Voice transcript ingestion
Capture speech via Agent Wispr, classify intent, and route transcripts directly into the terminal session without breaking flow.
AI voice-to-agent developer terminal
Capture voice, classify intent, enrich with semantic memory, and launch bounded coding tasks — all from a single desktop terminal built for AI-native development.
Desktop app optimized for solo developers using voice + local AI in daily coding sessions.
Pair the terminal with Agent Wispr, Agent Brain, and Agent Harness when you want the complete connected loop.
# 1. clone and start the current app git clone https://github.com/joshl26/agent-terminal.git cd agent-terminal npm install npm run tauri:dev # 2. open Composer and draft a goal # the local guard reviews it before dispatch # 3. optionally configure Brain and Harness # BRAIN_BASE_URL / HARNESS_BASE_URL # 4. inspect context, history, and run status

What it does
Agent Terminal is a real, shipping desktop application — not a demo. It captures voice through Agent Wispr, can enrich requests with Agent Brain when configured, validates each outgoing request with a pre-send guard, and delegates bounded coding tasks to Agent Harness when that service is configured.
Capture speech via Agent Wispr, classify intent, and route transcripts directly into the terminal session without breaking flow.
When Agent Brain is configured, recall relevant project context — facts, decisions, and prior work inform the guard and session context.
Compose a goal in the terminal, run the pre-send guard, and delegate bounded coding tasks directly to Agent Harness workers.
Every session and turn is persisted to a local SQLite database. Browse and replay past sessions from the History tab.
Runs as a first-class Tauri desktop application. Platform artifacts are published through the live download manifest — not a browser tab.
A pure, side-effect-free guard evaluates every outgoing message before dispatch — blocking risky or malformed requests before they leave.
Log in once and stay authenticated across Brain, Terminal, and Harness. Tokens are stored in the OS credential store — no re-login when switching apps.
How it works
Use Agent Wispr to capture voice transcripts, or type directly in the Composer tab. The terminal classifies intent and prepares context.
When configured, Agent Brain supplies relevant project facts, prior decisions, and session history before a task is launched.
Every outgoing message passes through a pure guard function that validates scope, detects risky patterns, and blocks malformed requests.
Bounded coding tasks are dispatched to Agent Harness workers. Live run status appears in the Runs tab with full attempt history.
First-run shape
Start with `npm run tauri:dev`, open the Composer tab, and type a goal. Brain enrichment and Harness delegation are optional configured integrations; add Wispr voice input when you want hands-free operation.

What's shipping now
The complete workflow is already here: capture a goal, enrich it, guard it, run it, and inspect what happened.
Composer, Runs, History, Transcripts, and Context run today as a Tauri desktop workflow. Available platform artifacts follow the live release manifest — not a browser tab or a demo build.
Agent Wispr transcripts flow directly into the Composer tab, classified and ready to act on, without a copy-paste round trip.
Agent Brain pulls relevant project facts and prior decisions into context before every session starts, not on request.
Bounded coding tasks launch straight to Agent Harness, with live status and full attempt history visible in the Runs tab.
A pure, side-effect-free guard checks scope and blocks malformed or risky requests before they ever leave the app.
Every session and turn is persisted to a local SQLite database — browse and replay any past session from the History tab.
FAQ
Yes. Agent Terminal runs entirely on your own machine as a Tauri desktop app. No cloud required for core functionality.
It bridges voice input, semantic memory, and AI task delegation into one desktop terminal — so you can speak a goal and have it routed to the right tool without leaving your workflow.
No, but the terminal is designed to work best with both. Brain provides memory enrichment; Harness handles bounded task execution. Each is independently optional.
Download and install Agent Terminal, open the app, go to the Composer tab, and type a goal. Check the Runs tab to see the Harness response.
No. Agent Wispr is an optional integration. You can type directly in the Composer tab and get the full memory-enriched, guard-protected, Harness-delegated flow.
Use the install guide and quickstart docs for installation, a first local session, and optional Brain or Harness pairing.
