    From the README

    The desktop app for the pi coding agent.

    Run agents in parallel threads, each in its own git worktree if you want one. Review every change, run the tests in a real terminal, and ship without leaving the window. pi-gui is a desktop shell around @earendil-works/pi-coding-agent, not a separate agent: sessions, models, auth and tools all run through pi itself, so anything you set up with the pi CLI carries over.

    A real run: the agent fixes a bug, adds a test and runs it, then the change opens for review. (Watch in full quality)

    Every task gets its own thread. Start it in your checkout or in a fresh git worktree, then start the next one while it works. The sidebar shows what is running, what finished and what needs you. Pin threads, group them by time or workspace, and archive the ones you are done with.
