Termi Protocol

Termi Protocol is a desktop application that turns AI coding agent workflows into a live 3D simulation. Built for developers who already run CLI-based agents like Claude Code, Codex, or Gemini CLI, it wraps those agents in a visual "room" where every file read, command, and code change becomes a watchable 3D action. The app is available for macOS and Windows and operates locally-first — your code and API keys never leave your machine.

What It Is

Termi Protocol describes itself as "the world's first 3D AI agent workspace." Rather than replacing your AI coding agent, it acts as a control layer on top of whichever CLI agent you already use. Each agent gets a virtual desk in a 3D room, and the app renders its activity — reading files, writing code, running commands — as animated actions in that space. The goal is to replace the opaque wall of scrolling terminal text with something you can actually watch and understand.

How the Workflow Works

The core loop has three steps:

• Bring your agent — connect Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Copilot, Grok CLI, Aider, Ollama, Amazon Q, Groq, or any CLI agent using your own API keys.
• Watch it build — the agent's actions are rendered live in 3D; the Command Center panel shows a real xterm + PTY shell, a kanban task board, checkpoints, live token and dollar cost, and per-project memory.
• Stay in control — you can stop, pause, or approve any step; file locks prevent two agents from editing the same file simultaneously; checkpoints let you rewind a bad edit in seconds.

When an agent pauses for approval, the app plays an audio alert and sends a system notification so you can step away without missing a decision point.

Architecture and Local-First Design

Termi Protocol runs agents on your own machine using your own API keys. The app does not proxy your code or agent output through its servers. Session state — task boards, checkpoints, and per-agent project memory — is saved locally so you can close the app and resume exactly where you left off without re-explaining context. The June 2026 Chronicle entries note backend hardening work including response headers, rate limits, stricter input handling, and a dependency audit, suggesting an active server component for account/licensing, while the agent execution itself remains local.

Game Layer and Leaderboard

Termi Protocol includes a progression system called the Moscow Protocol game layer. Real workflow steps earn XP, and users climb through eight leagues from Rookie (Lv 1–4) to Legend (Lv 75+). A global leaderboard ranks users, and founding backers receive a badge on that leaderboard. The game layer is framed as a way to make productive agent use feel competitive and rewarding.

Roadmap: Nine Protocols, One World

The product ships in named chapters, each described as a "city" that adds a new layer of functionality. According to the site, Milano (Chapter 01) is live as of mid-2026 and includes rooms, a real terminal, 3D agent visualization, checkpoints, and tasks. Eight additional protocols — Istanbul, London, Madrid, Paris, Mexico City, a second Madrid, Moscow, and Giza Pyramid — are planned through May of the following year and are included in the lifetime pass.

Update: June 2026 Launch and Lifetime Pricing

The Chronicle (the product's news section) shows active releases in June 2026. Notable entries include the announcement of a one-time lifetime license model (June 21), a backend security hardening update (June 20), and an accessibility improvement making file-tree rows keyboard and screen-reader navigable (June 20). The product was also featured on Product Hunt. The current pricing model is a single one-time payment with no subscription, no usage caps, and no auto-renewal.
