The Termi Protocol is a 3D simulation of AI agent workflows. Give your coding agents a face, a desk and a living room. Watch them read, write and run commands live in 3D, like a game. You run the agents; we visualize the process.
Hi Product Hunt 👋
I built The Termi Protocol because I run coding agents all day, and staring at scrolling terminal logs never really showed me what they were actually doing.
So I gave them a body.
Termi is a 3D room where your real CLI agents like Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, and five more live and work. You can watch each one walk to its desk, read files, write code, and run commands as a little robot in real time.
It is not a chat app. It is not an IDE. You keep using the agents you already use. Termi simply turns the whole process into something you can see, steer, and control.
A few things I am proud of:
Claude and Codex can work on the same repo. File locks keep them from colliding, and an idle agent can pick up a peer’s work.
Checkpoints let you rewind any step, almost like time travel for your code.
On-device memory remembers what each agent did and why. It is fully searchable and does not need an API key.
Nothing risky happens without your one-tap approval.
And yes, there is a pet that grows with your coding days.
Termi runs on macOS and Windows. It is local-first, pay once, and yours for life. Founding backers get it for $6.99.
I would love your honest feedback, especially on the watch-it-work experience.
Happy to answer anything in the comments. 🙏
Hello Eric. Congrats on the launch, very fun idea! How exactly can I control the agents if I just see them in 3D? These checkpoints are saved in local cache or inside the Termi server? Thanks let's connect :)!
Exactly the answer I was hoping for — attaching to running sessions and keeping the render local is what makes it usable day to day. On the attach mechanism: does Termi tap the session by reading the PTY/terminal output, or hook into the agent process directly? And if I have two or three agents going at once (say Claude Code plus Codex), do they share one room or spawn separate ones?
Congrats on the launch. The local-first angle is the part I’d trust most here. For AI coding agents, visibility is useful only if it helps me make a decision: pause, approve, rewind, or compare what two agents changed.
One small suggestion: make the “why this step happened” trail as important as the 3D view. Commands run, files touched, checkpoint reason, and approval history would turn this from a fun visualization into a review tool I could actually rely on.
The idea is really fun! Now I wonder - how deep it is connected with real activity of agents. Will it help to get visual signal that something is going wrong and can user control agents through those 3D models, or they are working only one side, just visualising the process?
That's interesting. Does it work with any agent that exposes terminal output, or only specific ones?
Giving agents a desk and a living room is delightfully absurd and weirdly useful at the same time - watching the process beats reading a wall of logs for spotting when an agent gets stuck in a loop. I live in Claude Code all day, so yes, I want to see my agent pacing around its office. Congrats on the launch!
Congrats with a launch!
So we're not all confused here, it's just a fun project, you are not suggesting it as a serious workflow, right?
watching agents work in 3d is genuinely fun. i stared at agent logs for years and they never showed intent. does the view hint at why, not just what?
Very creative. I'm curious does visualizing the workflow actually help you catch bugs or inefficiencies that you'd normally miss in terminal logs?
the living room touch is genuinely clever, makes coding sessions feel less sterile than the usual terminal wall. nice execution on making agent work feel like something you'd actually want to watch.
Giving CLI agents a literal body in a 3D room is a clever way to make what Claude Code / Codex are actually doing legible instead of scrolling terminal logs. The practical thing I'd want to know: does Termi attach to my existing agent sessions (reading the terminal/process I already have running), or does it need to launch and wrap the agents itself? And does the visualization run fully local, or does it stream my file/command activity to a hosted backend to render the room?
the little office setup is weirdly charming, watching my agent pace around the room while it ran tests actually made debugging feel less painful. would love a way to peek at the full command output without losing the 3d view though

Who hunted Termi Protocol?
Termi Protocol was hunted by Eric Omer Ercan. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
