In this video, I'll be telling you about T3 Code, a new open-source graphical interface for Codex by Theo, and how it compares to other agentic UI options like Conductor, Jean, and Verdent.

Key Takeaways:

🆕 T3 Code is a new open-source GUI for Codex by Theo, currently in alpha stage.
🌐 It can be run as a web server or as a desktop app, with both offering the same core experience.
🐛 Adding projects is quite buggy, with issues around tilde paths and missing folder validation.
🌿 It supports worktrees, branch switching, plan and code mode, and reasoning effort settings.
⚠️ File change visibility is very limited, with no clear diff view or tool call file tracking.
🔍 Jean and Verdent are better open-source alternatives, with Verdent being the standout option.
✅ T3 Code is promising due to being open-source but needs significant work before daily use.

T3 Code is a new open-source GUI for agentic coding tools (currently supporting Codex only) by Theo, currently in alpha. It offers features like project management, plan/code mode switching, worktree support, and one-click commit/push. However, it has notable bugs including broken tilde path resolution, missing file diff views, and no security for its web server mode. Compared to alternatives like Verdant (praised for lightweight performance, parallel agents, and browser-like UX) and Gene, T3 Code brings little new to the table and needs significant work before daily use.

T3 Code: Another Agentic GUI that is GOOD BUT NOT USABLE..

<p>Well it is in alpha so that is expected. I don’t know about the unusable part given that is what I have been using since last week.</p>
