"animal crossing-style" is a bit of a stretch

Love this! AI agents can be so abstract to many people and this project really makes it feel much more approachable. Makes me think of Game Dev Story! Would be awesome to see little thinking bubbles over them to show what they are doing. Ultimately I see promise in making it easier to visually see what is happening in the system.

Maybe a bit of an odd one, but can you decorate the office? I'm wondering like have you abstracted the decor elements into something that is straightforward to extend? How easily could I give my office a new espresso machine or something?

The parallel agent coordination is what makes this interesting. Most agent wrappers are just single-agent loops with extra steps.

iMessage is the one that changes the category for me. "Agents that can text real people" is a different thing than a multi-agent demo. I've been hacking on something similar and the hardest problem wasn't orchestration it was figuring out when to bother a human vs. just deciding. How does auto-approval work, is it all-or-nothing or per task?

I like the visualization, but in terms of orchestration, how does it compare to CC’s built in agent swarms?

Love the pixel office. Such a fun way to make multi-agent work less abstract. Being able to actually watch agents walk to their desks and pick up tasks makes it way easier to follow what's happening than staring at terminal logs. Curious if the orchestrator handles cases where two agents need to edit the same file.

Haha this is really cool! I imagine it would be a nice tool to teach kids about working with agents.

does it use the claude code api or the claude code cli? You know, the claude code api is more expensive.
I also hope it can have a webapp version, rather than electron. because most of our work are on a remote server.

Sorry, but there's not even a single hint of a visual relationship to Animal Crossing here. I believe this title is inaccurate.
