Design Thinking

Okibi: the agent's terminal and your dashboard, side by side

Unsolicited concept for Okibi. Not affiliated with or endorsed by Okibi. See their live site

The thinking

Product teams don't buy "a CLI". They buy agents that sign up and pay, and they want to watch one do it.

Reimagined. Our redesign: the same headline centred above one window split in two, an agent's terminal signing up and paying on the left, the founder's dashboard with a new Paid row on the right.

The business

Sells

A CLI generated from your product, so AI agents can install it and use the product fully on their own, from sign-up to paying.

Who signs

Product teams who expect their next customers to be agents, the way DoorDash, Mercury and Ramp already ship CLIs for them.

What's at stake

"Agents into customers" is the promise, and the hero is where a product team decides whether to try it.

What the page does now

The hero puts the headline beside a window on a purple block that cycles Terminal, Dashboard and Commands. It shows Okibi making a CLI, but the text is small and the payoff in the headline, an agent becoming a customer, never appears. Their Human and Machine toggle sits at the bottom of the page.

What we kept

Their headline word for word, the pixel-dot flame, the pink, Geist and Geist Mono, the cream ground, the curl install line and the Human and Machine idea.

What we changed

  1. Machine and Human, side by side.

    One window, two panes: the agent's terminal on the left, the founder's Okibi dashboard on the right. Their Human and Machine toggle labels each pane.

    Our redesign: the same headline centred above one window split in two, an agent's terminal signing up and paying on the left, the founder's dashboard with a new Paid row on the right.
  2. The agent signs up on its own.

    claude-code runs a sign-up with --identity, picks a model and pays. No form, no human stop.

  3. The payoff lands where the founder looks.

    As the terminal says done, a new row lands Paid on the dashboard. The agent is now a customer.

    Breakdown with three callouts: Machine and Human, one sign-up, two views; --identity signs up with no human stop; the Paid row, where the agent is now a customer.

Our hypothesis

More product teams trying the CLI, because they watch an agent become a paying customer before anyone scrolls.

Invented for the concept

Jane, northwind.dev, lumen.so and halcyon.io, the openrouter commands and prices, and the 128 agent customers are made up for the concept, and the subhead is ours. OpenRouter is the example because Okibi's own hero uses it.
