The Model Hop

When one model can't. Maybe another can.

Every developer knows the dance: AI gets stuck, copy everything, paste into a different model, lose half your context, start over. HokiPoki keeps you in the same terminal, same context, different brain. One command to hop. Works solo with your own models, or invite teammates to share theirs. Named after a children's dance because good tools don't take themselves too seriously.

The HokiPoki Anthem
♫ You put your MODEL in... ♫ You pull your PROMPT out... ♫ You share it ALL AROUND... ♫ That's what it's ALL ABOUT!

How It Works

One command. Different model. Same context. No copy-paste.

Supported CLI Tools

  • Claude Code CLI
  • Gemini CLI
  • Codex CLI
  • More upcoming...

The Setup

  • Solo with your models, or pooled with your team's
  • Your workspace, your rules
  • API keys never leave your machine
  • Everything stays encrypted, everything stays ephemeral

How It Actually Works

Your models. Your team's models. One terminal.

The Full HokiPoki Dance

A children's song about hopping between AI models. We're serious.

  • ♫ You put your MODEL in, you pull another out, you hop between your AIs when one figures nothing out!
  • ♫ You keep the same CONTEXT, just switch the thinking part, no copy-paste between terminals like some kind of ancient art!
  • ♫ You invite your TEAMMATES, they bring their models too, everyone shares everything but the APIs stay with you!
  • ♫ The relay routes your PROBLEMS, P2P brings solutions back, encrypted and ephemeral on the collaboration track!
  • ♫ You do the HOKIPOKI and you code your way about—THAT'S WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT!

What Actually Happens

Four things. Nothing revolutionary. Just useful.

Connect Your Models

Register your AI CLIs. They're now hoppable.

Invite Your Team

Optional. Share access to models without sharing API keys.

Hop When Stuck

One command. Same problem, different model. Context preserved.

Keep Coding

No tabs. No copying. No context loss. Just progress.

Three Ways to Dance

Solo, duet, or full ensemble.

Solo Performance

Your models. Your problems. Hop between them as needed.

Team Duet

You have one model. They have another. Share access, not keys.

Full Ensemble

Whole team pools models. Everyone accesses everything. Workspaces keep it organized.

The Technical Dance

How we keep your moves secure.

Workspace Control

Your private space. Invite who you want. Revoke anytime.

Relay Orchestration

Routes tasks to the right model. Central brain, distributed execution.

P2P Execution

Team member's models run on their machines. Results come back encrypted.

Ephemeral Everything

Git repos exist per-task. Then vanish. No traces, no cleanup.

SWITCH MODELS, NOT TABS

When your AI gets stuck, reach for a different one. Same terminal, different perspective. Stay in flow, solve the problem.
