Agent Pets

Agent Pets is a Chrome extension and local helper that represents coding agent sessions as interactive animated pets along browser pages.

Agent Pets connects local AI coding sessions to a Chromium extension via a background helper running on localhost. It turns sessions from Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, and omp into animated pets that walk along the bottom of web pages. When an agent needs permission to edit a file or run a command, its pet bounces, allowing developers to approve, deny, or send replies directly from their current tab or a desktop notification. All processing stays local with no cloud accounts or prompt transmission.
