Vis

Vis is a coding agent that combines tools into Python programs. It can chain operations, run them in parallel, and inspect results before deciding what belongs in the conversation.

Install

Install the vis-agent command:

curl -fsSL https://github.com/Blockether/vis/releases/download/installer/install-vis-agent | bash
vis-agent help

Tracks choose which version of Vis you install:

• release (default) installs the latest stable version and does not need Java.
• beta installs the latest published preview that passed automated checks and does not need Java.
• dev runs the latest code from main on the JVM and needs Git and JDK 25+.

vis-agent update
vis-agent update --track beta
vis-agent update --track dev

Clojure library:

;; deps.edn
{:deps {com.blockether/vis {:mvn/version "0.1.44"}}}

Quick start

vis-agent tui                                      # interactive terminal UI
vis-agent gateway start --host 10.0.0.5 --pair       # phone app gateway; prints a pairing QR

vis-agent tui opens the terminal UI and starts a local gateway if needed. Every plain vis-agent update selects release; name beta or dev when updating those tracks. See Runtime distributions. A non-loopback --host requires a bearer token. --pair prints a QR code containing the address and token. See Remote access and the Companion app.

Companion app (iPhone / Android)

Install the app and scan the pairing QR code to access the same sessions as the terminal UI. Both stores offer public testing without an invitation.
