Termi Protocol

The control room for your AI coding agents

Overview

Termi Protocol solves a real problem for anyone running several AI coding agents at once: a scrolling terminal makes it genuinely hard to notice when one agent has quietly gotten stuck in a loop or hit an error buried in a wall of text. Termi represents each connected agent, Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, and others, as a small character in a 3D room, walking to its desk and visibly reading files, writing code, or running commands. It attaches directly to sessions you already have open rather than requiring you to relaunch agents through a wrapper, and everything renders and stores locally, so your code and command activity never touch a hosted backend.

The pricing is unusual for an AI tool right now: a single $6.99 one-time payment for lifetime access as a founding backer, no subscription. That's a very low bar to try it, and the local-first, bring-your-own-keys design is a genuine privacy plus compared to cloud dashboards that log agent activity. It's a novelty-adjacent product though, the 3D visualization is fun and can make stalled agents easier to spot at a glance, but it doesn't change what the agents themselves can do, and it's a new, small product without much of a track record yet on stability across long sessions or many agents running simultaneously.

Key Features

  • 3D Agent Visualization: Watch each connected coding agent represented as a character walking to its desk to read, write, and run commands.

  • Live Session Attachment: Connects to CLI agent sessions you already have running, no restart or extra wrapper process needed.

  • Local-First: Runs fully on your own machine, file activity and agent workflow are never sent to a hosted backend.

  • Checkpoints: Rewind any step in an agent's work, effectively time travel for reviewing or undoing changes.

  • On-Device Memory: Keeps track of what each agent did and why, without sending that history off your machine.

Pricing

Starting price

$6.99 one time (founding backer lifetime pass)

  • Founding Backer Lifetime Pass: $6.99 one time. Unlimited local use, no subscription, runs on macOS and Windows.

Disclaimer: pricing may change, confirm on Termi Protocol's own site before buying, as the founding backer rate may be temporary.

Pros

  • Extremely Cheap: $6.99 one time for lifetime access, with no subscription.

  • Fully Local: No agent activity or code leaves your machine, a genuine privacy advantage over cloud dashboards.

  • Makes Stalled Agents Visible: The visual layer surfaces stuck or looping agents faster than scanning raw terminal logs.

  • No Workflow Change Required: Attaches to existing agent sessions instead of forcing you into a new wrapper or interface.

Cons

  • Very New, Unproven At Scale: Just launched, so there's little track record on stability with many agents or long-running sessions.

  • Novelty Risk: The 3D visualization is eye-catching, but it's a monitoring layer, not a productivity feature that changes what your agents can do.

  • Founding Price May Not Last: The $6.99 lifetime rate is explicitly framed as a founding backer offer, future pricing after this period isn't published.

  • Desktop Only: Limited to macOS and Windows, no browser or mobile option.

What Makes It Unique

  • Local 3D Visualization Of Real Agent Sessions: Attaches to your actual running coding agents and renders their activity as characters in a 3D room entirely on-device, rather than a cloud dashboard summarizing logs after the fact.

Manus

A general-purpose AI agent that goes off and does the task for you

Manus is an autonomous AI agent that takes a task like researching a topic, building a spreadsheet, or writing code, and works through it on its own, browsing the web and running tools as needed, then hands back a finished result. It's less a chatbot and more a virtual assistant you assign work to. It runs on a credit system, so cost tracks how much work each task actually takes rather than a flat seat price.

An AI executive assistant that lives in iMessage, WhatsApp and Slack, and calls your phone

Toyo is an AI agent built for non-technical founders and small teams who need an executive assistant but can't hire one. It runs on a cloud computer with browser and app access, so it can triage your inbox, prep you for meetings, research prospects, and draft outreach, all through a normal text or voice conversation. There's no dashboard to learn; you just message it like you would a real assistant, and it asks for your approval before taking any action outside its sandbox.
