I Want a Kanban Board for All My Agents
Persona-style agents are fun to name, but juggling Claude Code, Codex, ChatGPT and more calls for a single interface. Right now the answer might be to build it myself: a filterable Kanban board with a direct line to each agent.
One of the more fun parts of the "persona" style agents is coming up with good names for them.
Credit to the team formerly known as Cursor, Grok Bot is finding a home in my day to day, even if Codex and Claude Code are still my go to for different tasks, with the ChatGPT desktop app my most used.
What I really want is a single interface on top of all of it to help me manage this, and right now I think the correct answer is to build it myself. My intuition is I need a filterable Kanban view as the main interface with cards that are a direct line to whatever agent is working on something. Herdr has established something interesting here as a packaged way to manage many diverse agents, but I'm over TUIs now - there's a reason the vast majority of people use desktop gui apps.
Anybody else having as much fun as I am?
