AgentRoom: Desktop app visualizes AI coding agents as pixel characters with session search

AgentRoom is a desktop application that visualizes AI coding agent sessions as animated pixel characters in a virtual office environment. Built to solve the problem of tracking multiple concurrent agent sessions, it provides real-time visualization and search capabilities for developers using Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini.

Core Features

The application creates animated pixel characters for each active agent session:

• Active agents sit at desks in the Work Room
• Idle agents walk to the Break Room
• Characters animate based on agent activity (typing, reading, or idling)

Session Management

AgentRoom includes comprehensive session management tools:

• Full-text and semantic search across ALL agent sessions
• Search powered by CASS, a Rust search engine that indexes 11+ agent types
• Click any session to read the transcript
• "Open in iTerm2" option to resume sessions instantly
• Token usage dashboard showing real-time spend across providers

Standalone Claude Code Skill

Even without the desktop app, developers can use the included Claude Code skill:

• Drop-in installation to ~/.claude/skills/
• Search past sessions from any conversation using natural language queries
• Example queries from the source: "find my session about authentication middleware" or "what did I discuss with gemini about rate limiting?"
• Returns results with ready-to-paste resume commands

Technical Implementation

The application is built with:

• Tauri v2 + React + Canvas 2D for the frontend
• CASS (Rust search engine) for the backend
• Search backend compiles to a single 27MB binary
• Everything runs locally with no API calls for search

The tool addresses a specific pain point for developers running multiple AI coding agent sessions simultaneously, providing both visualization and practical session management capabilities.
