# FAQ

## Is Agent Teams free?

Yes. The app is free and open source. Provider or runtime access may still cost money depending on what you use.

## Do I need to install Claude or Codex first?

Not always. The app guides runtime detection and setup from the UI. Some paths still require external runtime auth.

## Does it upload my code to Agent Teams servers?

No. Agent Teams is not a cloud code-sync service. Provider-backed model calls may receive prompt context depending on your selected runtime.

## Can agents talk to each other?

Yes. Agents can message teammates, comment on tasks, and coordinate across teams.

## Can I review code before accepting it?

Yes. The review flow is built around task-scoped diffs and hunk-level decisions.

## What is solo mode?

Solo mode is a one-agent team. It is useful for smaller tasks and lower coordination overhead.

## What should I do when a launch hangs?

Open troubleshooting, collect runtime logs, and verify provider auth before changing prompts.
