Lobby is where your agency and your clients talk about the work. The task itself is a linked GitHub issue, so your team keeps working in GitHub and your clients never have to.

Hi Sam, a customer just told us the SPRING15 code isn't applying on the BigCommerce store. It shows in the cart but disappears on the payment step. Screenshot attached.
Thanks Maya, we've reproduced it. The code is being cleared when shipping recalculates. A fix is in progress and we'll confirm here as soon as it's live, likely this afternoon.
They start or continue a discussion in the app, or simply reply to the notification email. Attachments come along either way.
Link an existing GitHub issue or create one from the discussion. Code, commits and review stay in the kitchen. The conversation stays in the Lobby.
Time logged on the discussion counts against the budget it belongs to, so the quoted value sits next to the real cost and the margin between them.
Discussions are the heart of it. Clients, projects, budgets and time exist to organize those discussions and to tell you whether the work paid off.
Each discussion is a thread between your team and one client. Clients reply in the app or by replying to the notification email, and their message lands in the thread with any attachments: screenshots, documents, exports.
Team-only notes sit in the same thread on mustard paper. They never reach the client, not in the app and not by email.
Link an existing issue to a discussion, or create one from it. The issue body links back to the Lobby thread, and Lobby shows the issue's state, labels and assignees next to the conversation.
Your engineers work the issue where they already work. Lobby keeps the client conversation attached to it.
Clients have projects. Projects are fixed price, retainers with monthly or quarterly periods generated for you, or internal. Each project holds budgets with a quoted value, and each discussion belongs to a budget.
Time logged on discussions rolls into the budget, so you see quoted value against internal cost, the margin, and your effective hourly rate. Lobby is built for pricing on value, not for burning down hours. Clients never see time or cost.
The Concierge answers questions about your clients, projects, discussions and time from the real data: which retainers are over budget this quarter, who is waiting on a reply, what happened on a project last week.
Lobby is also an MCP server. Connect Claude Code, Codex or any other MCP client and let it read discussions, draft and post replies, log time, link or create GitHub issues and run reports, with exactly the permissions of the person whose token it uses.
