Fill in a purpose, headcount, and provider; AI drafts complementary roles and personas, you pick a lead, and the department is created with the rest of the NPCs in one click.
SIGNATURE · 2.0.0
Hand the work to a department, and let the lead decide.
A department is two or more NPCs sharing one workspace, one of them designated the lead. Create one directly with the Department Creator: fill in a purpose, headcount, and provider, and AI drafts complementary roles and personas — you just pick who leads. From then on, every time you hand off work you only write a goal and acceptance criteria; the lead decides whether to consult an expert, ask for a review, or run a full task chain.
- AI-planned departments: fill in purpose, headcount, and provider; AI drafts complementary roles and you pick a lead
- Quick Consult / Quick Review: two-step, read-only collaboration — an expert advises or reviews, the lead executes and finalizes
- Department Mission: a 2–5 step task chain that always starts with execute, with a different NPC doing each review step; failed reviews get up to two automatic correction rounds
- Only five things stop for you: plan approval, an inconclusive review, a used-up correction budget, a failed step, or a member going offline — everything else hands off automatically
- No mode ever auto-commits, pushes, merges, tags, or releases, and none of them touch your authentication

MISSION — HAND TO DEPARTMENTLIVE
NEEDS ATTENTION — YOUR DECISIONLIVE
ASSIGN — NPC 1 RECEIVED A TASKREC
SCENE 01 · ASSIGN WORK
Assign it, then watch it go to work.
Type a task and the NPC walks to the matching workstation — to read files, write code, search the web, or use the terminal. Its nameplate shows elapsed time while a speech bubble streams live output.
- Workstation = tool: where the character stands shows what the agent is using
- Completion reactions: nearby teammates celebrate success; failures produce a small storm cloud
- This is an unedited recording of a real task
APPROVAL — WAITINGLIVE
SCENE 02 · APPROVALS
See who needs you, at a glance.
When an agent wants to run a command, its NPC stops, paces with a question mark overhead, and the approval controls float right beside the character. No window switching, no digging through logs — one glance across the office tells you who's stuck.
- Three choices: deny, allow for this task, or allow once
- Three auto-approval levels: off, safe (a read-only allowlist), or full (dangerous commands still force a confirmation)
- Each NPC has independent settings
RADIAL — CONTEXT MENULIVE
SCENE 03 · RADIAL MENU
One right-click, every setting for this character.
Right-click any NPC to rename it, edit its persona, change its look, switch rooms, or safely remove it — and to ask another NPC at the same workstation for a read-only Consult or Review. For a bigger job, just create a department.
- Persistent personas: give an NPC a durable role ("You're a frontend QA — only raise issues, never touch code") injected through each CLI's native mechanism; it survives restarts
- Pixel Workshop: switch looks or upload your own animated GIF avatar
- Cross-LLM handoff: let Claude summarize its progress partway through and hand off to Codex (or the other way around)
CAMERA — PAN & ZOOMREC
SCENE 04 · CAMERA
Your office, your point of view.
Drag empty space to pan, use the wheel or the lower-left slider to zoom — always in crisp integer steps. Double-click the floor or press ⟳ to reset to the default framing.
- Zoom in to follow one NPC, or pull out to see the whole office
- Nameplates, bubbles, and approval controls move with the camera
- Tablet-friendly: one-finger pan plus a slider for zoom
SCENE 05 · TASK LOG
Every step, out in the open.
The left panel shows a task in progress: the agent explains what it's about to look up while a WebSearch tool's input and output stream in live. The right panel shows the finished result: the final reply rendered as full Markdown — lists, links, sources — plus the tool-call count and total duration.
- Two views: summary mode for the conclusion, activity mode for every tool call
- Searchable: full-text search across this NPC's task history; one-click copy for code blocks
- Desktop notifications: get a system notification when a task finishes or needs approval while you're in another window (off by default)
RUNNING — TOOL STREAMLIVE
COMPLETE — FINAL RESPONSELIVE
SHIFT CHANGE — HANDOFFLIVE
OFFICE POWER — GLOBAL USAGELIVE
SCENE 06 · HANDOFFS & ENERGY
Switch brains without dropping the work.
Running low on Codex allowance, or is this one better suited to Claude? Hand an NPC off between LLMs: the system first summarizes the current work, then hands it to a fresh session on the other model.
- Global work energy: the top bar always shows live usage for both CLIs; open it for session, weekly, and per-model reset times
- Check energy before switching: see the target LLM's live usage before handing off, so you don't run out right after switching
- Honest warnings: it lists exactly what won't carry over (tool state, pending approvals) and requires a confirmation checkbox before proceeding; works Claude ⇄ Codex in either direction
SCENE 07 · PIXEL WORKSHOP
Make your crew look the way you want.
Swap between five official crew designs, or upload your own pixel GIF — animation timing is preserved and the avatar is automatically fitted to the NPC's size in the office, walking, working, and celebrating as usual.
- Animated GIF avatars: up to 320×320 and 120 frames, looping at their original frame timing
- Safe to switch: choosing an official look never deletes your custom character — switch back anytime
- Pair it with the persona system so your "financial analyst" actually looks like one
