Show HN: Ghost Vessel – give your local LLM agent a face
Ghost Vessel — give your local agent a vessel Bind your local LLM agent (the ghost) into an avatar body (the vessel). A monitor-resident, video-call-style avatar that fronts your personal AI agent (Hermes / OpenClaw, or anything) — a full replacement for the Telegram/messenger chat you keep open to talk to it, serving that agent's exact slash-command menu right in the avatar's window. Not a waifu toy: a real agent client that happens to have a face.

Opening excerpt (first ~120 words) tap to expand
Ghost Vessel — give your local agent a vessel Bind your local LLM agent (the ghost) into an avatar body (the vessel). A monitor-resident, video-call-style avatar that fronts your personal AI agent (Hermes / OpenClaw, or anything) — a full replacement for the Telegram/messenger chat you keep open to talk to it, serving that agent's exact slash-command menu right in the avatar's window. Not a waifu toy: a real agent client that happens to have a face. Your agent replies; the avatar performs it: fine-grained facial emotion beats, a persistent mood that sinks when you scold it and brightens when you praise it, idle states that breathe, blink, and sometimes rest their eyes — all from pre-rendered clips, so the GPU stays free at runtime (no live inference).
