About y

y https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/24f10277-bb0e-4c3f-8a05-6833363d07a2 Star History y is a malleable desktop coding-agent app. It is built around a simple idea: software should become malleable while you use it. The main interface is a chat, but the app can reshape its own UI through a protected Modify surface. You can ask y to change how y itself works, keep the change if it renders safely, or roll it back if it does not. y is not a new agent model. It is a local, chat-first workspace for the coding agents you already use: Claude Code, OpenAI Co
