After using it for a while, flipping through sessions and switching branches in the terminal is really a hassle. The pi coding agent now has a web version called pi-web, which lets you do these things directly in the browser: see the session list, grouped by working directory, at a glance; chat with the agent in real time, and switch models on the fly in the middle of a conversation; fork from any message, or roll back to a certain node and continue the conversation, with visual navigation for switching branches; compress long sessions that take up too much context into a summary; the best part is that no installation is needed — just run one line: npx @agegr/pi-web@latest. Honestly, it’s way more comfortable than blindly operating in the terminal. https://github.com/agegr/pi-web — # agegr/pi-web Source: https://github.com/agegr/pi-web # pi-web Web interface for the pi coding agent (https://github.com/badlogic/pi-mono). Browse sessions, chat with the agent, fork conversations, and switch message branches in the browser. ## Quick Start No installation required, run directly: bash npx @agegr/pi-web@latest Or install globally and use: bash npm install -g @agegr/pi-web pi-web After starting, open http://localhost:30141. Optional parameters: bash pi-web --port 8080 # Custom port pi-web --hostname 127.0.0.1 # Local access only pi-web -p 8080 -H 127.0.0.1 # Combined usage PORT=8080 pi-web # Also supports environment variables ## Features - Session Browser — Displays all pi sessions grouped by working directory - Real-time Conversation — Interact with the agent via SSE streaming output - Session Forking — Create new independent session branches from any user message - In-Session Branching — Roll back to any node and continue the conversation, creating branches within the same file - Branch Navigator — Visually switch between branches within the same session - Model Switching — Switch models anytime during a conversation - Tool Panel — Control which tools the agent can use - Compress Session — Summarize long sessions to save context window - Interrupt / Append — Interrupt a running agent, or append a message after it finishes ## Notes - Data Directory — Reads session files from ~/.pi/agent/sessions by default. You can specify a different directory via the PI_CODING_AGENT_DIR environment variable. - Model Configuration — Reads available models from models.json in the agent data directory; can be edited in the “Models” panel in the sidebar. - File Browser — Built-in file browser in the sidebar; lets you view files in the current working directory in tabs. ## Development bash npm install npm run dev # Port 30141 ## Project Structure app/ api/ sessions/ # Read/write session files agent/ # Send commands, SSE event stream files/ # Read file contents models/ # Available models list and default model models-config/ # Read/write models.json components/ # UI components lib/ session-reader.ts # Parse .jsonl session files rpc-manager.ts # Manage AgentSession lifecycle normalize.ts # Normalize toolCall field names types.ts Session file storage path: ~/.pi/agent/sessions/<encoded working directory>/<timestamp>_.jsonl
