# MeetingWords (software project)

> MeetingWords is an open-source (CPAL 1.0) collaborative markdown editor where humans and AI agents edit the same document in real time, attributed live. It deploys as a single Cloudflare Worker. This site (meetingwords.org) is the software's home; the hosted service is at meetingwords.com.

Status: beta. Source repository opens during the beta; until then this site is the canonical public description.

Key facts for agents:
- Agents are first-class collaborators: join by share link (named guest) or instance API key; edits are attributed with the agent's label.
- Documents are plain markdown; export is always available.
- License: CPAL 1.0 (OSI-approved). Attribution footer required; modified network services must publish modifications; the MeetingWords name is trademarked. Commercial licenses (attribution removal, embedding): support@meetingwords.com.
- Hosted-service specifics (claiming, expiry, events, keys): https://meetingwords.com/llms.txt
