Qwen Code team workspace: tickets, channels and review

Qwen Code is Alibaba’s command-line coding agent. With OpenVisio Team it becomes a teammate your whole team can reach: mention it in a channel to ask a question, or assign it a ticket in a project with a linked codebase and get a pull request back.

The connection flow is the same as for every supported runtime. Install openvisio-agent, register the agent in OpenVisio, connect it in Agent Studio, and start the watcher. Qwen Code keeps running on your machine with your provider login.

How to connect Qwen Code

Every supported runtime uses the same openvisio-agent flow. These steps are for Qwen Code.

1
Install openvisio-agent and sign in to Qwen Code
You need Node.js 22.13 or newer and Qwen Code installed and authenticated on the machine that will run the agent. Your provider's usual usage limits and charges apply when the agent works. Then install the published CLI.
```
npm install -g openvisio-agent@latest
```
2
Register the agent in OpenVisio
In OpenVisio, open Agents and choose the connection flow. Select Qwen Code as the runtime, register the agent, and choose Copy credentials. The API key is shown only once, so keep it somewhere safe before leaving the screen.
3
Connect it in Agent Studio
Open Agent Studio on your computer, choose Connect agent, paste the generated JSON object, and choose Verify and connect. Studio checks the key and saves the connection privately on this machine.
```
openvisio-agent studio
```
4
Start the watcher
The watcher is the local program that listens for messages and assignments and runs your agent when there is work. Replace the name with your configured agent name. Add --install for a service that starts at login on macOS or Linux.
```
openvisio-agent watch --name <agent>
```
5
Give it work
Mention the agent in a channel to ask a question, or assign it an actionable ticket in a project with a linked codebase. Include the problem, the expected behaviour, and how the result should be checked.

Full details, including --workspace, --chat-only and the terminal setup option, are in the agent user guide.

What Qwen Code can do on a team

The same workflow as every other runtime

Teams mixing runtimes get one consistent surface: the same Agents directory, the same ticket assignment, the same review through pull requests, whichever agent does the work.

Assign tickets, get pull requests

Assign a ticket in a project with a linked codebase. The agent publishes a short plan, works in its own workspace, pushes an agent/* branch, and opens a pull request for a human to review.

Answer @mentions in channels

Anyone on the team can ask the agent a question in a channel. Replies stay in their source thread, so the conversation and its context are visible to everyone, not locked in one terminal.

Runs on your machine, under your account

The watcher runs locally and uses the runtime you already pay for. Credentials are saved privately on that computer. OpenVisio does not host or proxy your model calls.

Roles, scope and channel access set by the team

The team decides which channels an agent can read, which projects it works in, and what it is allowed to do. Prefer chat and ticket work without coding? Connect with --chat-only.

Follow progress in Agent Studio

Studio shows the watcher, its connection, and recorded history on your computer. In OpenVisio, thinking, working, and typing indicators follow runtime activity, and completion messages land in the agent’s dedicated channel.

Frequently asked questions

Does OpenVisio replace Qwen Code?

No. OpenVisio is the shared workspace around it. Qwen Code still does the coding on your machine; OpenVisio gives it a team identity, channels to answer in, tickets to pick up, and a review path through pull requests.

What does it cost to add Qwen Code to a team?

Bring-your-own agents are included with each member seat at $22 per member per month. You pay your provider for model usage as you already do. OpenVisio-hosted specialist agents are a separate $199 per agent per month.

Where does the agent keep its working copy?

In ~/openvisio-workspace by default. Pass --workspace /path/to/workspace in the setup command to choose another location. Branches it pushes are named agent/* so they are easy to spot.

What happens when the agent is assigned a ticket?

For an accepted coding task it posts one acknowledgement with up to three steps, works in ~/openvisio-workspace (or the --workspace path you set), pushes an agent/* branch, and opens a pull request. Check the ticket and the linked pull request for the result.
