Show HN: Yorishiro – a macOS terminal where AI agents live

7/26/2026 at 1:00:13 AM

I'm not interested in humanizing agents. That being said, cool framework for modifying the avatar to be...well, anything else I'd want. Without looking at the code I guess I just need to provide a different rigged model?

Yes, you can change the model. Yorishiro currently supports only VRM 0.x/1.0. VRM is a format widely used in avatar communities, including VTubers.

Please let me know if you’d like support for other 3D model or 2D format (ex. Live2D).

Thanks!

I got GPT-Live running on Yorishiro, and the voice conversation experience was interesting, so I wanted to share it.

This is still an experiment and is not released yet. I used the Codex app server.

It is cool and I don’t see myself moving from my honed iTerm2 m/kitty terminal setup to a completely new terminal app for it. I haven’t got time even to try all cool new kids like ghosttty…

If it was a vscode addon I could try it.

Thanks a lot for your feedback! I think moving cost to another terminal is problem. I build Yorishiro for exploring what is possible, but I’ll consider ways to use with other terminals or editors, for example, add-on, sdk. Thanks!

Very cool. I will definitely check the code out and try this, i dig the concept (I created a poc for a 'terminal pet/buddy' and it was quite hard even with simple ascii.)

Thanks! I'd really appreciate to hear your thoughts after trying it, especially from developer's perspective. I'd love to see your project too!

Love the icon! How do you deal with the performance of rendering the 3D model?

The draw cost is not as heavy as it looks, because it is limited to 30 fps. And I avoid unnecessary rendering when you hide the sidebar window. I’m considering performance mode which is controlled resolution and post processing effects. Thanks!

Surprised this hasn't gotten more attention or comments.
