GUI

[Ted Robertson (tredondo)]

Happy to see an alternative to OpenCode!

What would be even better? An alternative to OpenCode Desktop!

Deep Agents is already one of the most capable open-source agentic frameworks available. The TUI is excellent, but the TUI is also a ceiling because Deep Agents' conceptual model is richer than any terminal can fully express.

What do I mean by this? Consider what the runtime already does that the TUI (more or less) obscures:

• LangGraph graph topology and sub-agent trees: a GUI could visualize these as a live, expanding tree view showing each agent's status, token budget, and tool calls in real time
• Planning state: write_todos/read_todos represents structured task state that deserves a dedicated panel, not just interleaved chat output.
• All the ergonomics of proportional fonts
• Markdown tables with automatic column widths
• Mermaid diagrams
• Diffs: a GUI diff viewer with syntax highlighting, inline approval/rejection, and side-by-side mode would dramatically improve the human-in-the-loop review experience.

The TUI is a great power-user interface. A GUI is how Deep Agents becomes accessible to the next order of magnitude of users.

GUIs are the direction towards which agentic coding is moving:

• The TUI of ClaudeCode is listed as a point of friction by new users
• OpenCode added a Desktop version (in BETA)
• Cursor, Zed, Windsurf are GUIs already

I think this is valid. Not something we've scoped thoroughly yet, right now the core focus is improving the harness. Here's a sample of what you could do. Would love to see what the community can put forward!

what about adding deepagents as a supported agent in https://github.com/pingdotgg/t3code (open source codex app clone)?

[Ted Robertson (tredondo)]

Seems like t3code doesn't support BYOK.

[Ramon Nogueira (ramon-langchain)]

not quite sure what you mean by BYOK?
