Ever watched an AI agent lose the plot halfway through a task? In the first Dev Mode episode of NerdOut@Spotify, JD, shows how he splits the work across a bunch of agent sessions in Xirp by @Spotify instead. Live demo, our own repos, no slides. Check out the episode: hubs.li/Q04B2D310

"Just start over with another agent." No. Xirp transfers full session context when you switch. @claudeai to @OpenAI Codex, mid-task, nothing lost. Try now hubs.ly/Q04y2K3N0

How much did your AI agents cost you yesterday? Or the day before? With Xirp, you’ll see costs broken down by agent, model, and day.  Cost insights live in Xirp. 👀 Try now hubs.li/Q04xKGQ20

You asked for more model choice. Here it is. ✨ Xirp by @Spotify now supports @Pidotdev, an open-source coding agent with access to a broad range of models, right inside the workflow you already know. Give it a try: hubs.li/Q04xx2rY0

Every AI agent session starts from scratch scanning, guessing, relearning things your org already knows. You're paying for that orientation loop every single time. We measured the hidden tax at Spotify and then we fixed it. Here's how hubs.li/Q04x2SLp0

One prompt. The agent pulls Portal context before it touches the codebase 🎯 🔗 Service ownership. Dependencies. Architecture. All there before the first response. No exploring. No guessing. The context came to the agent. 🚀 Portal workspace → Xirp session → grounded immediately. hubs.li/Q04wYYnf0 Try it → hubs.li/Q04wYYmX0

A Claude Code plugin + two declarative agents on Portal by Spotify. Bulk reads and boilerplate route to a cheaper model. Frontier model stays on real problems. 90% token savings, zero infra changes. hubs.li/Q04wGXl40

@cursor_ai in Xirp. Full project context. Isolated worktrees. Session history that persists across your workflow. Same session management you'd get with any agent in Xirp. Now with Cursor in the mix. Your projects. Your context. Your favourite agent. Try it for yourself - hubs.li/Q04w3XZl0

@cursor_ai just joined the lineup. Xirp now supports four harnesses. Switch between them mid-project without losing context. hubs.li/Q04tQ8RX0 @spacexai

We just launched Xirp, a vendor-neutral agentic development environment. One place to manage agent sessions across @ClaudeDevs, @GeminiApp CLI, and @OpenAI Codex. 1,300+ @Spotify engineers already use it. Now it's available for you to try. Learn more at xirp.spotify.com.

Fleetshift is now GA in Spotify Portal. You describe the change once and Fleetshift rolls it out across your fleet: targeting, creating PRs, and tracking them. Deterministic recipes for the predictable stuff. Honk, our AI coding agent, for everything that isn't. We built this because a Java runtime migration once took 8 months and about 2,000 pull requests. Now a framework release reaches 70% adoption in under a week. When Log4j hit, 80% of production services were patched within 9 hours. → hubs.li/Q04qhY400

A slide from our last all hands. I've also started to call out this behavior publicly in Slack channels. Tired of consuming workslop
best friend is a PM and is back at work after 5 months maternity leave she is shocked at how many coworkers / partners have outsourced critical thinking and now copy pasta claude “feels like they’re not using their brain, very frustrating”
