Prototype swaps AI chat feeds for a card-based workspace, supports Hermes

A developer, frustrated with typical chat-style AI , built an alternative. In a normal chat window, generated around one topic — a plan, notes, a table, an image — gets buried as the conversation continues, forcing constant scrolling to find things again. This prototype instead lays out generated content as cards side by side on a board, so stays visible at once.

Pasting in a link lets you chat directly inside the workspace with Hermes, Codex, or Claude. It also has built-in and output, so you can talk to it and hear responses. Cards can be edited, moved, and grouped by topic.

The developer pushed an early snapshot to GitHub; there's no plan yet, but they're open to polishing it further if people find the idea useful.

Key points

  • Built a card-based workspace UI where AI outputs sit side by side on a board instead of a chat feed
  • Paste a link to chat directly inside the workspace with Hermes, Codex, or Claude
  • Includes built-in TTS/STT so you can talk to it by voice and hear responses
  • Cards are editable, movable, and can be grouped by topic
  • Early snapshot pushed to GitHub as a personal project with no plan yet
