Agents Are Thinking

Terminal animation effects for agents' "thinking" state. Braille, block characters, unicode glyphs. No runtime dependencies.

Get Started

The package is written in rust. And provides python binding using PY03, and wasm binding using wasm-bindgen.

"Too complicated, just want to watch them thinking!"

uv tool install agents-are-thinking[cli]
uv tool run agents-are-thinking preview
