Every few weeks Pi hits #1 here and I quietly grumble "mine does that too, but with lovely graphics.", so I'm saying it out loud: <a href="https://github.com/juggler-ai/juggler" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/juggler-ai/juggler
Like Pi, it's plugins all the way down, provider-agnostic, minimal system prompts, threaded sub-agents, code-mode, multi-client remote sessions, worktrees, a context window you can actually see and edit, etc etc
Where Pi is way ahead is the plugin ecosystem, and that takes people, which is hard to get amid the current deluge of agent action. So if there's any spare oxygen trailing off this thread, I'd love any Pi-heads who fancy a bit of GUI action to come and kick the tyres..
My personal quiet grumbling is that everyone got on the TUI bandwagon without any rational reason. I find it borderline psychotic. Or maybe humans are much more like sheep than we care to admit: we just follow the flock into the (UI) ravine. So your GUI is a nice escape.
I live in an office when I'm at work. Doesn't mean it's a great experience.
I love the terminal for terminal things. I'm not convinced agenetic coding is best implemented in a terminal - for it to work well, you're basically reinventing a toolkit wheel. Why not just use a nice graphical toolkit? It feels a bit like the current trend for pixelated graphics - both retro and worse.

I hardly use anything aside from neovim and a browser. (okay corporate Mattermost fork and video terminal too).
For me switching between different cli\tui tools feels like a continuation of whatever I was doing, while going to something GUIsh is not.
And to be honest: what do you even need from a harness\agent for it to have a gui?
