Show HN: Mato – a Multi-Agent Terminal Office workspace (tmux-like) (github.com)

A new terminal multiplexer called Mato has been introduced, designed to revolutionize how users manage multiple AI agents in a command-line environment. Unlike traditional terminal multiplexers like tmux or screen, which lack visibility into the status of tabs, Mato transforms the terminal into a dynamic workspace that visualizes ongoing tasks and allows users to monitor the activity of multiple agents simultaneously. It provides live activity signals across different tabs, enabling users to jump directly to the needed workspace without navigating one tab at a time. This innovation is significant for the AI/ML community as it streamlines complex workflows involving numerous background processes, facilitating efficient management of agent swarms. Mato adheres to a minimalist design philosophy—only requiring the "Esc" key to switch modes while preserving all other keyboard shortcuts for seamless usage. With a robust testing framework and easy installation options for both Linux and macOS, Mato encourages user contributions for continuous improvement, making it an essential tool for developers working in AI and machine learning environments.
