About Statewave
Statewave is an open-source memory runtime designed specifically for production-grade AI agents. It provides a robust framework for managing durable, structured context with built-in provenance, ensuring that your AI agents can maintain reliable and traceable memories over time.
Built with developer autonomy and security in mind, Statewave is designed to be self-hosted on Postgres. This allows teams to maintain full ownership of their data infrastructure while leveraging a specialized runtime to power the complex cognitive states and memory requirements of modern AI agent architectures.
Pros of Statewave
- Fully open-source memory runtime
- Maintains durable, structured context for AI agents
- Provides provenance tracking for context and memory data
- Supports self-hosting on Postgres for complete data ownership
Cons of Statewave
- Requires technical expertise to set up and self-host
- Infrastructure options are currently focused on Postgres databases
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Statewave?
Statewave is an open-source memory runtime built for production AI agents, helping them maintain durable, structured context with clear provenance.
How is Statewave hosted?
Statewave is designed to be self-hosted, running directly on your own Postgres database for maximum data control and privacy.
What does 'provenance' mean in Statewave?
Provenance refers to the tracking of how context and memory are created, updated, and referenced, allowing developers to trace the origin and history of the AI agent's active context.
About Vizhi
Vizhi (named after the Tamil word for 'eye') is an open-source hardware mission control interface engineered for developers managing concurrent AI coding sessions. Created by indie developer Ravi Shankar during OpenAI Build Week, Vizhi addresses a modern workflow bottleneck: as autonomous coding assistants handle the bulk of software generation, developer attention shifts towards monitoring, approving, and steering multiple terminal processes. Vizhi maps these supervisory tasks directly onto physical hardware via the Logitech MX Creative Keypad, turning its dynamic LCD keys into a dedicated command deck. The system tracks up to six active Codex CLI sessions simultaneously across macOS terminal tabs, binding each session to a persistent LCD key showing its live status and context consumption. When an AI agent reaches a permission checkpoint or command execution gate, the corresponding key lights up in amber or red, enabling instant, one-press approvals directly from the keypad without switching windows. Beyond physical controls, Vizhi integrates offline Whisper-based voice dictation to send spoken prompts straight to agents, backed by TTY-verified safety delivery. For developers without the physical Logitech keypad, Vizhi includes a local browser-based companion dashboard that mirrors session supervision entirely offline.
Pros of Vizhi
- Transforms physical keypad hardware into an intuitive, glanceable control deck for up to six simultaneous Codex CLI sessions
- One-touch hardware approval keys reduce window-switching fatigue during multi-agent workflows
- Completely local and private architecture with on-device Whisper transcription and token-protected TTY verification
- Includes a browser-based local dashboard fallback for developers without the Logitech MX keypad
- Open-source and highly customizable key-binding configuration
Cons of Vizhi
- Full hardware experience requires a specific peripheral (the Logitech MX Creative Keypad)
- Currently tailored specifically to macOS and Apple Terminal environments
- Requires manual local setup spanning multiple toolchain components
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Vizhi and how does it help developers?
Vizhi is an open-source supervisor dashboard that connects Codex CLI agent sessions to the Logitech MX Creative Keypad, allowing developers to monitor active sessions, approve terminal actions with one press, and issue voice prompts.
Do I need a Logitech MX Creative Keypad to use Vizhi?
No. While the system is optimized for the physical LCD keys of the Logitech MX Creative Keypad, Vizhi includes a local browser dashboard that provides full session monitoring and controls on your computer screen.
How does voice prompting work in Vizhi?
Vizhi features a dedicated Voice key powered by local Whisper transcription. Spoken instructions are transcribed on-device without cloud API dependencies and sent directly to the targeted agent terminal.
Is Vizhi safe to use for terminal command approvals?
Yes. Vizhi runs entirely on your local machine and uses token-protected, TTY-verified approval delivery with visual color-coded badges to guard against unauthorized or accidental command executions.
