Peon Ping

Peon Ping is an AI agent notification system that plays character voice sounds when terminal tasks finish or require user input.

Peon Ping adds audio feedback to AI coding agents and terminal workflows. It integrates with tools like Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and others to trigger character voice lines upon task completion or permission requests. Users configure settings to toggle sound categories, control volume, and prevent repeating audio tracks. It includes an MCP server that enables AI agents to select their own sounds directly. The software supports over 160 sound packs across 14 languages, and users can create and publish custom packs via GitHub.
