## What it is
A pi extension that replicates Claude.ai's generative UI system, letting an LLM stream interactive HTML/SVG widgets (sliders, charts, animations) into native windows via Glimpse. It adds show_widget and visualize_read_me tools so the LLM can render live HTML applications as tokens arrive, with morphdom-based smooth updates and SVG export.

## Use cases
- show interactive visual explanations of concepts like compound interest
- visualize architecture diagrams as labeled SVG from an LLM
- create live dashboards with charts and metric cards from data
- render canvas animations like particle systems generated by an LLM
- stream HTML widgets into native windows as the LLM generates tokens
- export LLM-generated SVG diagrams to clipboard or file

## When to choose
- you use the pi coding agent and want Claude.ai-style generative UI widgets
- you want LLM output rendered as interactive HTML in a native window instead of a code block
- you need streamed, live-updating visualizations with Chart.js, D3, or Three.js

## When to avoid
- you don't use pi or Glimpse and can't install its native dependencies
- you need widgets to send user input back to the agent (widgets are display-only)
- you require a permissively licensed dependency (the repo has no license)
