Show HN: Panel – A research workspace where the agent can build its own panes
Panel is a new research workspace tool that allows AI agents to build custom panes, viewers, and apps to assist users with research tasks. The tool is currently in an early testing phase and supports integration with Claude Code.
Why it matters
It represents the evolution of AI-integrated development environments, moving from simple chat interfaces to agent-driven workspace management.
A research workspace where the agent works beside you: chat, files, PDFs and notebooks in one dock, and the agent can also create custom viewers and apps when necessary
This is an early build for testers. Expect rough edges, and feel free to raise issues.
Node 22.18 or newer (or 24.12 and newer) pnpm uv , which fetches the Python it needs (3.12 or newer) by itself Claude Code , installed and signed in: run claude once and log in. The agent and the literature review run through it. Install and start pnpm install uv sync pnpm start Then open http://localhost:4173 . pnpm start builds the app first, so the first start takes a minute. Ctrl-C stops everything it started.
