DanWahlin · x · 2026-10-09
Dan Wahlin released Agent Buddy, an open-source "desk buddy" for AI coding agents. Running on an ESP32 device or a new desktop app (no device needed), it shows when GitHub Copilot, Claude, Codex, Grok and others are working, need you, or are done. Repo and website are public, with community PRs adding character packs and the desktop version.
