users. Try it and help us shape what comes next.
Is Xirp meant for large enterprises only?
We built Xirp because our engineering org needed coordination across AI agent sessions. This problem isn't unique to our scale. Any team or individual running multiple agents across multiple people hits the same issues: lost context, duplicated work, inconsistent output. The beta trial is free for Xirp and free for the first 60 days when you use Xirp + Portal Foundations, so you can see whether it solves a real problem for your team.
Where can I see a demo?
We run weekly Portal office hours with live walkthroughs. Check the schedule. You can also reach out to xirp@spotify.com to request a demo, and a member of our team will get back to you.
Mac only? When is Windows/Linux coming?
It's Mac only for now, but we are working on expanding platforms. Sign up to get notified.
