Native is compelling if it stays fast with multiple agents running. The view I’d want most is one timeline of every tool call, diff, and approval.

I don't understand what is the value of this tool, can you elaborate?

So this is basically a wrapper over the existing agents from differnt vendors? Just poke it a bit and find for codex it use app server protocol too > Not backed by Y Combinator This is humor, isn't it?

Love GPUI. Will give this a try later!

I built my first "real" GUI app recently with the help of Codex, as in actually looks and feels good. I used GPUI and the one-dark theme from Zed and it's super smooth, the code is super easy to understand and I love the way it looks. Not quite as simple as the VB6 and forms apps of my youth but as a Rust dude I definitely grokked it easily and was surprised how much of it I was able to do myself once the agent had helped with wiring up the scaffold.

The lack of commas in the title yields some ambiguity: - is it an app for creating custom agents? - do the agents use Rust and GPUI?

This looks great! will try it out
