Age of Agents (github.com)

The newly launched npm package "Age of Agents" transforms the experience of coding with AI into a visual, interactive pixel-art realm. Each AI coding session—whether using Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, or Koda—introduces a settler into a calm, Age-of-Empires-style environment. The settlers represent tasks being executed, while various workshops symbolize the tools in operation, allowing users to observe their agents' activities in a gamified manner without any combat. This tool is significant for the AI/ML community as it not only offers a glanceable overview of ongoing tasks but also enhances productivity through an engaging format. Age of Agents operates as a small local web app, processing session transcripts to visually represent productivity metrics and real-time status. The app also accommodates projects’ complexities by enabling users to switch between multiple "cities," visualize AI-generated tasks, and interface with external AI-native tools like Beads for task tracking. With its emphasis on privacy—never storing session data outside local environments—this innovative approach presents a new way for developers to interact with AI, promoting both transparency and efficiency in coding workflows.
