Developer creates avatar interface for local AI agents

A developer has created Ghost Vessel, an open-source application that replaces the traditional chat interface for local AI agents with a video-call-style avatar. This avatar uses pre-rendered clips and inline "emotion beats" emitted by the LLM to convey expressions and actions, rather than relying on real-time GPU inference. The system integrates with local LLMs like Hermes and OpenClaw by registering as a connector, allowing it to receive agent replies and parse them for dialogue, data, and action cues to drive the avatar's performance and display information.
