  THE UI FOR YOUR AI

  

An extendable visual workspace where your AI agents build their own UI. See moi.computer for what it is and how it works.

moi gives your agent of choice a UI it can reshape on the fly and grow into your personal software. Under the hood, the agent writes and embeds live components wired to real data: APIs, local files and commands, MCP servers.

Works with the harness you already use:

Claude Code     Codex     OpenClaw     Hermes

Features

• Bring your own agent. Connect the agent you already use.
• Workspace. The folder where your agent (e.g. Claude Code) runs and keeps its data. It gets a special skill that teaches it how to communicate with moi.
• Theme. The agent can modify the appearance of the workspace for you: fonts, color scheme and more.
• Scratchpad. A shared canvas where you ideate together with the agent: ask it to draw diagrams, add feedback or comments, visualize knowledge and plans.
• Widgets. A dynamic dashboard made of small apps wired to the data from your workspace. They can be rearranged, modified, and completely customized.
• Views. An app embedded in the workspace that lives in its own tab. Build complex interfaces: CRMs, task trackers, second brain storage, customer support views, etc.

Widgets wired to live project stats	Order funnel on the scratchpad, live from Postgres	Use the agent as a copilot when working with products
E-commerce store dashboard connected to Postgres and Resend	Build a Roadmap view with epics and pull requests	Sketching architecture together with the agent
Custom view for color grading	Home screen with your workspaces	Issues view, a lightweight Linear-like tracker

Quick start

Make sure Bun 1.3 or newer is installed. moi uses it to run the web server and bundle the dynamic UI.

Install the moi-computer package from npm and start the web UI:

bun i -g moi-computer
moi start        # http://localhost:13337

Then connect your agent: Claude Code and Codex, OpenClaw, or Hermes.

Learn how to:

• Run moi as a service
• Update moi

How it works

moi runs locally as a CLI and web UI connected to your agent. The workspace skill teaches the agent how to call the CLI, which updates the UI using your files, commands, APIs, and MCP servers.

The core is moi command that both agent and you can use to modify the workspace. Everything gets propagated to the UI instantly.

%%{init: {"theme": "base", "themeVariables": {"primaryColor": "#ffffff", "primaryTextColor": "#111111", "primaryBorderColor": "#111111", "lineColor": "#737373", "edgeLabelBackground": "#ffffff"}}}%%

Moi also stores the all widgets and views as code to keep the workspace filesystem as a source of truth.

Updates installed from the UI restart moi and reload the browser automatically. The app checks npm at most once an hour while it is open, retrying in five minutes if the registry could not be reached; a closed app makes no network calls of its own.

Connect an agent

A workspace is the folder where your agent runs and stores its data. moi adds a .moi/ folder and the skills the agent needs to work with the UI.

You can connect a workspace in either of these ways:

• Open http://localhost:13337 and create a workspace or import one that moi found on your computer.
• Run moi init in a folder. moi detects the harness from the folder's Hermes profile, OpenClaw agent, or Claude Code or Codex history. If detection is ambiguous, it asks you to choose a harness.

Claude Code and Codex

Open Claude Code or Codex in your project folder and paste this prompt:

Set up the moi workspace for this project. Fetch https://moi.computer/INSTALL.md, and follow the steps.

To set it up manually, run:

moi init --harness=claude-code   # or --harness=codex
moi start                       # or run moi as a service

The project folder becomes the workspace. You can create as many workspaces as you need.

OpenClaw

OpenClaw is a self-hosted harness for running one or more always-on agents. Its channels connect agents to Slack and other messaging services.

moi connects each OpenClaw agent to one workspace. See the OpenClaw documentation to add or manage agents.

Run moi openclaw init to connect your agent. If moi finds more than one, it lists them so you can rerun the command with the agent you want:

moi openclaw init
moi openclaw init <agent>       # only needed when you have multiple agents
moi start                       # or run moi as a service

Your agent's workspace will show up at http://localhost:13337.

Hermes

Hermes is a self-hosted personal agent from Nous Research.

moi connects each Hermes profile to one workspace. A profile is a separate agent identity with its own model, keys, persona, skills, and memories.

Run moi hermes init to connect your profile. If moi finds more than one, it lists them so you can rerun the command with the profile you want:

moi hermes init
moi hermes init <profile>       # only needed when you have multiple profiles
moi start                       # or run moi as a service

The profile's workspace appears at http://localhost:13337. To add another, create it with hermes profile create <name>, then run moi hermes init again.

moi connects to Hermes through its built-in Agent Client Protocol server. It starts a hermes -p <profile> acp process and communicates over stdio, so there is no gateway, port, or additional API key to configure.

Manage moi

Run moi as a service

Instead of keeping moi start in a terminal, install moi as a user-level service. It starts on login, restarts on crash, and survives reboots (launchd on macOS, a systemd user unit on Linux; no root needed):

moi service install     # install and start
moi service             # state, unit path, server version
moi service logs -f     # follow server logs
moi service restart
moi service uninstall

Anything your agents need belongs in the workspace env (moi env set or .env). To capture shell variables instead, run moi service install --env MY_TOKEN,OTHER. Rerun moi service install after changing captured vars (or moving bun). On macOS the first install may show a "background item added" notification for "moi"; that is the moi service. On headless Linux, lingering is enabled automatically when possible so the service outlives your SSH session.

Update moi

moi update            # update to the latest release
moi update --check    # only check; exit 0 up to date, 1 update available, 2 check failed

moi update checks npm for the latest release and updates through whichever package manager owns the install (bun, npm, pnpm, or yarn). A service-managed server is restarted onto the new version; a foreground moi start only gets a warning, so restart it yourself. Prerelease installs (…-next.N) are left alone. --check changes nothing and is made for scripts and agents. moi status shows when the running server and CLI versions differ, however the update happened.

No crypto token

moi has no cryptocurrency, token, coin, or NFT, official or otherwise, on any chain, and never will. Any token using the moi name, logo, or the maintainer's name (on pump.fun, Solana, or anywhere else) is an unauthorized scam with no affiliation to, endorsement from, or benefit to this project. The maintainer will never announce, endorse, or accept proceeds from a token. Don't buy it, and report it to the platform where it's listed.
