Developer Builds Pixel-Art AI Office Where Agents Actually Write Code and Open PRs

A developer built an open-source tool called 'My Little Office' that uses pixel-art characters to represent real AI coding agents assigned to different software roles such as engineer, QA, and tech lead. Each character is backed by actual AI models — including ChatGPT, Gemini, and Grok — that can receive tasks, modify a real codebase, run tests, and open pull requests autonomously. The project began as a playful dashboard concept but evolved when the creator connected agents to a live repository and watched them independently solve coding problems. The creator found that managing these agents shifted their role from writing code to defining problems clearly, setting boundaries, and verifying outputs. This experience prompted a broader reflection on how software development skills may need to evolve as AI handles more of the actual implementation work.
