You already pay for the models

Claude, Codex, Grok, Cursor — 8staff is not another subscription. It is the office they come to work in.

Most people who need a staff already pay for one. Sometimes two. Sometimes four: Claude for the long brief, Codex for the build, Grok for the fast pass, Cursor for the agent they already trust. The waste is not the bill. The waste is that none of them have a desk.

Each lives in its own window, with its own amnesia. You become the switchboard. 8staff is the other way around: the models come to work here.

Sign in as the vendor built it

You connect Claude, Codex, Grok, or Cursor inside 8staff. OAuth as they designed it. The 8code app is not required. Nothing is proxied. No borrowed tokens. A login stays on this machine.

That is not a slogan. It is the difference between “we run the model for you” and “you already hired the model; we gave it a job.”

One floor, several brains

Scout can research on Claude. Maker can build on Codex. Closer can write on Grok. Or they share one login — your choice. The roster does not change when the model does. The job does not fall on the floor when you switch.

  • You bring the subscription.
  • 8staff does not markup tokens.
  • There is no 8staff model plan to upsell you.

If Gemini, Copilot, or Kimi is already signed in on this machine, it can take a desk too. The front door is still Claude, Codex, Grok, and Cursor.

Staff the night shift.
