CLI commands

ak gui

Launch the AgentKit desktop GUI

ak gui

Launch the AgentKit desktop GUI

Synopsis

What it does: Open the AgentKit desktop UI in a native window backed by the same binary as the CLI.

Who it's for: Non-technical users and power devs who prefer a graphical surface for kit + agent ops.

When to use it: When you want point-and-click access to kit browsing, agent runs, and dashboards. The CLI exposes the same operations for scripting.

Examples: ak gui # launch on macOS/Linux/Windows ak gui --no-interactive # fail fast in CI rather than block on a window

What changes on disk: Read-only (UI launch). Underlying agent runs may write per-agent caches.

Output modes: pretty default on TTY (colors, ASCII markers) plain auto when stdout piped or --no-interactive json --json (single-object envelope, NDJSON-safe)

Exit codes: 0 success 1 runtime error 2 invalid flags 3 user-cancel (SIGINT, prompt-cancel) 0 GUI not packaged for this platform (linux/arm64, windows/arm64) — CLI works normally 4 GUI not linked (this binary built without -tags wails); see https://github.com/bestagentkits/agentkit-support/releases
